Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Thinkr at none against Bible's 15. Thinkr also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.6). Bible's advantage is chart position (#190 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
