Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Studio Live at none against GRecord's 2. Studio Live also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). GRecord's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
