Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Covenant Church NC at none against First 5's shown. Covenant Church NC also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). First 5's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (890 vs 11). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
