Learn Koine Greek, Biblical Hebrew, & Latin Learn the biblical languages with Biblingo - the only language-learning app that provides everything you need to go from zero knowledge of Koine Greek (New Testament), Biblical Hebrew (Hebrew Bible), and Latin (Vulgate) to reading the Bible in its historic languages — all in one place.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Biblical Languages at none against Drops's shown. Biblical Languages also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (72K vs 85). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Biblical Languages sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Drops holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3.

Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 67% of Biblical Languages's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Drops ships an update weekly, Biblical Languages every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
