# Bible vs Bible Offline JFA

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bible at none against Bible Offline JFA's 7. Bible also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (14M vs 5.9K). Bible Offline JFA's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support (6 vs 4). On price, rating and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Offline JFA sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Bible asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bible against 4.9 for Bible Offline JFA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible has 14M ratings behind it against 5.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 99% of Bible's written reviews are positive against 90% of Bible Offline JFA's.

Bible ships an update every 2 weeks, Bible Offline JFA every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
