Our take

Restream is what you reach for when your show needs to land on six places at once. It's gotten meaningfully pricier, and YouTube and TikTok now multistream natively, which has eaten some of the moat. Still the right call if you're broadcasting to four-plus destinations and want one place to manage it all.

In depth

Restream is a browser-based multistreaming platform that pushes one live feed to many destinations at once — YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch, TikTok, X, and roughly 25 other channels. It's been the default in this category for years and gets used by coaches, course creators, marketing teams, and live podcast hosts who want broader reach without juggling parallel encoders.

The free plan streams to 2 channels with a Restream watermark; usable for testing, not for shipping. Paid plans run Standard at $16/mo annual ($19 monthly) for 3 channels, no watermark, and custom graphics; Professional at $39/mo annual ($49 monthly) for 5 channels, 1080p, and team access; and Business at $199/mo annual ($299 monthly) for 8 channels, SRT ingest, and web player access.

A 7-day free trial covers premium features. Restream Studio is the in-browser broadcasting layer — bring on guests, drop in overlays and lower-thirds, share screens, and stream without ever opening OBS.

The trade-off versus StreamYard is breadth versus polish: Restream connects to more places, StreamYard's studio is nicer to be inside. And native multistreaming from YouTube Live, TikTok Live, and others has chipped at the unique value over time.

If you only need one or two destinations, you don't need this. If you genuinely need four or more — or you want studio plus distribution in a single tool — Restream is still the cleanest answer.
