# Haven vs Bible Chat

Haven and Bible Chat both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Bible Chat's written reviews are positive against 47% of Haven's. Bible Chat also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Haven's advantage is ratings volume (150K vs 1.5K) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Haven sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Bible Chat sells 3 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 Haven against 4.7 for Bible Chat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Haven has 150K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Haven's written reviews are positive against 90% of Bible Chat's.

Haven ships an update every 2 days, Bible Chat weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
