Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reformed Perspective at none against catechism.app's 1. Reformed Perspective also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 1). catechism.app's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 71%) and ratings volume (166 vs 5). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. catechism.app sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per year. Reformed Perspective asks for nothing beyond the download.
Reformed Perspective holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: catechism.app has 166 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of catechism.app's written reviews are positive against 71% of Reformed Perspective's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
catechism.app ships an update every 6 weeks, Reformed Perspective every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
