Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Replicate Pro + Live Streaming at 67% against OBS's 11%. Replicate Pro + Live Streaming also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). OBS's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model 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
OBS is free to download; Replicate Pro + Live Streaming costs $4.99 up front. Replicate Pro + Live Streaming sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and OBS sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OBS holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBS has 435 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Replicate Pro + Live Streaming's written reviews are positive against 11% of OBS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Replicate Pro + Live Streaming ships an update every 3 months, OBS every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
