# Coupled vs LiveStatus

The clearest difference is rating: LiveStatus at 4.6 against Coupled's 4.0. LiveStatus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Coupled's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 41%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coupled sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and LiveStatus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LiveStatus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveStatus has 4.8K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Coupled's written reviews are positive against 41% of LiveStatus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Coupled ships an update every 2 months, LiveStatus every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
