# Prayer Notes vs The PrayersApp

The clearest difference is ads: The PrayersApp at none against Prayer Notes's shown. The PrayersApp also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Prayer Notes's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 20). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prayer Notes sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and The PrayersApp sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The PrayersApp holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prayer Notes has 3.8K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Prayer Notes's written reviews are positive against 100% of The PrayersApp's.

Prayer Notes ships an update every 2 months, The PrayersApp fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
