# BYOChannel vs Setto Studio

The clearest difference is update cadence: Setto Studio at every 3 days against BYOChannel's every 5 weeks. Setto Studio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). BYOChannel's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BYOChannel sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Setto Studio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Setto Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BYOChannel has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

BYOChannel ships an update every 5 weeks, Setto Studio every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
