Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Catholic Daily Scripture at none against Fairy Tales!'s 1. Catholic Daily Scripture also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 37 months). Fairy Tales!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
