# Bible Study vs Scriptur

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bible Study at 30K against Scriptur's 5. Bible Study also leads on chart position (#76 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Scriptur's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Study sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Scriptur sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 Bible Study against 4.8 for Scriptur. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Study has 30K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Bible Study's written reviews are positive against 100% of Scriptur's.

Bible Study ships an update every 2 weeks, Scriptur monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
