Streaming's vertical feeds are marketing locked behind a paywall
Eight major streamers shipped vertical video feeds in 2025 and 2026. Nearly every feed sits behind a paywall as a retention play, but the format's real strength is acquisition.
Roku has its own operating system and developer language, so most tools fall short. Nami was built for it. Changes reach subscribers as soon as you publish them.

| Platform | What it's built on |
|---|---|
| Fire TV | Android |
| Google TV | Android |
| Apple TV | Same foundation as iOS |
| Its own operating system and its own language. |
With its proprietary OS and dedicated hardware, Roku takes more resources to maintain than your other platforms, so Roku changes get less attention.

Subscription-aware insights that put Roku conversion and revenue beside Apple TV, Fire TV, web, and mobile.
The Nami SDK makes Roku a surface your product team controls. Paywalls, onboarding, and experiments update live, without a release. Purchases run through Roku Pay.
This is the largest television audience you can put a paywall in front of, and the most difficult to ship to. Nami takes the engineering dependency out, so Roku subscribers get the same paywalls, onboarding, and experiments you already run everywhere else.
