Amazon Fire TV Stick vs. Roku Express: Which Prime Day Deal Should You Buy?

The Roku Express is still a very good budget streamer if you don't want those extra features, however, and it has a couple of advantages over the Fire TV that might be more important to you.

First off, it supports Apple AirPlay. That means you can mirror your iPhone's screen on your TV, to play videos or show photos on a larger screen, for example. The Fire TV Stick doesn't support AirPlay.

Second, as we mentioned above, we like Rou's simpler menu system and search results. The Roku home screen is a lot like an iPhone's, with a familiar grid of apps, whereas the Fire TV screen is more cluttered, with individual show and movie titles and thumbnails across a bunch of different apps. Roku has better search results too, which clearly show where to watch a show or movie and even how much it costs. Fire TV results are more muddled.
