Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Big Little Bible at none against ChantCode's 1. The Big Little Bible also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). ChantCode's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
