# Versify App vs ScriptureWriter

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Versify App at 15K against ScriptureWriter's 1. Versify App also leads on chart position (#172 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Versify App against 5.0 for ScriptureWriter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Versify App has 15K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
