# TouchDirector vs Stream to Studio

The clearest difference is price: Stream to Studio at Free against TouchDirector's $69.99. Stream to Studio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). TouchDirector's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Stream to Studio is free to download; TouchDirector costs $69.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Stream to Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TouchDirector has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of TouchDirector's written reviews are positive against 75% of Stream to Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
