Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Clip Jar at free against LiveUp's freemium. Clip Jar also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). LiveUp's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
