Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AskBibleAnswers at none against BBE Bible's 2. AskBibleAnswers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 11 months). BBE Bible's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
