Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ThinQ Streaming holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: appbot RILEY has 36 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of appbot RILEY's written reviews are positive against 0% of ThinQ Streaming's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
appbot RILEY ships an update every 8 days, ThinQ Streaming every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
