Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KJV Notes at none against Bible Scroll's 10. KJV Notes also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 61%) and chart position (#209 vs unranked). Bible Scroll's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
