Landscape · Business model × publisher

Who publishes the product, and how it is paid for

Who publishes each product, and how it says it is paid for. 15 of the 18 subscription products come from commercial companies; 58 free or donation-funded products come from churches, Bible societies and ministries. The business model sets which growth and subscription practices are even on the table.

A selected landscape, not market share. Placements rest on provider claims in App Store listings and on provider pages, checked 8 November 2026; coverage leans on the US App Store. Logos identify products and imply no endorsement. How to read the landscape

Model is what the listing or provider page states: price, in-app purchases (including subscriptions), ads, donations. Free with a subscription in-app purchase counts as freemium when a free core is stated and as subscription when the text leads with a trial or premium. Publisher type follows the seller name and about page; nonprofit status is a provider statement.

Why this view: our core question is when proven attention, growth and subscription practices fit and when they cross a line. The answer depends partly on who carries the cost of the product and who it has to satisfy. This chart shows where those pressures sit in the selection; it does not judge any product.
