Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EESC at none against Live Caption's 5. EESC also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Live Caption's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
