# Athkar vs FivePrayer

The clearest difference is ads: Athkar at none against FivePrayer's shown. Athkar also leads on chart position (#90 vs unranked) and ratings volume (123K vs 15K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Athkar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and FivePrayer sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. 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 FivePrayer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Athkar has 123K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 91% and 90% positive.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
