Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Punch at none against LivePocket's 1. Punch also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). LivePocket's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
