# Streamie vs M

The clearest difference is rating: Streamie at 4.5 against M's 3.0. Streamie also leads on ratings volume (135 vs 2) and device support (5 vs 3). M's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Streamie sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. M asks for nothing beyond the download.

Streamie holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Streamie has 135 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Streamie's written reviews are positive against 100% of M's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Streamie ships an update every 3 weeks, M every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
