Do you need an Al Quran by Greentech alternative?

Published by the makers of Quran Habit. Al Quran (Tafsir & by Word) is a genuinely good app for the right person, and this page says who that is before it says anything else.

The short answer

On word-by-word study, no. Their materials claim word-by-word translation in "15+ languages" with root and lemma, grammar, morphology, occurrences and verb forms for each word. Quran Habit has word-by-word meanings in 14 languages and none of that grammatical apparatus. They are also completely free, carry no ads by their own claim, and state that "All features can be used offline". On that job they are ahead of us and we are not going to argue about it.

What Quran Habit is

A Quran app and website built around the part people actually struggle with, which is coming back tomorrow. Free to use, with an optional paid tier in the app, nothing at all sold on this website, and no advertising anywhere.

  • The mushaf you know. All 604 Madani pages as page-accurate images, plus IndoPak at 610 and Naskh at 612.
  • 43 translation languages, an app interface in 13 languages and this website in 14, full right to left for Arabic, Persian and Urdu.
  • Word by word in 14 languages, with per-word audio.
  • 40 reciters, 11 with word-level timing that highlights each word as it is recited.
  • Tajweed colour script, 4 scripts in all.
  • Streaks that survive a bad day, khatm plans, 33 weekly reading leagues.
  • 84 Quranic duas and the 99 names, in the app and free on this website. Prayer times are on the website only; the app does not do them.

Where Quran Habit differs

  • The difference is what the page looks like while you read. Their mushaf mode aims at "the same experience when reciting from a hard-copy Mushaf" but names no printed edition and no line count. Quran Habit reads from real page images: all 604 pages of the Madani mushaf, plus IndoPak at 610 pages and Naskh at 612, so the page in your hand and the page on the screen break lines in the same place.
  • Both apps run a habit layer, and theirs is real: daily goals, streak badges and a 29 or 30-day Quran Planner. Ours is the thing the app is built around rather than a section of it, with 33 weekly leagues and streaks designed to survive a missed day. That is a difference of emphasis, not of capability.

Where Al Quran by Greentech beats us

On word by word, which is the thing most people come to this app for. Their materials claim word-by-word translation in 15+ languages against our 14, and they carry root and lemma, grammar, morphology, occurrences and verb forms for each word, none of which Quran Habit offers. They are also free with no ads, work fully offline, and run a khatmah planner, streak badges and daily goals of their own. If word-level meaning is your main reason for installing anything, install theirs.

Stay with Al Quran (Tafsir & by Word) if

You want deep meaning study: word-by-word, grammar and tafsir across dozens of languages, free and offline. On that job, Al Quran (Tafsir & by Word) is the better fit.

How we compared

Every Al Quran (Tafsir & by Word) fact here was read from Al Quran (Tafsir & by Word)'s own published materials on 7 September 2026, and every document is listed below with the date we opened it, so you can check any line on this page yourself. The reasons people switch, where this page lists any, come only from those materials. Where their materials do not state something, this page says so rather than guessing, and silence in their materials is reported as silence, not as a missing feature.

When a source stops resolving, the claim that rested on it comes off the page rather than living on because it was true once. That has already cost this page a few lines, which is the point of doing it.

No store ratings, no download counts, and no religious judgement about any app. We make one of these two, which is exactly why this page tells you plainly where Al Quran by Greentech is ahead of us and when you should stay where you are.

If something here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
