Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Wikipanion Plus at every 2 weeks against Religion Encyclopedia's every 46 months. Wikipanion Plus also leads on chart position (#170 vs unranked). Religion Encyclopedia's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
