# Orthodox Bible vs Revised Common Lectionary

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Revised Common Lectionary at none against Orthodox Bible's 14. Revised Common Lectionary also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Orthodox Bible's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 5) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orthodox Bible sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Revised Common Lectionary asks for nothing beyond the download.

Revised Common Lectionary 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 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Orthodox Bible's written reviews are positive against 100% of Revised Common Lectionary's.

Orthodox Bible ships an update every 10 days, Revised Common Lectionary every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
