# CameraKit vs Streaming Player

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Streaming Player at none against CameraKit's 3. Streaming Player also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CameraKit's advantage is ratings volume (321 vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CameraKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Streaming Player asks for nothing beyond the download.

Streaming Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CameraKit has 321 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of CameraKit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Streaming Player's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
