Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reformed Companion at none against Scripture Spot's 1. Reformed Companion also leads on ratings volume (121 vs 10). Scripture Spot's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
