# Bible vs Bible Art

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bible at none against Bible Art's 4. Bible also leads on review sentiment (99% vs 72%) and ratings volume (14M vs 517). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Art sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Bible asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bible against 4.8 for Bible Art. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible has 14M ratings behind it against 517, 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 72% of Bible Art's.

Bible ships an update every 2 weeks, Bible Art weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
