Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reading Guide at none against BBE Bible's 2. Reading Guide also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). BBE Bible's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
