# OBS Blade vs StreamKit

The clearest difference is rating: StreamKit at 4.6 against OBS Blade's 4.0. StreamKit also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (290 vs 75). OBS Blade's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 38%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OBS Blade sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and StreamKit sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StreamKit holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 75 and 290 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of OBS Blade's written reviews are positive against 38% of StreamKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OBS Blade ships an update every 3 weeks, StreamKit monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
