Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: FlixFling Streaming at free with in-app purchases against BroadwayHD's subscription. FlixFling Streaming also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). BroadwayHD's advantage is rating (2.6 vs 2.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads 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. FlixFling Streaming sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and BroadwayHD sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BroadwayHD holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 28 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of FlixFling Streaming's written reviews are positive against 13% of BroadwayHD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FlixFling Streaming ships an update every 4 months, BroadwayHD every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 22, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
