Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bible Study Buddy at none against Christ Encounters's shown. Bible Study Buddy also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Christ Encounters's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
