Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: alQuran at none against Quran Majeed's 13. alQuran also leads on ads (none vs shown). Quran Majeed's advantage is ratings volume (241K vs 244) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment 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 Majeed sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. alQuran asks for nothing beyond the download.
Quran Majeed holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quran Majeed has 241K ratings behind it against 244, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of alQuran's written reviews are positive against 83% of Quran Majeed's.
alQuran ships an update every 2 months, Quran Majeed every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
