Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Run With Scripture at 100% against FivePointFive's 59%. Run With Scripture also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). FivePointFive's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 3) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
