Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Beyond LIVE at 3.7 against PLVE's 1.6. PLVE's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Beyond LIVE holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 26 respectively.

Beyond LIVE ships an update every 6 weeks, PLVE every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
