# SparkBible vs that sermon

The clearest difference is monetization model: SparkBible at freemium against that sermon's subscription. SparkBible also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 5) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). that sermon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SparkBible sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and that sermon sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

that sermon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SparkBible has 1.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of SparkBible's written reviews are positive against 100% of that sermon's.

SparkBible ships an update monthly, that sermon every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
