Android — Free with an Optional Contribution
RideStream for Android is completely free — all features, including Wi-Fi Host Mode, Receiver Mode, mixed playlists and background playback, are available with no trial and no paywall.
If you'd like to support development, you can make a one-time $0.99 contribution through the Google Play Store. This is entirely optional and also unlocks the additional app themes. The app stays fully functional whether or not you contribute.
Windows — 15-Day Trial Then $0.99
When you install RideStream on Windows 10 or 11, a 15-day free trial activates automatically with every feature unlocked. After the trial ends, a single one-time $0.99 license purchased through the Microsoft Store unlocks the app permanently.
The license is linked to your Microsoft Account, has no subscription, and never expires.
