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 ## Switching from Uscreen 1. **Map your Uscreen setup.** On a demo we review your catalog, plans, apps and audience size, and give you a fixed monthly quote. 2. **Migrate your catalog.** We move videos, artwork, metadata, collections and pricing into the RentAnOTT CMS. 3. **Move your subscribers.** We import your member list and plan the billing cutover and sign-in so access continues without a gap. 4. **Launch your apps.** Your branded web, mobile and TV apps go live under your name, with store submission handled for you.

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. ## Book a demo Tell RentAnOTT what you are launching.
