MultiStreamer brings multi-stream viewing to iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac. Watch up to 5 live streams side by side with live chat, full emote support, and layouts that adapt to your screen. Connect your existing Twitch account to see the channels you follow and chat with your own identity. MultiStreamer does not create a separate account. Every feature is free. No ads, no locked settings, no reduced stream count. Free watching runs in two minute stretches with a 30 second break in between. Pro removes that timer, and that is the only difference.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chatsen at 73% against MultiStreamer TV's 33%. Chatsen also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (218 vs 5). MultiStreamer TV's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MultiStreamer TV sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Chatsen asks for nothing beyond the download.
MultiStreamer TV holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chatsen has 218 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Chatsen's written reviews are positive against 33% of MultiStreamer TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chatsen ships an update every 2 months, MultiStreamer TV every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
