# Haven vs Bible Study

Haven and Bible Study both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Bible Study's written reviews are positive against 47% of Haven's. Bible Study also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Haven's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#9 vs #69). 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 Study sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 — 4.9 for Haven against 4.9 for Bible Study. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 150K and 32K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Haven's written reviews are positive against 90% of Bible Study's.

Haven ships an update every 2 days, Bible Study every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
