Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Streamie at 67% against GV's 22%. Streamie also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). GV's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 136). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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. GV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Streamie sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Streamie holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GV has 1.7K ratings behind it against 136, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of GV's written reviews are positive against 67% of Streamie's.
GV ships an update every 3 months, Streamie every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
