Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bible Cipher at none against Cryptogram Tale's 3. Bible Cipher also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Cryptogram Tale's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
