# Learn Quran vs OpenArabic

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Learn Quran at 63% against OpenArabic's 0%. Learn Quran also leads on ratings volume (23 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). OpenArabic's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Quran sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. OpenArabic asks for nothing beyond the download.

OpenArabic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Quran has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Learn Quran's written reviews are positive against 0% of OpenArabic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Learn Quran ships an update every 2 months, OpenArabic weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
