Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bible at none against Daily Devotional Readings's 12. Bible also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Daily Devotional Readings's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
