Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: LDS Priesthood at Free against LDS Scripture Power Memorization's $0.99. LDS Priesthood also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). LDS Scripture Power Memorization's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#76 vs unranked). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LDS Priesthood holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LDS Priesthood has 453 ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of LDS Scripture Power Memorization's written reviews are positive against 81% of LDS Priesthood's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LDS Scripture Power Memorization ships an update every 6 weeks, LDS Priesthood fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
