Compare

Which prayer app should you compare with Seraph?

It depends. These notes suit someone choosing among prayer apps, and each essay says when the other app is the better fit. Seraph itself suits a quiet daily office on iPhone or the web, with two free guided prayers, the King James Bible, free reading plans, and no account. It does not suit someone who needs a native Android app, the Catholic Mass, or a group prayer feed. Seraph+ is $59.99 a year, save 28% vs monthly, or $6.99 a month. The daily office stays free.

Seraph Prayer is a daily prayer and Scripture app for iPhone and the web. It keeps a short office on the device: two free guided prayers, the King James Bible, and reading plans. There is no account to create, no ads, and no prayer analytics. Optional Seraph+ opens the remaining guided prayers and Sacred Seasons, including Advent and Lent.

As of October 19, 2026, the public US App Store listing for Seraph Daily Prayer (id 6799218023) shows Seraph+ Annual at $59.99 and Seraph+ Monthly at $6.99. Pricing lists the same two prices for the web. Web and iPhone subscriptions are separate purchases.
