# Bloom vs His Words

The clearest difference is ads: Bloom at none against His Words's shown. His Words's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment 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 His Words sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. 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 His Words. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: His Words has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Bloom ships an update every 2 weeks, His Words every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
