# StreamChamp vs KICK

The clearest difference is ratings volume: KICK at 140K against StreamChamp's 3.5K. KICK also leads on chart position (#16 vs unranked). StreamChamp's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 47%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StreamChamp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and KICK sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for StreamChamp against 4.7 for KICK. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KICK has 140K ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of StreamChamp's written reviews are positive against 47% of KICK's.

StreamChamp ships an update every 10 days, KICK every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
