Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chartbeat at 73% against LiveSafe's 23%. Chartbeat also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). LiveSafe's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
