Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SSL Live TaCo at 3.0 against DiGiCo S's 2.6. SSL Live TaCo also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 10 months). DiGiCo S's advantage is review sentiment (17% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 12). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
