# Kur'an vs Hayrat Risale

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Kur'an at 1.6K against Hayrat Risale's 1. Hayrat Risale's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Kur'an against 5.0 for Hayrat Risale. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kur'an has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Kur'an's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hayrat Risale's.

Kur'an ships an update every 2 weeks, Hayrat Risale fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
