# Quran Reader vs Quran Mobile

The clearest difference is ads: Quran Reader at none against Quran Mobile's shown. Quran Reader also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Quran Mobile's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quran Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Quran Mobile sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Quran Reader against 4.6 for Quran Mobile. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 842 and 1.4K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Quran Reader's written reviews are positive against 86% of Quran Mobile's.

Quran Reader ships an update every 2 months, Quran Mobile fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
