# Bible Chat vs Bible Widget

The clearest difference is chart position: Bible Chat at #2 against Bible Widget's #55. Bible Chat also leads on ratings volume (363K vs 27K) and device support (3 vs 1). Bible Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Chat sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Bible Widget sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bible Chat against 4.8 for Bible Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Chat has 363K ratings behind it against 27K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Bible Chat's written reviews are positive against 85% of Bible Widget's.

Bible Chat ships an update every 5 days, Bible Widget every 2 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
