Seraph vs Hallow
Two apps that take daily prayer seriously, built on different convictions. This page is written by the maker of Seraph — read it knowing that — and it will be generous to Hallow, because Hallow has earned it.
Our bias, declared: we make Seraph. The linked Hallow sources support the specific prices, access rules, and library features identified below; this is not an independent review of either app. Our product details describe Seraph’s current published offering; if we've got something wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.
The main difference
Consider Hallow for a Catholic audio library and seasonal community challenges. Its free library includes the daily rosary, daily gospel, and Bible in a Year; additional sleep, music, and challenge content comes with a subscription.
Choose Seraph if you want something quieter: one flame kept daily, the whole King James Bible readable free, guided prayer paced by breath — and a hard privacy line: no account to create, no ads, and a public vow of no prayer analytics. Your prayer life stays on your device.

What Hallow does better
Hallow’s paid library includes sleep sessions, music, audiobooks, and seasonal community challenges. It also offers a Friends & Family plan. Individual subscriptions include a trial; the family plan does not. For readers seeking those formats and community features, Hallow is worth considering.
What Seraph does differently
Restraint as a feature. No account between you and prayer. The entire Bible free — not excerpts. A streak that forgives a missed day instead of shaming it. And a privacy stance we've made contractual with our users: no prayer analytics, ever. Compare the plan and features that fit your use, rather than assuming one worldwide price difference.
