Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Begin at 4.4 against SermonFlow's 4.0. Begin also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Begin sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and SermonFlow sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Begin holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Begin has 24 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.
Begin ships an update every 2 weeks, SermonFlow every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
