Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bloom at none against Qara Prayer's shown. Bloom also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). Qara Prayer's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Qara Prayer ships an update every 5 months, Bloom every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
