# Orthodox Bible vs Fathers

The clearest difference is price: Orthodox Bible at Free against Fathers's $2.99. Orthodox Bible also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 2). Fathers's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, chart position, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Orthodox Bible is free to download; Fathers costs $2.99 up front. Orthodox Bible sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Fathers asks for nothing beyond the download.

Fathers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orthodox Bible has 13K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
