# Prayer Notes vs Daily SOAP

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daily SOAP at none against Prayer Notes's 8. Daily SOAP also leads on ads (none vs shown). Prayer Notes's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 58). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prayer Notes sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Daily SOAP asks for nothing beyond the download.

Daily SOAP holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prayer Notes has 3.8K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Prayer Notes's written reviews are positive against 81% of Daily SOAP's.

Prayer Notes ships an update every 9 days, Daily SOAP weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
