Side by side
Acfer Stream vs the market.
How we compare with popular OTT platforms and with building your own.
Competitor details come from public pricing pages and reviews as of October 2026 and can change at any time. "Not listed" means we could not find it published; "Ask vendor" means it depends on the vendor. Please confirm with each vendor.
Full sources for every platform are linked in the market fee guide above.
Why teams choose us
Four reasons that add up.
Per subscriber
Your platform fee stays the same at 500 or 50,000 subscribers.
Revenue share
Payments go to your own Stripe account. You pay only Stripe's card fees.
Apps
Web, Android, iOS, tablets, Mac, Fire TV, Android TV, Roku and Apple TV.
Yours
Your content, customer data, Stripe and AWS accounts. Full export if you ever leave.
Build vs buy
Why not build it yourself?
Building in-house means separate apps for every TV and phone platform, a video pipeline, payments, accounts and analytics: typically many months and a permanent engineering team.
Comparing platforms? Read this first.
Why are other OTT platforms more expensive as I grow?
Many platforms charge a fee for every subscriber each month, or take a percentage of each sale. Those costs rise with your audience. Acfer Stream charges one fixed installation fee and optional maintenance, so your platform cost stays the same at any size.
Where do the competitor prices come from?
From each vendor's public pricing page, help centre or published pricing reviews, gathered in October 2026. Prices change often, so please confirm with each vendor.
What costs does the calculator leave out?
Card processing fees, app-store commission, bandwidth overages and the AWS hosting you pay for Acfer Stream. It compares platform fees only.
