Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MotionCut at none against VideoToLive's 2. MotionCut also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). VideoToLive's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price there is nothing between them.
