Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LiveArt at none against The Times of Israel's shown. LiveArt also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). The Times of Israel's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
