Privacy vs Other Apps
How we compare to the major Islamic apps
Below is a head-to-head against the six apps most users compare us to. Every claim is drawn from each vendor's public App Store / Google Play privacy label, their published changelogs and pricing pages, or — where indicated — well-documented news reporting. We update this list as vendors change their practices.
| App | Engine | Ads / Account | Data history (public) | Languages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prayer Times Info | 100% on-device (self-hosted adhan.js) | No ads, no account | "Data Not Collected" on App Store label | 17, full parity |
| Muslim Pro (Bitsmedia) | Server-assisted API | Ads in free tier; "Premium" paid upgrade | Reported by Vice (Nov 2020) to have shared location data via the X-Mode SDK; SDK has since been removed per the vendor | ~15 |
| Athan Pro (Quanticapps) | Server-assisted API | Ads in free tier; "Pro" paid upgrade | Privacy label declares "Identifiers" and "Usage Data" linked to user | ~12 |
| Pillars | Server-assisted API | No ads; paid subscription for full features | Privacy label declares minimal tracking, but requires account for habit tracking | ~6 |
| Salaat First | Server-assisted API | Ads in free tier; paid removal | Named in the same 2020 Vice report regarding the X-Mode SDK; vendor states the SDK was removed | ~9 |
| IslamicFinder (Crescent Tools) | Server-side calculation (their own API) | Ads on web and mobile | Privacy label declares advertising identifiers and analytics | ~10 |
| Muslim Salat Times (VRINSOFT) | Server-assisted API | Ads in free tier | Privacy label declares "Identifiers" linked to user for advertising | ~8 |

Platform footprint (June 2026): Prayer Times Info is available on Web, iOS, Android, Apple Watch, and Amazon Fire TV — with the same "Data Not Collected" privacy label on every store, including the Amazon Appstore. Most listed competitors ship iOS and Android builds only, with no Fire TV presence.
