Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Prayer Plan App at none against Saint Jude Thaddeus's 1. Prayer Plan App also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Saint Jude Thaddeus's advantage is ratings volume (653 vs 3) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Saint Jude Thaddeus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Prayer Plan App asks for nothing beyond the download.
Saint Jude Thaddeus holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Saint Jude Thaddeus has 653 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Saint Jude Thaddeus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Prayer Plan App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
