Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RtspDeck at 100% against Scrypted's 33%. Scrypted's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Scrypted holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scrypted has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Scrypted's written reviews are positive against 100% of RtspDeck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scrypted ships an update every 3 weeks, RtspDeck every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
