Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Discerning Hearts at Free against Divine Will's $24.99. Discerning Hearts also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (965 vs 26). Divine Will's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#96 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Discerning Hearts is free to download; Divine Will costs $24.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Discerning Hearts holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discerning Hearts has 965 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Discerning Hearts's written reviews are positive against 100% of Divine Will's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Discerning Hearts ships an update every 3 months, Divine Will every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
