A disclosure to start: we make Still, a Christian sleep and prayer app, so Glorify is a competitor of ours. Most Glorify reviews you’ll find are written by affiliates who earn a commission on subscriptions. Ours is written from the opposite incentive, and Glorify makes fairness easy, because a lot of it is very good, especially the free version.
Verdict in one paragraph: Glorify is the best-built morning devotional app in the category, and it has the most generous free tier of any paid app here. Its signature is a short daily flow that moves you through scripture, guided prayer, and worship music in about ten minutes, a lovely way to start the day. Glorify Plus runs roughly $6.99 a month, with an annual plan around $50. Where it’s thin is the other end of the day: evening prayer, sleep content, and intercessory prayer aren’t its focus. If you want a morning rhythm, Glorify is excellent. If you want to pray yourself to sleep, a sleep-first app fits better.
What Glorify is
Glorify is a daily devotional app organized around a morning routine. Open it and it hands you a short, guided flow: a passage of scripture, a few minutes of guided prayer, and a worship song to close, often with a gratitude-journaling prompt and mood-based verse suggestions woven in.
The idea is gentle consistency. Rather than dropping you into a huge library to browse, Glorify gives you one well-produced sequence a day and asks only ten minutes of you. For people building a habit, that low bar is the whole appeal.
Glorify is broadly Christian and non-denominational in tone, and it’s English only.
Is the Glorify app free?
Yes, and unusually so. Glorify’s free tier is one of the most generous among paid Christian apps. You get a real daily devotional, guided prayer, some worship content, and the core morning flow without paying anything, which is enough to build a genuine habit on.
The paid tier, Glorify Plus, unlocks the full library: the complete catalog of courses, meditations, extended worship music, and audio features. But unlike apps that hand you a paywall on day one, Glorify lets a free user get real value indefinitely.
How much does Glorify cost?
Glorify Plus runs about $6.99 a month, with a discounted annual plan around $50 a year (US pricing, July 2026). That puts it in the mid-range of the category, cheaper than Hallow at roughly $69.99 and Pray.com at about $99.99, and close to Abide at $39.99.
The honest note here is that Glorify’s free tier is good enough that many people never need Plus. Try the free version first and upgrade only if you run into its edges. Prices change, so confirm the current figure on your App Store listing before subscribing.
Where Glorify is excellent
The morning flow. The guided ten-minute sequence is beautifully produced and easy to keep up. As a way to start the day with God, it’s one of the best in the category.
The free tier. Few paid apps give away this much. If your budget is zero, Glorify alone can carry a daily devotional habit.
The worship music. Ending the flow on a song is a small touch that many users love, and the catalog is well curated.
Low friction. Short, structured, and undemanding. Glorify is easy to start and easy to stick with, which is exactly what a habit needs.
Where Glorify may not fit you
If you want evening or night prayer. Glorify is a morning app at heart. Its evening and bedtime content is thin, so praying yourself to sleep isn’t what it’s built for.
If you want to fall asleep to scripture. There’s no real sleep-stories library or wind-down structure here, and no gentle scripture alarm to wake you. Glorify covers the start of the day, not both bookends.
If you keep a prayer list. Glorify guides your own prayer rather than helping you organize intercession for others. For that, a prayer-list app is a better fit.
If you need German or another language. Glorify is English only.
Glorify alternatives worth knowing
A few honest pointers depending on why Glorify isn’t quite right:
- For a larger topical library: Abide offers thousands of situation-based meditations and a big sleep catalog.
- For Catholic prayer and liturgy: Hallow has the rosary, Bible in a Year, and the daily readings.
- For scripture read straight through: Dwell is an audio Bible with reading plans.
- For keeping a prayer list: PrayerMate and Echo are free and built for organized intercession. See the best Christian prayer apps roundup.
- For evening prayer and sleep: that’s our lane. Still pairs Bible sleep stories, sleep sounds, and evening prayers with a short daily devotional and a gentle scripture alarm, built around the tired end of the day. See Still vs Glorify or the best Christian sleep apps roundup.
Who should subscribe to Glorify
People who want a short, well-produced morning devotional and worship routine and will use the extended courses, meditations, and music that Plus unlocks. Anyone building a daily habit who wants the gentlest possible on-ramp.
Who should pick something else
Night-owl prayers and sleep-first users, who’ll get more from an app built for the evening. People who want a big topical library or a prayer list. German speakers, who need native content. And, honestly, many free users, who may find Glorify’s free tier already covers them.
