Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Bible Tracker at none against Epistle's 5. My Bible Tracker also leads on ratings volume (131 vs 12). Epistle's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
