Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Doctrinal Mastery at none against The Red Headed Hostess's 1. Doctrinal Mastery also leads on ratings volume (234 vs 26). The Red Headed Hostess's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Red Headed Hostess sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per month. Doctrinal Mastery asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Red Headed Hostess holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doctrinal Mastery has 234 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Doctrinal Mastery's written reviews are positive against 71% of The Red Headed Hostess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Doctrinal Mastery ships an update every 8 months, The Red Headed Hostess every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
