Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Livetop at 3.9 against MIT App Inventor's 2.6. MIT App Inventor's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Livetop holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 18 respectively.
