Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EngageSC holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EngageSC has 218 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of Stream2's written reviews are positive against 0% of EngageSC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stream2 ships an update every 3 months, EngageSC every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
