Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ScripturePlus at every 4 weeks against Church Pamphlets's every 8 months. ScripturePlus also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (9.5K vs 43). Church Pamphlets's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
