# Streamlabs vs StreamCot

The clearest difference is rating: Streamlabs at 3.9 against StreamCot's 3.0. Streamlabs also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Streamlabs sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and StreamCot sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
