Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vehicle Identification at none against Prayer's 10. Vehicle Identification also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Prayer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.3 vs 15.8.3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
