ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scrypted holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Streamie has 133 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Streamie's written reviews are positive against 33% of Scrypted's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
