Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Sittr at Free against MyPrayers's $1.99. Sittr also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (29 vs 4). MyPrayers's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
