Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Testifyre at 100% against Church Center's 41%. Testifyre also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). Church Center's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 13). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
