# TLV Bible vs Seed Scroll

The clearest difference is ads: Seed Scroll at none against TLV Bible's shown. Seed Scroll also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). TLV Bible's advantage is ratings volume (164 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TLV Bible sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Seed Scroll sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Seed Scroll holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TLV Bible has 164 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of TLV Bible's written reviews are positive against 100% of Seed Scroll's.

TLV Bible ships an update every 2 months, Seed Scroll every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
