Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LIT Bible Study at 5.0 against Church App's 4.3. LIT Bible Study also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Church App's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (994 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
