# The Bible Memory App vs Focus Bible

The clearest difference is ratings volume: The Bible Memory App at 33K against Focus Bible's 2. The Bible Memory App also leads on chart position (#92 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 2). Focus Bible's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Bible Memory App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Focus Bible sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Bible holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Bible Memory App has 33K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of The Bible Memory App's written reviews are positive against 100% of Focus Bible's.

The Bible Memory App ships an update monthly, Focus Bible fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
