dLive4You is a personal monitor mixing app for the Allen & Heath dLive mixer giving you customised control of your own monitor mix on stage using a smart phone or tablet.
 It is for remote control of a single mix (it does not pass audio), and connects to the dLive via a connected wireless router or access point. dLive4You allows you to: - Choose any Aux mix to control - Assign which sources to control (Channels, FX returns, Groups) - View channels numbers, names and meters - Control individual channel send levels and pan - Assign up to 4 groups of channels to level trim wheels - Create a 'Me' group for quick control of your own channels - Name each group - Control the Aux mix level and mute - Control the Aux mix PEQ, Graphic EQ and Compressor - Lock the mix and/or processing to prevent user error Requirements: An Allen & Heath dLive mixing console with a wireless router (wireless access point) connected to its Network port. The dLive mixer firmware and dLive4You app must share the same major release version (the first two numbers) but maintenance version numbers do not need to be identical, for example dLive4You V2.00 is compatible with dLive firmware V2.02 A user must have both ‘dLive4You’ and access to at least one mix allowed in dLive User Permissions. Refer to the Allen & Heath web site for more information and to download the latest dLive mixer firmware.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: dLive4You at none against StagePlot Guru's 10. dLive4You also leads on rating (2.8 vs 2.5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). StagePlot Guru's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (120 vs 10). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
