The site becomes the channel. Other apps ask you for an m3u8 link. AnyStream TV asks for the address of a site. Paste it, and AnyStream TV opens the page, finds the channels it carries, and saves them to your library. One import can bring in a whole site's worth of channels at once β€” and once they're in, you never need to open that site again. No m3u8 to find. No M3U playlist that works today and is dead next week. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Paste the address of a site that streams TV β€’ Or share the page to AnyStream TV straight from Safari β€’ The channels it finds are added to your library, named and sorted β€’ Tap one and watch β€’ Landed on a site's home page? AnyStream TV points you to the page where its channels are FOR THE SITES YOU ALREADY WATCH AnyStream TV ships with no catalogue and hosts nothing. It organises what you already open in your browser, so the pages you visit for live TV become channels in one app instead of a folder of bookmarks. M3U WORKS TOO Already have a direct .m3u8 link or an M3U playlist? Paste it and add it directly to your library. M3U is fully supported β€” you just don't need one to get started. FIND CHANNELS WITH THE BUILT-IN BROWSER Not sure where to start? Open the built-in browser and tap Find channels. Pick a country and a theme, or a channel's name, and AnyStream TV writes the Google search for you. Results that can be imported are labelled before you even tap them. Land on a page that's streaming, tap Import as channel, and its channels are added to your library. WHAT'S ON, AT A GLANCE See what's on now and what's next right under your channels. With Pro, open the full programme guide and set reminders so you never miss a show. YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE Everything you import syncs automatically over iCloud. Your channels, playlists and favourites are ready on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple silicon Mac. Search your library, filter by country or category, and organise channels into playlists. ON APPLE TV AND MAC AnyStream TV is free on Apple TV and Apple silicon Mac too. Your first week is unlimited; after that, watch up to 60 minutes a day for free, or go unlimited with Pro. YOUR IPHONE BECOMES THE REMOTE Cast a channel to your TV with AirPlay and AnyStream TV turns your iPhone into a remote. Zap between channels, use CH+ and CHβˆ’, or enter a channel number to jump straight to it β€” without interrupting what's playing on the big screen. ANYSTREAM TV PRO β€’ Unlimited channel imports β€’ No ads, anywhere β€’ Unlimited viewing on Apple TV and Apple silicon Mac β€’ The full programme guide and reminders The free tier includes 5 import credits per month. A single channel costs 1 credit and a whole site's worth of channels costs 3 β€” and you only pay for what's new to your library. Try Pro free for 7 days. The trial includes 15 import credits, shared across your devices; imports are unlimited once the subscription starts. Then $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year. JUST WANT THE ADS GONE? Remove Ads is a one-time $8.99 purchase that removes every ad, forever.

Verdict

AnyStream TV's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
