Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: English Majority Text Version at none against The Discovery Bible's shown. English Majority Text Version also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). The Discovery Bible's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
