It pays to migrate from Arketa to Uscreen
Beautiful video catalogs, branded apps you truly own (including Apple Watch Fitness Trackers), and a Dedicated Success Manager to help you grow are just a few of the reasons why these membership owners migrated from Arketa to Uscreen — and never looked back
Why creators choose

Built to scale
Uscreen seamlessly scales to support a thriving membership base. Our technology ensures instant and reliable syncing across all platforms, helping to deliver a premium experience.
Premium experience
When you see how clean and simple Uscreen’s user experience is, you’ll wish you’d switched sooner. 4.9-star average iOS app store rating across 9.2M+ end-users.
Tools and support
With Uscreen, you own your app and user data. Uscreen apps are built on your developer account. Get 24/7 support to help you make sense of your analytics and scale your business.

Uscreen's technology is built and maintained by a team of expert software developers. Our dedication to user experience ensures a seamless and user-friendly platform for you and your members, freeing you to focus on content creation and business growth.
Premium video experience
While Arketa relies on embedded video players, Uscreen’s native video catalog offers superior stability and looks more professional, distinguishing you from others in your niche. Advanced features like custom playlists, auto-play, and offline viewing give your members the flexibility they expect.
Full-featured apps, launched in 30 days
Launch full-featured mobile and TV apps — on your personal developer account — in 30 days with Uscreen. While Arketa hosts your apps on their account, you keep full ownership of apps built with Uscreen. Enhance your membership experience with your own Apple Watch Fitness Tracker app.
Community & catalog, all in one place
While Arketa’s community is in beta, Uscreen’s built-in community integrates seamlessly with your video catalog — all in one place, across web and mobile app experience. Allow fans to ask questions and engage in real-time. Go live in a few clicks (Arketa doesn’t support live streaming).
Powerful Analytics & 24/7 Support
