Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScriptureWriter at none against Digible's 12. ScriptureWriter also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Digible's advantage is ratings volume (560 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
