# ScriptureDirect vs OpenGreekNT

The clearest difference is monetization model: OpenGreekNT at free against ScriptureDirect's paid. OpenGreekNT also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5). ScriptureDirect's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 15 months) and review sentiment (78% vs 67%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

OpenGreekNT holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScriptureDirect has 51 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of ScriptureDirect's written reviews are positive against 67% of OpenGreekNT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ScriptureDirect ships an update every 4 months, OpenGreekNT every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and July 21, 2026 respectively.
