Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bible IQ at 5.0 against Bible NIV's 4.4. Bible NIV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bible IQ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Bible NIV asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bible IQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible NIV has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
