Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Daily Devo at every 2 weeks against Cities Church's every 3 months. Daily Devo also leads on ratings volume (200 vs 11). Cities Church's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
