Pilsa is a quiet place to copy scripture, sutras and good sentences by hand. You choose your faith when you start, and you only see writing that fits it: Church, Cathedral, Temple, or none at all. Open the app, take a breath, and write today's line with Apple Pencil. One line a day is enough. The pages you finish stack up in your journal, and you can share them as a card. Pilsa opens on iPhone too. On iPhone you read and listen to today's passage and see the pages and writing videos you made on iPad. Save a passage and pick it up on iPad. The handwriting itself happens on iPad with Apple Pencil. WRITE YOUR WAY - Trace: write over soft guide letters - Copy: read a line, then write it below - Recall: look, hide, and write from memory - Dictation: listen, then write what you hear Every way of writing is free. When you write English, meanings, word notes and pronunciation sit beside the page. WHAT YOU CAN WRITE - Scripture from the King James Version, or the Douay-Rheims Bible for Catholics - Classic Buddhist texts such as the Heart Sutra, with plain English explanations - Short affirmations, including one-page stories Choose your religion when you start, or none at all. You only see writing that fits your choice, and you can change it anytime. MADE TO FEEL CALM - Hand-drawn doodle design, with Meok the octopus and Sagak the pencil hedgehog - Stickers you can place on your page and keep on your finished card - Papers like Manuscript Grid, Hanji, Lamplight and Kraft Notebook - Gentle sounds: rain, brook, fireplace and dawn chords - Natural read-aloud voices that work offline YOUR PAGES STAY YOURS - No account and no sign-in. iCloud keeps iPad and iPhone in sync - Your pages can always be opened and shared, subscription or not - Everything you write works offline FREE AND PAID Today's line, starter packs, the first days of every pack and a free sticker set are free. Every copywork mode is free too. Buy a single pack and keep it forever, with or without a subscription. There are also books of four weeks, one page a day. Pilsa Plus opens every book, pack, paper, sound and sticker at once, and brings a new book each month. Pilsa Plus is an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pilsa at none against readin's shown. readin's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
