Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bible Study Outline at 4.5 against Lectionary's 3.8. Bible Study Outline also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Lectionary's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
