Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Covenant Seminary at 4.5 against My Sermon Notes's 3.8. Covenant Seminary also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). My Sermon Notes's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (13.1.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
