Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Elements+ at none against Fireplace Live HD's 1. The Elements+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Fireplace Live HD's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (6K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
