Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Livify at Free against 什么时辰's $0.99. Livify also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%). 什么时辰's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
