# Bible Note vs Bible Shorts

Bible Note and Bible Shorts both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 66% of Bible Note's written reviews are positive against 22% of Bible Shorts's. Bible Note also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 3.7K) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.2). Bible Shorts's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and chart position (#3 vs #25). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Note sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Bible Shorts sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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 Note against 4.7 for Bible Shorts. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Note has 24K ratings behind it against 3.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of Bible Note's written reviews are positive against 22% of Bible Shorts's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
