ACIM Workbook's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jesus Calling Devotional sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ACIM Workbook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
