Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scroll for Jesus at none against Scripture's 2. Scroll for Jesus also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Scripture's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
