Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fall Open Bible at none against Scriptur's 1. Fall Open Bible also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Scriptur's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
