# The Bible Memory App vs Bread

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bread at none against The Bible Memory App's 20. Bread also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). The Bible Memory App's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 27) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Bible Memory App sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Bread asks for nothing beyond the download.
