Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scripture at 100% against Audio Bible's 64%. Scripture also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Audio Bible's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 3). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
