# LM vs NDI Multiview

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LM at 88% against NDI Multiview's 46%. LM also leads on rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). NDI Multiview's advantage is ratings volume (131 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LM sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and NDI Multiview sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LM holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NDI Multiview has 131 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of LM's written reviews are positive against 46% of NDI Multiview's.

LM ships an update every 3 weeks, NDI Multiview every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
