# StreamLabs vs Watts® Home

The clearest difference is rating: Watts® Home at 4.6 against StreamLabs's 2.5. Watts® Home also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 93). StreamLabs's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Watts® Home holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Watts® Home has 4.1K ratings behind it against 93, so its average is the more settled of the two.
