Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Family Tools at none against Livo's shown. Family Tools also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Livo's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 36%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
