# Simply Nur vs Sabeel

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sabeel at none against Simply Nur's 3. Sabeel also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). Simply Nur's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simply Nur sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Sabeel asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Simply Nur against 5.0 for Sabeel. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simply Nur has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Simply Nur ships an update every 10 days, Sabeel every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
