Quran Habit vs Quran.com

The table above, rather than a slogan. Against Quran.com it gives Quran Habit six of the sixteen rows: Word-by-word meaning, Tajweed colouring, Reading streak, Khatm plan, League or leaderboard and Works offline. Under all of them sits one reading surface: 604 Madani pages as page images, IndoPak at 610, Naskh at 612. On the mushaf itself the two apps are close, so the rows that separate them are the habit rows and nothing else.

Because 604 pages spread over a year is under two pages a day, and the same 604 pages in one weekend is not something anyone repeats the weekend after. A daily reading habit is arithmetic before it is anything else: a small number you keep finishes the mushaf, a large number you admire does not. Quran.com's own materials mention no streak at all, so the table leaves that row unclaimed.

Four things, all of them rows in the table above. Streaks built to survive a bad day rather than punish one. Dated khatm plans, including the seasonal ones. 33 weekly reading leagues. And word-by-word meaning while you read, with 11 of the 40 reciters carrying word-level timing. No khatm plan appears in Quran.com's materials, which is why that row sits on our side of the table.

You are placed in a weekly group of readers, the group is ranked by what you read that week, the readers at the top move up a league, and everyone starts fresh on Monday. There are 33 leagues in all, with a streak table and a friends table beside them. Quran.com's materials state no ranked league, so this is one of the rows that separates the two apps.

43 translation languages in the app, an interface in 13, and word-by-word meaning in 14 languages, with per-word audio. Arabic, Persian and Urdu are laid out right to left rather than reversed. This website carries the same text free, with no account and nothing to sign up for. Word-by-word meaning is not something Quran.com's materials claim, so that row is ours in the table above.

Quran Habit states it in both of its own store listings, which is the only reason the table above ticks that row: the full Quran offline in four scripts, with offline audio for any reciter kept on the device by surah or in full, and the page-image mushafs downloaded when you want them. qht.app/getapp leads to Quran Habit on Google Play and the App Store, and those two listings are where that row is read from. Quran.com's materials state nothing about offline scope, so the table records their silence as silence and gives the row to us on ours.

Nothing that identifies you. There is no analytics, no advertising and no tracker on any page of this site, the Privacy link at the foot of this page is the policy that says so in full, and what you read here stays in your browser. The app has its own policy, linked from its store listing. Quran.com states no advertising either, so on this one neither app is asking anything of you.

Nothing is sold on this website. Reading the whole Quran here is free and needs no account, and in the app the text and the word-by-word are never put behind a paywall, in Ramadan or in any other month. The app has a paid tier, and what it covers is conveniences around the reading rather than the reading. Theirs is free with nothing to buy at all, which is a stronger position than ours and the table says so.

One of the sixteen: Source code public. Their code is public and ours is not, they are a nonprofit taking donations, and neither of those is a row we can win later. The rows they state and we do not are argued above the table rather than under it, which is the order this page keeps on purpose. If open code is not what you are choosing on, the rows that go the other way are streaks, dated khatm plans, the weekly leagues, word-by-word meaning, tajweed colouring and the offline line, none of which their materials state. The page-accurate mushaf row belongs to both apps, so this is an argument about what sits under the page rather than about the page itself. qht.app/getapp leads to Quran Habit on Google Play and the App Store.

Six rows, stated by both sides: Quran text free, No adverts, Page-accurate mushaf, More than one script, Word-level audio and iPhone app. That is most of the reading, which is why this page argues habit rather than text. Reading is free in Quran.com as well, and the table above says so.
