# LDS Hymns vs ScripturePlus

The clearest difference is rating: ScripturePlus at 4.9 against LDS Hymns's 4.1. ScripturePlus also leads on ratings volume (9.5K vs 63) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). LDS Hymns's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ScripturePlus holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1.
