Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Al at 4.6 against Athkar App's 4.1. Al also leads on iOS requirement (7.1 vs 13.0). Athkar App's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 39). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Al holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Athkar App has 1.7K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Al's written reviews are positive against 86% of Athkar App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Al ships an update every 5 months, Athkar App every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
