ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smoothstreamer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Obsbot Start has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Smoothstreamer's written reviews are positive against 19% of Obsbot Start's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smoothstreamer ships an update fortnightly, Obsbot Start monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
