Live Caption's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (43 vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 疯狂翻译师 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Live Caption sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
