# ScriptureWriter vs Bible Touch

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScriptureWriter at none against Bible Touch's 1. ScriptureWriter also leads on ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. Bible Touch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ScriptureWriter asks for nothing beyond the download.

ScriptureWriter ships an update fortnightly, Bible Touch every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
