Before you choose
Check free access and trial terms
Tools on this list include free plans, free software and paid plans with trials. Check whether the free option covers the features you need and whether a trial changes into a paid plan.
Paid starting prices use the maker's stated billing term. Compare that term with your budget before starting a subscription.
Match the software to your devices
Supported platforms listed here include iOS, web, Android, macOS, Windows and API access. Check the platform entry against the device you plan to use for streaming.
A phone-based setup may need iOS or Android support. A computer workflow may call for macOS or Windows support.
Compare output quality and destinations
Maximum output quality shows the highest published video setting for a tool. Compare that figure with the quality your Twitch channel and connection can handle.
Multistream destinations indicate where a service can send a broadcast. Check the destination list if you plan to reach viewers beyond Twitch.
Review scheduling and rebroadcasting
Stream scheduling can help plan broadcasts in advance. 24/7 rebroadcasting refers to services that keep a broadcast running beyond a live session.
Compare these fields with the way you plan to run a channel, especially if you need scheduled or continuous playback.
Check delivery mode and cloud recording
Delivery mode describes how the software handles your stream. Cloud recording indicates whether recordings can be stored online through the service.
Read the maker's current terms for storage and access before relying on cloud recordings.
