Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Free Chapel at 91% against Elevation App's 58%. Free Chapel also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Elevation App's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (497 vs 57). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
