Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: TeamLive at free against Jolt's freemium. TeamLive also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (27K vs 949). Jolt's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 31%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TeamLive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TeamLive has 27K ratings behind it against 949, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of TeamLive's written reviews are positive against 41% of Jolt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TeamLive ships an update every 8 days, Jolt every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
