Lose a sale to a forgotten comment? LiveCatch is built for live sellers on TikTok LIVE, Instagram, Facebook, Whatnot, and more. During a live stream, requests fly by — custom orders, price questions, interested buyers. They pile up and get buried. LiveCatch lets you log them in real time with one tap, then follow up with every single one after your stream ends. LOG IN REAL TIME Nine quick-action buttons cover every request type: Custom Order, Price Question, Interested Buyer, Shipping Question, Invoice Needed, Logo/Artwork, Follow Up Later, and Voice Input. Capture as fast as comments come in. TRACK EVERY REQUEST Every entry stores the viewer's username, platform, item details, status, payment status, and contact info. Nothing falls through the cracks. FOLLOW UP LIKE A PRO Generate personalized follow-up messages with one tap, copy to clipboard, and mark requests paid, invoiced, or complete as you close them out. SCREENSHOT IMPORT Already have a backlog? Import requests from live chat screenshots using built-in OCR — no retyping needed. VOICE INPUT Too busy to type mid-stream? Tap the mic and speak — LiveCatch transcribes your request on the spot. TEAM SUPPORT Invite moderators to log requests during your live so you can stay focused on selling. SCHEDULE & BUILD QUEUE Plan upcoming lives and manage a build queue for custom orders so nothing gets lost between streams.

Verdict

The call

AutoCAD and LiveCatch are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
