Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BibleX at free against Scripture's free with in-app purchases. BibleX also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Scripture's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
