The best free prayer apps
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Muslim Pro is the most downloaded prayer app in the world, and it earns that reach by covering the whole daily routine. Prayer times adjust to your location, Athan alerts sound for each prayer, and the Qibla finder helps when you travel. Around those tools sit a Quran reader with audio, a fasting tracker with streaks, and a finder for halal restaurants and prayer spaces.
The free tier covers all of that, but it shows ads, and offline Quran reading needs Premium, listed at $12.99 per month or $34.99 per year in the United States. If you want one app for everything and can live with ads, Muslim Pro is the obvious first install. If ads bother you, the free apps below do the prayer job without them.
What we like- Location-based prayer times and Athan alerts
- Qibla finder
- Quran reader, fasting tracker, and halal finder
Watch out for- Free tier shows ads
- Offline Quran and audio need Premium at $12.99 per month or $34.99 per year

Pillars takes a different approach. Instead of packing in every feature, it focuses on the habit itself: a clean view of the five prayers, a tracker for each one, streaks that reward consistency, and widgets that show the next prayer on your home screen. For users whose main struggle is keeping up day after day, that focus works better than a crowded all-rounder.
The trade-off is depth. Quran reading and study tools are thinner here than in Muslim Pro or Quran Majeed, and some extras need in-app purchases, with prices listed as "See website" here since they vary by platform. If your goal is simply to pray on time, every time, Pillars is the most motivating free app in this list.
What we like- Clean daily prayer view
- Streaks and widgets
- Prayer tracking that encourages consistency
Watch out for- Quran and study tools are thinner than Muslim Pro
- Some extras sit behind in-app purchases

Free planYes
IslamicFinder has published prayer times on the web for years, and its Athan app carries that same data to your phone. You get location-based times, a choice of calculation methods for your school and region, a Hijri calendar, and Qibla direction, all free. Because many mosques and sites use IslamicFinder data, its times are easy to cross-check against your local mosque.
The app itself is plain next to Pillars or Muslim Pro, with fewer streaks and habit tools. It is best seen as a reliable time source rather than a daily companion. For users who care most that the times match their local mosque, Athan by IslamicFinder is a solid, free anchor.
What we like- Trusted prayer time source used by many sites
- Many calculation methods
- Hijri calendar and Qibla tools
Watch out for- App experience is simpler than rivals
- Fewer habit features
- Some tools need an account
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Quran Majeed pairs prayer tools with one of the deepest Quran libraries on mobile. Prayer times and Athan alerts sit beside translations, tafsirs, dozens of reciters, and a zakat calculator, so one install covers both practice and study. It has been in stores since 2010, and that long history shows in content depth.
The cost is a busy interface and an ad-supported free tier, with Premium varying by plan and region, about $29.99 per year in guides. New users may need a day to learn the menus. For readers who want prayer times and serious Quran study together, it is the strongest combined free option after Muslim Pro.
What we like- Prayer times, Athan alerts, and Qibla compass
- Deep Quran, tafsir, and reciter library
- Zakat calculator
Watch out for- Free tier shows ads
- Premium pricing varies, about $29.99 per year in guides
- Interface is busy

Muslimeen promises what many free apps do not: everything free, with no ads at all. Prayer times, Athan alerts with a choice of muezzin voices, a prayer tracker, a Quran reader with translation, a tasbih counter, and the 99 Names of Allah all come without a paywall. For users tired of ad-supported free tiers, that alone earns it a place.
The caution is scale. Its user base is smaller than Muslim Pro, and its website field here is its store listing, since no standalone official site was confirmed, so treat that as a link-pass item. If the app covers your city accurately, it is the best value all-rounder here, since free truly means free.
What we like- Completely free with no ads
- Prayer times, Athan, and tracker
- Quran reader, tasbih, and 99 Names
Watch out for- Store listing is the website field here, so check it at install
- Smaller user base than Muslim Pro
- Fewer widgets

Azkar Muslim
Best for: Prayer times plus daily adhkar
Visit azkar.me
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Azkar Muslim is built around daily remembrance. It offers about 300 sourced adhkar and duas in 28 sections, with a smart counter and reminders, beside the full Quran stored on your device for offline reading. Prayer times come with full Athan alerts, a choice of muezzin, a countdown to the next prayer, and many calculation methods including Umm al-Qura and the Egyptian Authority.
That depth suits users who keep morning and evening adhkar daily. Casual users who only want times may find the extra sections more than they need, though nothing forces you to open them. For a free app that pairs prayer times with authentic adhkar and offline Quran, Azkar Muslim is unusually complete.
What we like- Morning and evening adhkar from Hisnul Muslim
- Full Quran offline
- Prayer times with full Athan and many methods
Watch out for- Focus on adhkar may be more than casual users want
- Hadith library is a bonus, not a study tool

DeenHub stands out for one idea: mosque times checked by the community. Users can submit and verify real mosque prayer times, which helps when an app calculation differs from your local mosque. Around that sit a full Quran reader, verse repetition, Hadith search, a zakat calculator, and Hajj and Umrah guides, all ad-free.
It is a newer app than Muslim Pro, so its community base is still growing, and some features are still maturing. Guides list a paid tier near $4.99, with core features free. For users whose mosque times differ from calculated times, the community verification is a genuine reason to try it.
What we like- Community-verified mosque prayer times
- Verse repetition
- Hadith search
- Zakat calculator
- Ad-free
Watch out for- Newer app with a smaller base
- Some features still growing
- Paid tier near $4.99 in guides

Al-Adhan is the purest free option in this list. It is completely free, with no ads, no fees, and no subscriptions, and its makers state that your data never leaves your device. You get a prayer calendar for the next thirteen months, widgets and lock screen countdowns, Apple Watch support, a Hijri calendar with adjustable offset, authenticated adhkar, a tasbih counter, and learning guides for new Muslims.
The trade-off is scope: no Quran reader to rival Quran Majeed, no community features. Its website field here is its App Store listing, since no standalone official site was confirmed, so treat that as a link-pass item. For users who want accurate times, privacy, and zero cost, Al-Adhan is the best pick here.
What we like- Completely free with no ads, fees, or subscriptions
- Data never leaves your device
- Widgets and Apple Watch support
Watch out for- Store listing is the website field here, so check it at install
- Smaller feature set than all-rounders
How we chose
We started from what a prayer app must do well: show accurate times for your location, offer the calculation method your mosque uses, alert reliably, and point to Qibla. We compared vendor pages, store listings, and current 2026 guides, and we favored apps that cover the five prayers free and state their limits plainly. We left out apps with no clear publisher and apps whose times could not be traced to a method. Prices here come from 2026 guides and store listings, and they change by country, so check the store listing before you pay. Prayer times vary by method and location, so compare any app against your local mosque timetable for a week before trusting it fully.
How to pick a free prayer app
Start with accuracy, not features. A beautiful app with the wrong calculation method will mislead you every day, while a plain app set to your mosque method will serve you well for years.
Match the method to your mosque
Open the app settings and pick the calculation method your local mosque uses, then compare the app times against the mosque timetable for a week. If they differ by more than a few minutes, try another method in the app before switching apps. Location matters too, so allow location access or set your city by hand, and check that travel updates work when you move.
Decide how much extra you want
For times alone, Al-Adhan or Pillars covers you free. For times plus Quran and study, Quran Majeed or Azkar Muslim adds depth at no cost. For times plus fasting, community, and lifestyle tools, Muslim Pro covers the most ground, with ads on the free tier. Pick the smallest app that covers your real routine, since a crowded app you never open helps less than a simple one you check daily.
Protect your privacy
Free apps vary in what they collect. Al-Adhan states that data stays on your device, while larger free apps may use data for ads. If privacy matters to you, read the privacy policy before installing, and prefer apps with no ads and no account requirement for basic times. A prayer app should not need your contacts or photos to tell you when Maghrib begins.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best completely free prayer app?
Al-Adhan, because it is free with no ads, fees, or subscriptions, and your data stays on your device. Muslimeen is the best free all-rounder if you also want a Quran reader and tasbih without ads.
Are prayer times in apps accurate?
They are accurate when the calculation method and location match your mosque. Methods differ by school and region, so compare the app against your mosque timetable for a week and adjust the method setting if times differ.
Which prayer app is best for building a habit?
Pillars, because it focuses on streaks, widgets, and a clean daily view of the five prayers. Muslim Pro also tracks prayers and fasting, with more features around that tracker.
Do free prayer apps include the Quran?
Several do. Muslim Pro, Quran Majeed, Muslimeen, and Azkar Muslim all include a Quran reader free, with audio and translations. Al-Adhan and Pillars focus on prayer tools rather than Quran study.
Can I use a prayer app while traveling?
Yes. Most apps here update times and Qibla direction from your location automatically. Download offline content where offered, and check the method setting when you cross into a region that uses a different calculation method.
