Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Church Pamphlets at none against LDS Conferences's 1. Church Pamphlets also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). LDS Conferences's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price there is nothing between them.
