# Taqwa vs Sadd

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sadd at 100% against Taqwa's 0%. Sadd also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Taqwa's advantage is ratings volume (45 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Taqwa sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Sadd sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sadd holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Taqwa has 45 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Taqwa's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sadd's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
