Your FPL score, live on your Lock Screen. Goals, assists, VAR takebacks, bonus as it settles, from kickoff to full time, without opening the app. The live matchday and FPL's own price tracker are free forever; the decision engine, what to do about them, is $0.99 a month or $6.99 for the year. Priced in your local currency. THE MATCHDAY AND FPL'S PRICES, FREE FOREVER • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: your team's points as they happen, from the first minute, not when you remember to refresh • Alerts you choose, event by event: goals loud, bonus quiet, or any mix; every alert type has its own toggle • Points that come OFF as well as on: a VAR-disallowed goal or a removed assist is announced, never silently vanished • Starts by itself at kickoff (with a switch to turn that off) • A deadline countdown on the Lock Screen, up to three hours before each deadline (with a switch to turn that off too) • Your whole squad live in the app, and a player page that follows the match: minutes, saves, clean sheet, bonus and points, one card per match • Every player's next three fixtures with FPL's difficulty rating, and once a gameweek settles, the points your bench and your armband left behind • FPL's own price-change tracker, shown as FPL's data: tonight's expected movers, your 15, the players you star, and a reminder before a change. This app does not predict prices • The season record, free to read: every gameweek's projections frozen before the deadline and marked after, misses first, in the app and at fplnow.app/record • No account, no login, no ads, ever. Connect with your public team ID; we run no user database. THE DECISION ENGINE, $0.99/MONTH OR $6.99/YEAR • Price timing for a move you plan: name who is coming in and who is going out, and get the answer that matters, move tonight or can wait, from FPL's own price outlook applied to your bank and your selling prices. Up to three plans • A watch on your planned buy: one heads-up 30 minutes before FPL changes prices, when FPL itself expects the player coming in to move, and that player on your deadline countdown. FPL's reading, not ours • Your selling prices and squad value after tonight's expected moves, read from your own public transfer list. They must reconcile with the value and bank FPL states for you, or nothing is shown • Projections for every rated player, each one openable: the goals, assists, clean sheet and appearance points that make up the number, and the decimal odds where they were used. And the transfer call: on any player you don't own, whether moving for them pays this gameweek, or roll. It never recommends a hit for a single move • Your league's rank battle: your effective score against the rivals you choose, with captaincy counted, live on the Team tab. A league of up to 500 teams, or the whole game • This gameweek's facts: mined from the data behind the app, each opening into its source • Where betting-market odds inform a number, the odds are shown to you: transparency, not a black box (informational only; this app takes no wagers and links to no betting operators) • When there isn't enough evidence for a player, we show NO number. No guesses dressed as data • One subscription, everything included. Family Sharing on. No trial gimmicks; the free tier is a complete app, not a teaser. FPL Now is an independent, fan-made app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by the Premier League, Fantasy Premier League, or any football club. Privacy: no tracking, no ad SDKs, no accounts. fplnow.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FPL Now at none against LiveFPL's shown. FPL Now also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%). LiveFPL's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. LiveFPL sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and FPL Now sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for LiveFPL against 5.0 for FPL Now. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveFPL has 49 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of LiveFPL's written reviews are positive against 100% of FPL Now's.
LiveFPL ships an update every 9 days, FPL Now every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
