# Bible vs Bible Verses

The clearest difference is monetization model: Bible at free with in-app purchases against Bible Verses's subscription. Bible Verses's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (50% vs 38%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Bible Verses sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bible Verses holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 303 and 370 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Bible's written reviews are positive against 50% of Bible Verses's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
