Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Streamlabs at 3.9 against GO's 2.3. Streamlabs also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (29% vs 8%). GO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
