Both are free to download. MC Status Widget for Minecraft sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and LiveKit sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LiveKit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MC Status Widget for Minecraft has 307 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of MC Status Widget for Minecraft's written reviews are positive against 78% of LiveKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MC Status Widget for Minecraft ships an update monthly, LiveKit every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
