# Abide vs Bible

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Abide at none against Bible's 2. Abide also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 2) and chart position (#57 vs unranked). Bible's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Abide asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Abide against 5.0 for Bible. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Abide has 16K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Abide ships an update fortnightly, Bible every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
