My Build Guide
Read full descriptionHide full description
Build your house with the same knowledge and incite as the pros. You don't have to be a skilled trade to build or renovate your house, actually you don't even have to pick up a hammer. You will however have to be task orientate, proactive and organized. Building your house is not rocket science, it's following a roadmap of tasks, understanding the order of the tasks, being proactive and knowing how to troubleshoot any variables that may come up.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Build Guide at none against Liven's 3. Liven's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
