Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ViewDo at none against LiveMemo's shown. ViewDo also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 2) and iOS requirement (17.2 vs 26.0). LiveMemo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiveMemo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ViewDo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LiveMemo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ViewDo has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of LiveMemo's written reviews are positive against 92% of ViewDo's.
LiveMemo ships an update every 4 days, ViewDo every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
