# Heavenly Prayers vs Candle

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Heavenly Prayers at none against Candle's 10. Heavenly Prayers also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Candle's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candle sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Heavenly Prayers asks for nothing beyond the download.

Heavenly Prayers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Candle has 12K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Heavenly Prayers's written reviews are positive against 68% of Candle's.

Heavenly Prayers ships an update every 15 months, Candle fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
