ClickAndLIVE! turns your iPhone or iPad into a mobile video and live-streaming studio. It works standalone with the device cameras and can optionally connect to wireless LiveCUBE! cameras and local MJPEG IP cameras. KEY FEATURES • Front and rear iPhone or iPad cameras. • Optional face detection processed on-device with Apple Vision. • Wireless LiveCUBE! preview over the local network, remote LED control, audio monitoring and Push-to-Talk. • User-configured MJPEG IP cameras. • Independent enable, mute and level controls for audio sources available on the device. • Local video recording and full-resolution snapshots saved to Photos. • RTMP, RTMPS and SRT streaming to YouTube Live, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn or a custom server. • Live Control Center with pre-flight checks for video, audio and the selected destination. • H.264 and HEVC/H.265 encoding where supported by the selected server. • Polish and English language selection inside the app. CLICKANDLIVE! PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE The free version adds the ClickAndLIVE! watermark — the Brandt B logo with a hat — to live output, recordings and snapshots. The one-time, non-consumable ClickAndLIVE! PRO purchase permanently removes this watermark. It uses StoreKit 2 and includes Restore Purchases for devices using the same Apple Account. This is not a subscription. PRIVACY Local studio features do not require an account or sign-in. LiveCUBE! and MJPEG connections stay directly on the local network. Streaming begins only after the user enters their own server address and stream key. ClickAndLIVE! never starts a public stream automatically and does not store media on the developer’s servers. LiveCUBE! is optional hardware. Device-camera preview, photos, local recording and streaming configuration work without additional equipment. LIVECUBE! CHAT The optional chat panel lets you read and reply to viewers of your own broadcast. Connect with Google, Facebook or LinkedIn in the system browser, then confirm using the code shown in the app. Messages are stored on LiveCUBE! and linked to your account. Optional translation, with consent, sends message text to Google’s translation service. Chat includes message reporting and user blocking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LU at none against ClickAndLive!'s 1. LU also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). ClickAndLive!'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
