The goal of Read Scripture is that everyone would read the Bible for themselves and discover the truth and beauty of God’s Word. To this end, we are curating a year-long Bible reading plan and supplementing the reading with amazingly creative videos (produced by our friends at the Bible Project) that explain every book of the Bible, major theological themes of the gospel, and tips on how to read the Bible. We house all of this content in a beautifully designed app that is available to download in the App Store. We encourage you to experience Read Scripture in community but it is set up so that you can go through it on your own.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Read Scripture at 1.8K against Ek Rasta's 6. Ek Rasta's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
