# Athkar vs Azkar

The clearest difference is ads: Athkar at none against Azkar's shown. Athkar also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#109 vs unranked). Azkar's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Athkar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Azkar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Athkar against 4.7 for Azkar. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 123K and 48K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Athkar's written reviews are positive against 86% of Azkar's.

Athkar ships an update every 2 weeks, Azkar every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
