Head-to-head
Amazon Luna vs Boosteroid
Channel-based streaming bundled with Prime versus browser-first cloud gaming, no client required. Same metrics, same methodology — see which one fits how you actually play.
Amazon Luna

3.7
Luna is the easiest way to dip your toes into cloud gaming for free, especially on a Fire TV. The 'channels' approach is interesting but the core paid catalog is the smallest of the bunch.
Boosteroid

4.0
Boosteroid is the value pick. The streaming infrastructure is solid for 1080p / 60, the supported game list keeps growing, and the 'just open a browser tab' experience is genuinely friction-free.
