# Bible Widget vs Haven

Bible Widget and Haven both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Bible Widget's written reviews are positive against 46% of Haven's. Bible Widget also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Haven's advantage is ratings volume (149K vs 27K) and chart position (#8 vs #57). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Widget sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Haven sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Bible Widget against 4.9 for Haven. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Haven has 149K ratings behind it against 27K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Bible Widget's written reviews are positive against 46% of Haven's.

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