# ArtScroll Digital Library vs Torah Feed

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ArtScroll Digital Library at 57% against Torah Feed's 0%. ArtScroll Digital Library also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Torah Feed's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ArtScroll Digital Library sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Torah Feed sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Torah Feed holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 148 and 74 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of ArtScroll Digital Library's written reviews are positive against 0% of Torah Feed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ArtScroll Digital Library ships an update every 8 days, Torah Feed every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
