Streamie's advantage is ratings volume (134 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LightSpace Connect sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Streamie sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LightSpace Connect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Streamie has 134 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
