# Prayer Notes vs WWJD

The clearest difference is ads: WWJD at none against Prayer Notes's shown. Prayer Notes's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 374). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prayer Notes sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WWJD sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WWJD 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 374, 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 79% of WWJD's.

Prayer Notes ships an update every 6 days, WWJD every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
