Nova

Nova is a Bible reading app with a single focus: helping you read the Bible. You open the app and you are in Scripture. Build your own reading plan: whatever you want to read, in whatever time you have. Acts and Romans in thirty days. The New Testament in three months. Gentle catch-ups when life happens. Read in NIV, KJV, CSB, NASB, NLT, or NKJV. Somewhere along the way, between interruptions, clutter, ads, AI, and features nobody asked for, reading the Bible became one more thing competing for your attention. Nova is not a devotional feed. Not a catalog of plans. Not a social network with timelines and comments. Your attention is precious and we respect it. We just want you to spend time with God's Word.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nova at none against BibleLingo's shown. BibleLingo's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
