# Logos Bible vs Enduring Word Commentary

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Enduring Word Commentary at none against Logos Bible's 18. Enduring Word Commentary also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Logos Bible's advantage is ratings volume (173K vs 695) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Logos Bible sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Enduring Word Commentary asks for nothing beyond the download.

Logos Bible holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Logos Bible has 173K ratings behind it against 695, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Logos Bible's written reviews are positive against 84% of Enduring Word Commentary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
