Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daily Scripture Reader at none against KJV Bible Now's 11. Daily Scripture Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown). KJV Bible Now's advantage is chart position (#18 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
