Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Livly Hub at Free against BarMaker's $0.99. Livly Hub also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 14%) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). BarMaker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On ads and in-app purchases 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
Livly Hub is free to download; BarMaker costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BarMaker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Livly Hub has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of BarMaker's written reviews are positive against 50% of Livly Hub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BarMaker ships an update every 6 days, Livly Hub fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
