Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Liahona at 100% against NephiCalm's 48%. My Liahona also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). NephiCalm's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (591 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. NephiCalm sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and My Liahona sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NephiCalm holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NephiCalm has 591 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of NephiCalm's written reviews are positive against 100% of My Liahona's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
