# Athkar vs مفاتيح الجنان

The clearest difference is update cadence: Athkar at every 8 days against مفاتيح الجنان's every 2 months. Athkar also leads on ratings volume (122K vs 3.9K) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). مفاتيح الجنان's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

مفاتيح الجنان holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Athkar has 122K ratings behind it against 3.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Athkar's written reviews are positive against 97% of مفاتيح الجنان's.

Athkar ships an update every 8 days, مفاتيح الجنان every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
