No fee per subscriber
Uscreen adds $0.99–$1.99 a month for every subscriber. RentAnOTT tiers include 10,000 to 200,000+ monthly active users, so your bill doesn't scale with your success.
Apps without the $449 tier
On Uscreen, branded apps start with App Essentials at $449/month. With RentAnOTT you add only the screens you need — Android from $149, or a full Android + iOS bundle for $299.
More ways to earn
Run subscriptions, rentals, purchases and advertising (AVOD) from one catalog, with trials, coupons, bundles and regional pricing — not a membership-only model.
Built for licensed content
Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady multi-DRM, signed playback, geo rules, device limits and concurrent-stream caps, included from Growth.
Live and on-demand together
Live TV channels and live events sit next to your movies, series, reels and microdramas in the same branded apps and website.
We migrate you
Catalog migration, payment and analytics integrations, app-store submission and CMS training are part of the launch, not a project you run alone.
Which one is right for you?
Choose RentAnOTT if
- You want your own branded mobile and TV apps without paying per subscriber
- Your audience is in the thousands and growing
- You sell more than memberships: rentals, purchases or ads
- Your content is licensed and needs DRM
- You run live channels or events alongside VOD
Uscreen may suit you if
- You have under 100 subscribers and only need a website
- Courses, community and creator marketing tools matter more than TV apps
- You want a fully self-serve tool and don't need migration help

Have a question about your setup?
What is the best Uscreen alternative?
It depends on why you're leaving. If per-subscriber fees, app pricing, DRM or advertising are the reason, RentAnOTT is built for that: flat tiers with thousands of active users included, apps priced per platform, multi-DRM and AVOD, SVOD and TVOD on one catalog. If you mainly sell courses and community, a course platform may fit better. Our guide compares seven options.
Is RentAnOTT cheaper than Uscreen?
Usually, once you have more than a few hundred subscribers. Uscreen's App Essentials plan costs $449/month plus $0.99 per subscriber, so 5,000 subscribers costs about $5,399/month. RentAnOTT with the same apps costs around $800/month at that size, including bandwidth. Under 100 subscribers on a website only, Uscreen Starter at $49 is cheaper.
Can I move my subscribers from Uscreen to RentAnOTT?
Yes. You export your customer list from Uscreen and we import it, then plan the billing switch and sign-in so active subscribers keep access. Card details held by your payment provider and app-store subscriptions need their own plan, which we map out with you before cutover.
Do I keep my brand and my apps?
Yes. Your website, Android, iOS and TV apps are published under your name, with your domain and branding. RentAnOTT handles store submission.
How long does switching from Uscreen take?
A configured service can be live within days once your content and requirements are ready. The full timeline depends on catalog size, integrations, subscriber migration and app-store review.
Does RentAnOTT support live streaming like Uscreen?
Yes. Live TV channels and live events run alongside your on-demand catalog in the same apps and website. Live is included on Growth and Scale and available as an add-on on Launch.
