Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bible Record at 100% against Microsoft Translator's 44%. Bible Record also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Microsoft Translator's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (158K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
