# Planter vs Pray Board

The clearest difference is update cadence: Pray Board at daily against Planter's every 8 days. Pray Board also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Planter's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planter sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pray Board sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pray Board holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planter has 2.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Planter ships an update every 8 days, Pray Board daily. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
