Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Living Scriptures at free with in-app purchases against VidAngel's subscription. VidAngel's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
