# Liven vs Harbor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Harbor at 100% against Liven's 20%. Harbor also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Liven's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (200 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Liven sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Harbor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Harbor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Liven has 200 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Liven's written reviews are positive against 100% of Harbor's.

Liven ships an update every 9 days, Harbor every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
