# Quran Screen vs ReadFirst

The clearest difference is rating: Quran Screen at 4.8 against ReadFirst's 4.0. Quran Screen also leads on ratings volume (93 vs 1). ReadFirst's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quran Screen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and ReadFirst sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quran Screen holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quran Screen has 93 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Quran Screen ships an update weekly, ReadFirst daily. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
