# Life Bible App vs New King James Version

The clearest difference is rating: Life Bible App at 4.9 against New King James Version's 4.3. Life Bible App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Life Bible App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and New King James Version sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Life Bible App holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Life Bible App has 106K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Life Bible App ships an update fortnightly, New King James Version every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
