# Livedesk Studio vs PRISM

The clearest difference is ratings volume: PRISM at 6.5K against Livedesk Studio's 9. PRISM also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 34%). Livedesk Studio's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Livedesk Studio sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and PRISM sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Livedesk Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PRISM has 6.5K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Livedesk Studio's written reviews are positive against 49% of PRISM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Livedesk Studio ships an update every 3 weeks, PRISM fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
