Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LiveTL at 3.5 against waidayo's 3.0. waidayo's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and review sentiment (38% vs 27%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LiveTL holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: waidayo has 157 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of waidayo's written reviews are positive against 27% of LiveTL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
waidayo ships an update fortnightly, LiveTL monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
