# iDisciple vs SparkBible

The clearest difference is ratings volume: iDisciple at 16K against SparkBible's 1.7K. iDisciple also leads on device support (3 vs 1). SparkBible's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 72%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDisciple sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SparkBible sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.8 for iDisciple against 4.8 for SparkBible. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDisciple has 16K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
