Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Audio Bible at none against Bible Study's 1. Audio Bible also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Bible Study's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
