# Waves vs Bible Study

Waves and Bible Study both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Bible Study's written reviews are positive against 60% of Waves's. Bible Study also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 264) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Waves sells 6 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 — 4.8 for Waves against 4.9 for Bible Study. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Study has 32K ratings behind it against 264, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Waves's written reviews are positive against 90% of Bible Study's.

Waves ships an update every 2 months, Bible Study every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
