# Bible App vs Versify App

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Versify App at none against Bible App's 11. Versify App also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Bible App's advantage is ratings volume (322K vs 15K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Versify App asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Bible App against 4.9 for Versify App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible App has 322K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Bible App's written reviews are positive against 97% of Versify App's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
