How we make this list: we compare pricing pages, product documentation and public user reviews. Ratings come from G2, Capterra or Trustpilot, with the date we checked them.
Key takeaways
- Quran.com is the best free starting point, with an ad-free reader, many translations, and word-by-word study at no cost.
- Tarteel AI is the strongest pick for memorization, because it listens to your recitation and flags mistakes in real time.
- Muslim Pro suits readers who also want prayer times, a Qibla compass, and fasting tools in one app.
- Quran Majeed is the long-running all-rounder, with tafsir, translations, and a large reciter library.
- Translation choice matters more than feature count, since translations differ in wording and interpretation, so compare two before settling.

The best Quran apps
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Quran.com is the cleanest free way to read the Quran on a phone or a computer. The reader shows Arabic text beside the translation you pick, and tapping a word shows its meaning, which helps readers who are still learning Arabic. Dozens of translations are available, and the site and app stay free and ad-free, supported by donations rather than subscriptions.
The trade-off is scope. Quran.com does one job, reading and study, and it does it well. It does not track prayer times, point to Qibla, or listen to your recitation. Readers who want those tools will need a second app. For pure reading, though, nothing here beats it on price or clarity, and it is the safest first download for a new reader.
What we like- Ad-free reader
- Many translations and tafsirs
- Word-by-word breakdown
- Audio from many reciters
Watch out for- No prayer times or Qibla tools
- No AI recitation feedback
- Account needed for some sync features

Muslim Pro is the app for people who want their whole daily practice in one place. Prayer times adjust to your location, Athan alerts remind you of each prayer, and the Qibla compass helps when you travel. The Quran reader sits beside those tools, with audio recitation and several translations, plus a fasting tracker and a dua library.
The free tier covers the basics but shows ads, and offline Quran reading and audio need the Premium plan. Guides list Premium at about $12.99 per month or $34.99 per year in the United States, with prices varying by country. If you only want to read, Quran.com is lighter and free. If you want prayer tools and reading together, Muslim Pro earns its place despite the ads.
What we like- Prayer times, Athan alerts, and Qibla compass
- Quran reader with audio
- Halal restaurant and mosque finder
Watch out for- Free tier shows ads
- Full offline access needs Premium
- Premium costs about $12.99 per month or $34.99 per year

Quran Majeed is the veteran of this list, in stores since 2010, and it shows in the depth of its library. Translations and tafsir collections are wide, reciters number in the dozens, and the app adds prayer times, a Qibla compass, and a zakat calculator. Readers who want one app for study and daily tools will find little missing here.
The cost is the ad-supported free tier, and Premium pricing that varies by plan and region, with guides listing about $29.99 per year and a lifetime option near $49.99. The interface also carries more menus than the simpler apps here, so new readers may take a day to settle in. For depth of content at a low price, it remains a strong pick.
What we like- Running since 2010
- Many translations and tafsirs
- Large reciter library
- Prayer times and Qibla included
Watch out for- Free tier shows ads
- Premium pricing varies by plan, about $29.99 per year
- Some features sit behind in-app purchases

Tarteel AI is the only app here built around memorization. Open the app, recite aloud, and it follows along in the text, marking where you stumble and tracking which verses you have memorized. For hifz students, that live feedback replaces the need to record yourself and compare later, and it keeps a clear record of progress across surahs.
The free tier covers basic practice, but the fuller experience sits behind Premium, with guides listing about $12.99 to $19.99 per month or $99 to $239.99 per year depending on plan. It also cannot replace a teacher, since it checks pronunciation against a model and may miss subtle tajweed points. Used beside a teacher, it is the best memorization aid in this list.
What we like- Listens to your recitation and flags mistakes live
- Tracks memorized verses
- Works for hifz students of all levels
Watch out for- Full features need Premium, about $12.99 to $19.99 per month
- Recitation feedback needs a quiet room and a decent microphone

Ayat comes from King Saud University and is built for serious study. It pairs the Arabic text with eight classical tafsirs and scanned images of printed mushaf pages, so readers can check the text against a familiar printed edition. It is fully free, with no ads and no paid tier, which makes it the best value study tool here.
The design is plain and academic, and it lacks the daily tools of Muslim Pro or Quran Majeed. Translation coverage is also narrower than Quran.com, with about 20 languages in guides. Readers who study tafsir in depth will not mind the plain look. Readers who want a pretty daily companion should look elsewhere.
What we like- Free with no ads
- Eight classical tafsirs
- Authentic scanned mushaf pages
- Memorization tools included
Watch out for- Interface looks dated
- No prayer times
- Translation list is narrower than Quran.com

Al Quran, by Greentech Apps, is the pick for readers who want to understand each word. Tapping a word shows its translation and root, and the tafsir view sits close by, so study stays in one screen. Offline reading works well, which suits travelers and readers with patchy connections.
The density that helps study can tire casual readers, and the reciter library is smaller than Quran Majeed or Muslim Pro. Some advanced tools sit behind a paid upgrade, though core reading stays free. For learners building Arabic vocabulary verse by verse, it is the most focused tool here.
What we like- Word-by-word translation and grammar notes
- Tafsir included
- Works offline
- No ads in guides
Watch out for- Smaller reciter library
- Interface is dense for casual reading
- Some advanced tools need a paid upgrade

Quran for Android is the minimalist of the group. It shows the Arabic text and your chosen translation in a clean page, downloads content for offline reading, and carries no ads and no paid tier. Because it is open source, its code and content choices are public, which some readers value.
It does not try to do more. There are no prayer times, no tafsir library to rival Ayat, and no recitation feedback. Downloading translations and audio takes storage and a few extra steps at first setup. Readers who want a quiet, free, offline mushaf with nothing extra will like it exactly for that restraint.
What we like- Free and ad-free
- Clean reading view
- Downloads for offline use
- Open source project
Watch out for- No prayer times or study extras
- Translation downloads take storage
- Setup takes a few more steps than rivals

Quran Companion is built for readers who start strong and then drift. It sets a daily reading plan, tracks streaks, and schedules revision of verses you have memorized, using spaced repetition so old verses return before you forget them. The interface stays simple, which helps the habit stick.
It is not a study tool on the level of Ayat or Al Quran, and its recitation feedback is basic beside Tarteel AI. Some plans sit behind Premium, though core reading and habit tracking stay free. For readers whose main problem is consistency rather than content, it is the best fit here.
What we like- Daily reading plans and streaks
- Spaced revision for memorized verses
- Gentle reminders
- Simple interface
Watch out for- Smaller translation and reciter library
- Memorization feedback is basic next to Tarteel
- Some plans need Premium
How we chose
We started from what a Quran app must do well: show accurate Arabic text, offer trusted translations, work offline, and stay maintained. We compared vendor pages, current 2026 guides, and published feature lists, and we favored apps that are free or fairly priced and honest about their limits. We left out apps with no clear publisher, apps that only bundle the Quran inside a wider product, and apps whose text sources could not be traced. Prices here come from 2026 guides and store listings, and they change by country and plan, so check the store listing before you pay. Translations differ in wording and interpretation, so we note where a second translation helps.
How to pick a Quran app
Start with your goal, not the app store ranking. A reader, a student, and a memorizer need different apps, and the best app for one job can be a poor fit for another. Write down what you will actually do each day, then match the app to that routine.
Match the app to your routine
For daily reading, pick Quran.com or Quran for Android and keep it simple. For study, add Ayat for tafsir or Al Quran for word-by-word work. For memorization, make Tarteel AI your practice app and keep a teacher in the loop for tajweed. For a full daily companion with prayer times and fasting tools, Muslim Pro or Quran Majeed covers the most ground in one install.
Check the translation before you commit
Translations of the Quran differ in wording, and some differ in interpretation on sensitive passages. Read the same surah in two translations inside the app before you settle, and check which translator the app uses. If you read Arabic, compare the translation against the Arabic text for a few verses. A good app names its translators clearly, and a careful reader checks them.
Keep the habit realistic
Set a small daily portion, such as one page or ten verses, and use the app reminder at a fixed time, after Fajr or before sleep. A streak feature helps, but a missed day is not a failure, so restart the next day rather than quitting. Download offline content on Wi-Fi before travel, and keep a second app only if it serves a different job, since three half-used apps help less than one used daily.
Frequently asked questions
Which Quran app is best overall?
Quran.com, because it is free, ad-free, and covers reading and study with many translations and word-by-word help. Add Tarteel AI for memorization or Muslim Pro for prayer tools if you need those jobs too.
Are Quran apps free?
Mostly yes. Quran.com, Ayat, and Quran for Android are fully free. Muslim Pro, Quran Majeed, and Tarteel AI offer free tiers with ads or limits, and paid plans for offline access and full features. Prices vary by country, so check the store listing.
Which app is best for memorizing the Quran?
Tarteel AI, because it listens to your recitation and flags mistakes in real time while tracking memorized verses. It works best beside a qualified teacher, who can catch tajweed points an app may miss.
Do Quran apps work offline?
Yes, most do after a download. Quran.com, Quran Majeed, Ayat, Al Quran, and Quran for Android all offer offline reading, and several offer offline audio. Download translations and recitations on Wi-Fi before you travel.
Can I trust the translations in these apps?
Translations differ, and no single translation captures every nuance of the Arabic text. Compare two translations on passages that matter to you, check the named translator, and consult a scholar or teacher for legal or doctrinal questions. Treat app text as a study aid, not a final authority.
