Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SCC Online at 5.0 against LiveLaw's 3.9. SCC Online also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5). LiveLaw's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement 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. LiveLaw sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. SCC Online asks for nothing beyond the download.
SCC Online holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveLaw has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of LiveLaw's written reviews are positive against 25% of SCC Online's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LiveLaw ships an update fortnightly, SCC Online every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
