Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MikroTik at none against EasyLive Plus's 4. MikroTik also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 23%) and ratings volume (281 vs 46). EasyLive Plus's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
