The clearest difference is rating: Bahá'í Prayers at 4.9 against iDhammapada's 4.2.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bahá'í Prayers holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bahá'í Prayers has 2.6K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Bahá'í Prayers's written reviews are positive against 100% of iDhammapada's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bahá'í Prayers ships an update every 4 months, iDhammapada every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
