# BibleProject vs Bible Roots

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BibleProject at none against Bible Roots's 4. BibleProject also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 4) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). Bible Roots's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Roots sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. BibleProject asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for BibleProject against 5.0 for Bible Roots. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BibleProject has 2.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 92% of BibleProject's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bible Roots's.

BibleProject ships an update every 4 weeks, Bible Roots every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
