Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StreamChamp at 4.6 against Larix Broadcaster's 3.6. StreamChamp also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 131) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, 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
Both are free to download. Larix Broadcaster sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and StreamChamp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
StreamChamp holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StreamChamp has 3.5K ratings behind it against 131, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Larix Broadcaster's written reviews are positive against 63% of StreamChamp's.
Larix Broadcaster ships an update every 3 weeks, StreamChamp every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
