Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScripturePlus at none against LDS Conferences's 1. ScripturePlus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9.5K vs 328). LDS Conferences's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
