# Nexus vs StreamLink

The clearest difference is monetization model: Nexus at free with in-app purchases against StreamLink's subscription. Nexus also leads on rating (2.5 vs 2.0) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). StreamLink's advantage is chart position (#205 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nexus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and StreamLink sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nexus holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nexus has 86 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Nexus's written reviews are positive against 0% of StreamLink's.

Nexus ships an update every 11 days, StreamLink weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
