# Reverse Image Search + vs LiveRec

Reverse Image Search + and LiveRec both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of LiveRec's written reviews are positive against 19% of Reverse Image Search +'s. LiveRec also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months). Reverse Image Search +'s advantage is ratings volume (549 vs 9). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reverse Image Search + sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days and LiveRec sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reverse Image Search + holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reverse Image Search + has 549 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Reverse Image Search +'s written reviews are positive against 88% of LiveRec's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Reverse Image Search + ships an update every 15 months, LiveRec every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
