Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PathLive at 4.4 against 梯子Z's 3.9. PathLive also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). 梯子Z's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (48 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PathLive holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 梯子Z has 48 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of 梯子Z's written reviews are positive against 67% of PathLive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

梯子Z ships an update weekly, PathLive every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
