# Bloom vs Echo Bible

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Echo Bible at 13 against Bloom's 1. Echo Bible also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bloom sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Echo Bible sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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 — 5.0 for Bloom against 5.0 for Echo Bible. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo Bible has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Bloom ships an update every 2 weeks, Echo Bible every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
