Verdict
YouTube and EventLive-Live Stream Event both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of EventLive-Live Stream Event's written reviews are positive against 48% of YouTube's. EventLive-Live Stream Event also leads on ads (none vs shown). YouTube's advantage is ratings volume (50M vs 861) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
