Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Lutheran Study Bible at 76% against Quick Commodities's 24%. The Lutheran Study Bible also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Quick Commodities's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (505 vs 76). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Commodities sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and The Lutheran Study Bible sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Lutheran Study Bible holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Commodities has 505 ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Quick Commodities's written reviews are positive against 76% of The Lutheran Study Bible's.
Quick Commodities ships an update fortnightly, The Lutheran Study Bible every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
