Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Learn Qur'an at none against Telawat's shown. Learn Qur'an also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (132 vs 10). Telawat's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (91% vs 81%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Telawat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Qur'an has 132 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Telawat's written reviews are positive against 81% of Learn Qur'an's.
Telawat ships an update every 11 months, Learn Qur'an every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
