# Holy Version Bible App vs Scripture Scanner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scripture Scanner at 83% against Holy Version Bible App's 35%. Scripture Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Holy Version Bible App's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 12) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Holy Version Bible App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Scripture Scanner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Holy Version Bible App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Holy Version Bible App has 1.7K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Holy Version Bible App's written reviews are positive against 83% of Scripture Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Holy Version Bible App ships an update every 4 weeks, Scripture Scanner every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
