# Streamlabs vs Multi

The clearest difference is rating: Streamlabs at 3.9 against Multi's 2.8. Streamlabs also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 13). Multi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Streamlabs sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Multi asks for nothing beyond the download.

Streamlabs holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Streamlabs has 1.3K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Streamlabs's written reviews are positive against 60% of Multi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Streamlabs ships an update every 2 weeks, Multi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
