# M直播 vs 直播吧

The clearest difference is ads: M直播 at none against 直播吧's shown. M直播 also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). 直播吧's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (32% vs 20%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. M直播 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and 直播吧 sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

M直播 ships an update every 2 months, 直播吧 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
