Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: القرآن الكريم at none against Quran Reader's 1. القرآن الكريم also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 83%). Quran Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (842 vs 132). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Quran Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. القرآن الكريم asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Quran Reader against 4.7 for القرآن الكريم. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quran Reader has 842 ratings behind it against 132, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Quran Reader's written reviews are positive against 95% of القرآن الكريم's.
Quran Reader ships an update every 2 months, القرآن الكريم every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
