# Kur'an vs ChapterUp

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kur'an at none against ChapterUp's 2. Kur'an also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChapterUp sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Kur'an asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Kur'an against 5.0 for ChapterUp. 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.
