Ummah vs MadinaApps, Side by Side
MadinaApps sells a collection of separate products and services; Ummah is one platform with one login and one published price. Here is how the pieces line up.
MadinaApps details verified from its published pages on June 10, 2026 (see sources below). "Not published" means we could not verify it from their public pages; it may exist. Pricing and features change, so confirm current details on their site.
Where Ummah Is Different
Start with price. MadinaApps quotes every product, setup fees included. Ummah publishes its full rate card, and Advanced, at $75 a month billed annually, bundles the pieces MadinaApps sells separately: a donation kiosk, TV displays and a website, alongside events, members, donations at 0% platform fee and vendor booth maps. The Ummah Kiosk runs on an iPad or Android tablet you already own and the displays on the TVs you already own, so there is no hardware to buy. Free ($0) and Basic ($19 a month, website included) sit below it.
The next difference is custom versus shared. MadinaApps builds your masjid its own app, which sounds appealing until you ask who downloads it: only people who already know you. Ummah is one app shared by 3,000+ communities, so 30,000+ Muslims browsing for events and masjids near them can find yours without ever having heard of it. Your reach includes the whole network, not just your existing congregation.
