# Bible vs HearFaith

The clearest difference is monetization model: Bible at free with in-app purchases against HearFaith's subscription. Bible also leads on ratings volume (821 vs 11). HearFaith's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and HearFaith sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Bible against 4.9 for HearFaith. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible has 821 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of Bible's written reviews are positive against 100% of HearFaith's.

Bible ships an update every 9 days, HearFaith every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
