# Bible One Year vs ArcaBooks

The clearest difference is rating: ArcaBooks at 5.0 against Bible One Year's 4.4. ArcaBooks also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Bible One Year's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible One Year sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ArcaBooks asks for nothing beyond the download.

ArcaBooks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible One Year has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Bible One Year's written reviews are positive against 56% of ArcaBooks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bible One Year ships an update every 22 months, ArcaBooks every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
