Quran.com Alternatives for Memorizing the Quran (2026)

The best Quran.com alternatives for memorization add what Quran.com’s own pages do not mention: recitation checking, a review schedule and a way to test yourself. Quran.com already repeats verses, so you do not need a new app just to loop audio.

We make Quran Loop, one of the apps below, so we say so here and mark where another app fits better. Every fact about another app comes from its own listing or site, checked on 11 October 2026.

What does Quran.com already do for memorization?

More than most people expect. Quran.com is a free site for reading, listening and study, and its audio player has repeat controls built in.

In the player menu, open Manage repeat settings. You can pick a single verse, a range or a full surah. Then set how many times the range plays, how many times each verse repeats, and a delay between verses.

We opened it on 11 October 2026 without signing in.

The Quran.com iPhone app lists repeat counts from 1 to 100 times, looping and pauses you can set, and it remembers your counts between sessions. Quran.com’s apps page also lists a separate Android app, Quran for Android, but we could not confirm repeat there.

What its own pages do not mention is a recitation check, a review schedule or a way to hide the text and test yourself. Quran.com’s home page points to a different app, Tasmi, for guided memorization.

Why look for a Quran.com alternative?

People usually want one of four things Quran.com does not describe. Name yours first, because each points to a different app.

What you want	Look at
Someone to listen to you recite and flag mistakes	Tarteel, SABR
A plan that tells you what to review and when	SABR, Tasmi
To hide the text and test yourself	Quran Loop, Tarteel (Premium)
To mark verses you keep forgetting and loop only those	Quran Loop

If you only want to repeat a verse, stay with Quran.com. It does that well, and it is free.

How do the alternatives compare?

Here is each app on the same criteria. “Not stated” means we did not find the feature on the app’s own page; it may still exist.

The alternatives, one by one

Tarteel

Tarteel is built to listen to you recite. Its App Store listing says it tracks your voice and reveals the words as you say them. On Premium it also flags word-level errors, skipped words and wrong vowel marks.

Best for: reciting from memory and catching mistakes without a teacher in the room.
Strengths: a hidden-verses mode, Smart Goals for memorization, revision or reading, and a log of past mistakes. The free tier includes recitation follow-along and voice search.
Limits: its listing does not mention repeating a verse. Voice features need a microphone and a stable internet connection.
Platforms and price: iPhone and iPad. The listing shows Premium plans from $14.99 a month to $239.99 a year. Tarteel also runs a pay-what-you-can program, Alim, that can go down to $0. More in our Tarteel alternatives guide.

SABR

SABR pairs recitation feedback with a plan. Its site says an AI coach listens word by word with tajweed-aware feedback, and a spaced-repetition engine schedules your reviews.

Best for: beginners who want feedback and a review schedule in one app.
Strengths: a guided plan for each surah, with Al-Fatihah, Ya-Sin, Al-Mulk and Al-Kahf marked free.
Limits: the site does not describe paid plans, offline use or repeating a verse on loop. It does not say whether the coach is on the free tier.
Platforms and price: iOS and Android, with a demo in the browser. Free to start, with no credit card needed.

Memorize The Holy Quran

Memorize The Holy Quran is built around repetition. Its listing describes auto-repetition with delays you set between verses and a revision dashboard.

Best for: Apple users who want repeating and revision in one app.
Strengths: Madani and color-coded tajweed Mushaf options, more than 20 reciters and word-by-word translation.
Limits: the listing shows no recitation check. After a 15-day free trial, a subscription is needed.
Platforms and price: iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Tasmi

Tasmi is a new, free app that guides you through a surah ayah by ayah. You pick a range, and each range becomes a challenge with stages: listen, read the Arabic, recite from memory, then use the verses in prayer. Quran.com’s own apps page lists it.

Best for: a free, structured path with a review deck, if you have an iPhone.
Strengths: memorized ayahs go into a review deck that uses spaced repetition, with first-word prompts and gap-fills. It also has a daily streak.
Limits: it is very new. When we checked it had one rating, English only, four reciters and a recent iPhone requirement (iOS 18.6). The listing does not mention repeating a verse or checking your recitation.
Platforms and price: iPhone and Mac. The listing shows no in-app purchases.

Quran Loop

Quran Loop is our free web app. You pick a chapter and a verse range, choose a reciter, and the recitation loops while each Arabic word lights up. Its Quran text, translation and reciter audio come from Quran.com’s data, so it works beside Quran.com.

Repeat alone is no reason to switch from Quran.com, which already does it. We add the practice around the repeat.

Best for: testing yourself and tracking the verses you keep forgetting, for free, in a browser.
Strengths: Test yourself shows only the first word of each verse and stops before each one so you can recite it. You can mark weak verses while you listen and loop only those later. A Revise row lists up to five verses that are due, and playlists group saved loops. It also shows printed Mushaf pages. The Quran revision app page shows how.
Limits: it does not listen to you or check your recitation, so Tarteel and SABR do that job better. It does not build a review plan for you. There is no iOS or Android app: it runs in your browser, and on most phones you can add it to your home screen.
Platforms and price: any device with a modern browser. Listening as a guest works from the start, and a free account saves more loops, weak verses and playlists.

How do you choose?

Start from what you do on Quran.com today and keep that part. Add one app only for the gap.

You only need to repeat verses. Stay with Quran.com. The research behind the numbers is in how many times to repeat a verse.
You want recitation feedback. Try SABR or Tarteel, and tell your teacher what the app flags.
You want a plan that schedules reviews. Try SABR or Tasmi. If you prefer to build your own, follow how to revise the Quran.
You want to test yourself and track weak verses, free. Use Quran Loop beside Quran.com.

No app replaces a teacher who hears you recite and corrects your tajweed. Use an app between lessons. For the wider field, see our comparison of the best Quran memorization apps.

Your next step

Pick one gap and try one change for a week. If you are not sure how much to learn each day, start with the Quran memorization plan. To see how Quran Loop handles test mode and weak verses, the features page has short clips.

Frequently asked questions

Does Quran.com have a memorization feature?

Not a dedicated one that its own pages describe. Its audio player has Repeat Settings, and its iPhone app lists repeat counts from 1 to 100 times. We found no mention of recitation checking, a review schedule or hiding text for self-testing. Its home page links to a separate app, Tasmi, for guided memorization.

Can I repeat a verse on Quran.com?

Yes. In the audio player menu, open Manage repeat settings. You can choose a single verse, a range of verses or a full surah, set how many times the range plays, how many times each verse repeats, and a delay between verses.

What is the best free alternative to Quran.com for memorizing the Quran?

Quran Loop, Tasmi and SABR are free to start. Quran Loop is a free web app with test mode and weak-verse tracking. Tasmi's App Store listing shows no in-app purchases and a spaced-repetition review deck. SABR says it is free to start, with some plans marked free.

Which app checks my recitation if I use Quran.com?

Tarteel and SABR both describe listening to your recitation and flagging mistakes. On Tarteel the live mistake detection is part of Premium. Neither replaces a teacher who hears your tajweed.

Should I stop using Quran.com if I switch to a memorization app?

No. Quran.com is useful for translations, tafsir and looking up verses, and it is free. Most people keep it for study and use a second app for memorization practice.

Can an app replace a teacher?

No. An app can repeat audio, quiz you or flag a skipped word, but a teacher hears your tajweed and corrects it. Use an app between lessons, not instead of them.
