Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LiveTime Viewer at none against LuxStage's 1. LiveTime Viewer also leads on device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). LuxStage's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
