Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Church Aware at 5.0 against Start.me's 3.9. Church Aware also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Start.me's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
