Seraph vs Pray.com

Should you choose Seraph or Pray.com?

It depends. Choose Seraph if you want a quiet daily office on iPhone or the web, two free guided prayers, the King James Bible, free reading plans, and no account. Choose Pray.com when you need what this page says it does better. Those notes use that app's own pages. 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.

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 Pray.com, because Pray.com has earned it.

The short version

Choose Pray.com if you want a faith audio platform — daily and nightly prayers, bedtime Bible stories, celebrity-voiced readings, prayer plans, church communities, and prayer requests you can post and join. The download is free. The free tier is real: radio, daily prayer, podcasts, a text Bible, and communities, with ads. Premium is a large audio library, and they typically offer a 3-day trial of it before yearly auto-renew.

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.

Side by side

Pray.com prices and plan facts from their help center (including “Is Pray.com free?”, “Subscription Plans”, and “How does the Pray.com free trial work?”), the US App Store listing for Pray.com (id 1161035371), and a retrieve of pray.com/subscribe, all on September 2, 2026. We did not invent a headline annual price: they do not publish one dollar figure on the subscribe page HTML, and Apple does not label which IAP is monthly or yearly. Their audio library — James Earl Jones and Charlton Heston among the voices they name — is genuinely a different product than a quiet daily office, and worth knowing.

What Pray.com does better

Sheer audio and community. Bedtime Bible stories and sleep catalogs. Prayer plans with daily and nightly prayers. Church communities, prayer requests, and mobile giving. Android as well as iPhone. A family plan. A real free trial of the full library. If you want a faith-audio world you can share with a household, Pray.com is the honest recommendation.

What Seraph does differently

Restraint as a feature. No account between you and prayer. No ads on free or paid. The entire Bible free — not excerpts. A streak that forgives a missed day instead of shaming it. Two prices, written in plain numbers: $59.99 a year or $6.99 a month. And a privacy stance we've made contractual with our users: no prayer analytics, ever.

• Does Pray.com publish one price?

  No single list price. On September 2, 2026, the subscribe page HTML did not show one dollar figure, and the US App Store listing did not label which in-app purchase is monthly or yearly. That listing showed Premium at $1.99 and $7.99, No Ads at $14.99, and Pray Bible Experience at $49.99, $59.99, $69.99, and $109.99. The help center says billing is mainly annual, describes monthly as a US Verizon option, and says a typical trial is 3 days, then yearly auto-renew. No family dollar amount was on the US App Store list retrieved for this check.

• What does Seraph charge?

  Seraph+ is $59.99 a year or $6.99 a month. Those are two auto-renewable plans, monthly or annual. There is no free trial. The free tier is the trial. The daily office stays free. Web and iPhone subscriptions are separate purchases.

• Do the free tiers have ads or accounts?

  Pray.com's free tier includes a daily verse, Pray Radio, podcasts, a text Bible, and communities and prayer requests, with advertisements. An email account is required even to reach the free tier. The plans article marks advertisements yes for Free, Premium, and the Family plan. A separate Premium Subscription No Ads removes dynamic ads, not every embedded sponsor read. Seraph has no ads on free or paid, and no sign-up exists.

• Who should choose Seraph, and who should choose Pray.com?

  Choose Pray.com if you want a faith audio platform. That includes daily and nightly prayers, bedtime Bible stories, church communities, prayer requests, Android as well as iPhone and the web, and a family plan for up to 6. Choose Seraph for a quiet daily office, the whole King James Bible readable free, 2 guided sessions, no account, and no prayer analytics. Seraph is iPhone and web. Prayer data stays on the device.
