Knight is better when the person with the knight has most/all their pawns on the opposite color as the opponent bishop.
Bishop is better when the side with the knight has several weak pawns on the same color as the bishop
and of course, the one with the more active king has momentum off that too

That is the general rule of thumb. Remember, there are some exceptions.
Thanks for your amazing instructive feedback noble
you're welcome for listening to my amazing instructive feedback ryan
From books, it also appears to me that if the pawn{s} are on one side a knight may be more beneficial. But if pawns are on both sides then a bishop holds the advantage.

you know who's better by looking at the players' ratings
if you looked at mine you couldn't tell that I'm garbage so you're wrong
Like it will always depend on position. Sometimes the pawn on the same color obstruct the movement of bishop and there are many more factors.

Don't forget: The bishop tends to do better when there are pawns on both sides of the board, and the knight generally does better when there pawns on only one side of the board.

As with most things, it's always the exceptions that are the rule of thumb.
