# Bible Mode vs Prayer Lock

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bible Mode at 13K against Prayer Lock's 2. Bible Mode also leads on chart position (#151 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible Mode sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Prayer Lock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 — 4.9 for Bible Mode against 5.0 for Prayer Lock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Mode has 13K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
