Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bibite at 100% against Life Alive's 34%. Bibite also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). Life Alive's advantage is ratings volume (91 vs 11) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
