Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Repose at 80% against My Episcopal's 31%. Repose also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months). My Episcopal's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
