Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Seeing at 67K against LiveHome's 3.3K. Seeing also leads on chart position (#32 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiveHome sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Seeing sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $28.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Seeing holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seeing has 67K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of LiveHome's written reviews are positive against 26% of Seeing's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LiveHome ships an update monthly, Seeing every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
