# Bible Time vs Bible Lock

Bible Time and Bible Lock both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Bible Time's written reviews are positive against 53% of Bible Lock's. Bible Lock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (341 vs 42). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Time sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Bible Lock sells 9 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 — 4.8 for Bible Time against 4.7 for Bible Lock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Lock has 341 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Bible Time's written reviews are positive against 53% of Bible Lock's.

Bible Time ships an update every 8 days, Bible Lock every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
