Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ranch Records at 80% against LiveEQ's 23%. Ranch Records also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). LiveEQ's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (731 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LiveEQ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveEQ has 731 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Ranch Records's written reviews are positive against 23% of LiveEQ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
