# Moblin vs StreamingTool

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StreamingTool at none against Moblin's 16. Moblin's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (74 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moblin sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. StreamingTool asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Moblin against 5.0 for StreamingTool. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moblin has 74 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Moblin ships an update weekly, StreamingTool every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
