# Steam Link vs Oscilloscope

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Oscilloscope at 100% against Steam Link's 43%. Oscilloscope also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Steam Link's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 1) and device support (6 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Oscilloscope holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steam Link has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Steam Link's written reviews are positive against 100% of Oscilloscope's.
