# Bible vs Universal Países

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bible at 3.4K against Universal Países's 352. Bible also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Universal Países's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Universal Países sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Bible against 4.9 for Universal Países. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible has 3.4K ratings behind it against 352, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Bible's written reviews are positive against 96% of Universal Países's.

Bible ships an update every 10 days, Universal Países every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
