Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Catholic Dashboard at 100% against Lectionarium's 53%. Catholic Dashboard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). Lectionarium's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (52 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
