Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Bible Read at weekly against Returns Pro's every 4 months. Bible Read also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (176 vs 19). Returns Pro's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 66%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bible Read holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Read has 176 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Bible Read's written reviews are positive against 86% of Returns Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bible Read ships an update weekly, Returns Pro every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
