Verdict
Lifeway On Demand and ACTS2 both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ACTS2's written reviews are positive against 26% of Lifeway On Demand's. ACTS2 also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Lifeway On Demand's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
