Before you choose
Match the platforms you use
Check support for web, iOS, Android, Windows and macOS before you choose. An API option can matter if the service needs to connect with your own software.
Tools such as PRISM Live Studio, Streamlabs Mobile and mimoLive represent different platform approaches, so confirm the fit for your setup.
Start with the access model
Look for a free plan or a freemium model if you want to begin without a paid commitment. OneStream Live lists a free plan with paid service from $15 per month. Streamlabs Mobile lists a free plan with paid service from $15.75 per month on an annual plan.
A trial can give you a separate way to evaluate paid features. OnTheFly.Stream lists a seven-day trial.
Check how streams reach viewers
Compare multistreaming, pre-recorded streams and 24/7 looping when your schedule or audience spans more than one destination.
Custom RTMP destinations can matter when a platform you need is not built into the service.
Review production and follow-up tools
A browser-based studio can simplify setup without a desktop app. Cloud recording can preserve a broadcast for later use, while unified chat can bring viewer messages into one place.
Use these fields to compare tools such as Restream, Riverside and OneStream Live against the workflow you want.
Questions
Can I use a free plan?

Which platforms should I check?

Pre-recorded streams are included as a comparison field. Check the individual tool's listing for support.
