Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Book Towers at 4.8 against 가톨릭성경's 4.3. Book Towers also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (274 vs 12). 가톨릭성경's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
