Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Scriptura at none against Edda's shown. Scriptura also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Edda's advantage is ratings volume (111 vs 3) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
