# MediaLink Switcher vs NDI Multiview

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MediaLink Switcher at 72% against NDI Multiview's 46%. MediaLink Switcher also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). NDI Multiview's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (131 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MediaLink Switcher sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and NDI Multiview sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NDI Multiview holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NDI Multiview has 131 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of MediaLink Switcher's written reviews are positive against 46% of NDI Multiview's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MediaLink Switcher ships an update monthly, NDI Multiview every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
