Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ONE Bible at Free against CHMate+'s $9.99. ONE Bible also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (10.1 vs 26.0). CHMate+'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
