Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Live Caption at none against EZ Screen Translator's shown. Live Caption also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 19%) and device support (4 vs 1). EZ Screen Translator's advantage is ratings volume (789 vs 43) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
