Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Confirmation Saints at none against The Novena App's 3. Confirmation Saints also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). The Novena App's advantage is ratings volume (909 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
