Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyEnvera at 4.7 against dwellingLIVE's 1.3. MyEnvera also leads on review sentiment (24% vs 6%) and ratings volume (11K vs 641). dwellingLIVE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
