Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Become New at 5.0 against BiblicalTraining's 4.2. Become New also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). BiblicalTraining's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (50 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
