# Scripture First vs God Focus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: God Focus at 100% against Scripture First's 33%. God Focus also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Scripture First's advantage is ratings volume (94 vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scripture First sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and God Focus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

God Focus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scripture First has 94 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Scripture First's written reviews are positive against 100% of God Focus's.

Scripture First ships an update every 5 days, God Focus every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
