# Kiwix vs FivePrayer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kiwix at none against FivePrayer's 13. Kiwix also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#40 vs #163). FivePrayer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FivePrayer sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Kiwix asks for nothing beyond the download.

FivePrayer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePrayer has 15K ratings behind it against 431, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Kiwix's written reviews are positive against 90% of FivePrayer's.

Kiwix ships an update every 2 months, FivePrayer weekly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
