Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scripture Videos at 100% against Gospel Stream's 42%. Scripture Videos also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Gospel Stream's advantage is ratings volume (166 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
