Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ListenWIFI at 4.1 against LiveVoice's 3.8. ListenWIFI also leads on ratings volume (254 vs 11) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). LiveVoice's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ListenWIFI holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ListenWIFI has 254 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of ListenWIFI's written reviews are positive against 50% of LiveVoice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ListenWIFI ships an update every 4 months, LiveVoice every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
