Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Live at 100% against Provision's 21%. Live also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.9) and monetization model (free vs subscription). Provision's advantage is ratings volume (456 vs 10) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Live holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Provision has 456 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Provision's written reviews are positive against 100% of Live's.
Provision ships an update fortnightly, Live monthly. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
