Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VideoToLive at 4.4 against Live Share's 3.0. VideoToLive also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 45 months) and ratings volume (596 vs 2). Live Share's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Live Share sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and VideoToLive sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
VideoToLive holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VideoToLive has 596 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Live Share's written reviews are positive against 62% of VideoToLive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Live Share ships an update every 45 months, VideoToLive monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
