# 가톨릭성경 vs Bible

The clearest difference is rating: Bible at 4.9 against 가톨릭성경's 4.3. Bible also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 12) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). 가톨릭성경's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. 가톨릭성경 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bible holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible has 6.2K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of 가톨릭성경's written reviews are positive against 75% of Bible's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

가톨릭성경 ships an update every 3 months, Bible monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
