Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Heavenly Prayers at none against Candle's 10. Heavenly Prayers also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Candle's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
