# Bible vs Haven

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bible at none against Haven's 11. Bible also leads on review sentiment (99% vs 64%) and ratings volume (14M vs 1.4K). Haven's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bible against 4.8 for Haven. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible has 14M ratings behind it against 1.4K, 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 64% of Haven's.
