Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TZMate(同桌助手) at 100% against Live Caption's 43%. TZMate(同桌助手) also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Live Caption's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
