# LiveHome vs Seeing

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Seeing at 67K against LiveHome's 3.3K. Seeing also leads on chart position (#33 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.

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.

LiveHome ships an update monthly, Seeing every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
