Punktfunk is the next generation of local game streaming. Stream from your Linux PC, headless server or laptop to your Apple devices — with low latency and built-in support for virtual displays. That means the resolution matches exactly the device you are streaming to. Windows hosts are supported as well. Both our client apps and the server/host are open source. Punktfunk sets itself apart from existing solutions through lower latency, which we achieve with our own QUIC-based protocol. More features: • Comprehensive DualSense controller support (adaptive triggers, LEDs and rumble) • Xbox controller support • Microphone passthrough: optionally forward the microphone from your client to the host • Heavily optimised client with Metal-based rendering • 1 Gbps+ ready: a lot of work went into supporting high bitrates, so high resolutions and refresh rates are possible. Requires a good network/Wi-Fi • (Experimental) Browse the host's game library on the client and launch games directly • Windows hosts: 10-bit colour and HDR support • Statistics: glass-to-glass latency measurement • Mouse and keyboard support

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Markdown at Free against Punktfunk's $2.99. Markdown also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Punktfunk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On ads there is nothing between them.
