Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LiveFin at none against Multiview App's 1. LiveFin also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Multiview App's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (25 vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
