Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KAL at 5.0 against BH Live Active's 4.4. BH Live Active's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 12%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
KAL holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of KAL's written reviews are positive against 31% of BH Live Active's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 28, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
