# Bible Chat® vs Bible Mode

Bible Chat® and Bible Mode both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Bible Mode's written reviews are positive against 79% of Bible Chat®'s. Bible Mode also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1.2K) and chart position (#158 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Chat® sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Bible Mode sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bible Mode holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Mode has 13K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Bible Chat®'s written reviews are positive against 95% of Bible Mode's.

Bible Chat® ships an update every 9 days, Bible Mode every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
