Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stream 419 at 4.9 against ström's 3.4. ström's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Stream 419 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 42 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of ström's written reviews are positive against 50% of Stream 419's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ström ships an update every 2 months, Stream 419 every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 1, 2026 respectively.
