Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Catholic Bible. at 36% against TCM Library's 0%. Catholic Bible. also leads on device support (4 vs 1). TCM Library's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
