Livepush - A Smarter Restream Alternative for Creators

Livepush goes where Restream's caps stop you: multistream to 30–40+ channels at once (not 3–8), ingest over SRT on every plan, embed a player on your own website with Akamai CDN delivery, and run pre-recorded and 24/7 looping channels, from $15/month.

What's the real difference between Livepush and Restream?

Restream is a polished product, and it's a fair choice if your show is produced inside the browser. Restream Studio's guests, scenes, and overlays are excellent. The differences show up when your priority is reach and delivery.

Restream caps simultaneous channels at 2–8 depending on plan, gates the website embed player behind its $239/month Business plan (with a 1,000-viewer ceiling), and reserves SRT ingest for Enterprise contracts. Livepush streams to 30–40+ channels at once from $15/month, includes SRT and a CDN-backed website player on every plan, and runs pre-recorded and 24/7 looping channels natively, with no add-ons.

Livepush vs Restream: the differences that matter

A focused side-by-side of the things streamers actually compare: channels, pricing, ingest, website playback, automation, and team access. Both columns include what each platform does well.

Feature Livepush logo
Free plan Stream to 2 places at once, and your video carries a Restream logo. Stream free for 20 hours a month to 10 places at once (YouTube, Facebook, and so on). A player for your own website is included, and there's no Livepush logo on your stream.
First paid plan Standard: $19/mo ($16/mo if you pay yearly). Stream to 3 places at once; recordings max out at 6 hours and are kept for 15 days. Pro: $15/mo ($13/mo if you pay yearly). Stream as many hours as you like to 30 places at once; recordings are kept for 28 days.
Higher plans Professional: $49/mo for 5 places · Business: $239/mo for 8 places, the website player, and 2 team logins. Creators: $39/mo for 40 places, ultra-sharp 4K, and channels that run day and night · Teams: $119/mo for larger operations.
Places you can stream to at the same time 2 / 3 / 5 / 8 depending on plan. Need 25 or more? That requires a custom Enterprise contract. 10 / 30 / 40 / more — including several accounts on the same platform, like 3 YouTube channels and 2 Facebook pages at once.
Player for your own website Only on the $239/mo Business plan, and limited to 1,000 people watching at the same time. Included on every plan and delivered by Akamai — the network big broadcasters use — with no fixed limit on how many people can watch. Add your logo, a password, or country blocking on higher tiers.
Stable streaming on rough internet (SRT) Only available on custom Enterprise contracts. Included on every plan. SRT is a newer connection type that automatically re-sends lost pieces of video, so shaky internet doesn't freeze your stream.
Re-broadcasting a stream that's already live Not supported — you have to send your stream to Restream directly. Supported: give Livepush the link of any live stream and it re-broadcasts it everywhere, no streaming software needed.
Airing a pre-recorded video as live Sold separately as a paid add-on, with room for only 2–12 hours of uploaded video; unlimited requires an Enterprise contract. Included on every plan: upload a video, pick a date and time, and it airs as a live stream — no add-on fee.
Channels that run 24/7 Possible through the same paid add-on, within its storage limits. From Creators ($39/mo), run a channel that never goes offline: your videos loop around the clock, and you can change the lineup without interrupting the stream.
Recordings of your streams 6–10 hours recorded per stream, kept for 15–30 days depending on plan. Roughly 6–20 hours per event depending on plan, kept 28 days to 2 months, with one-click download as a normal video file.
Team members 1–2 logins included; each extra person costs $25/month, and separate workspaces start at $49/month each. Every plan includes 2–15 teammate invites at no extra cost.
Studio for producing your show Restream Studio is excellent: bring up to 10 guests on screen, add scenes and overlays, and make AI highlight clips — all in the browser. Built for streaming software like OBS or vMix (or hardware), with chat from all your platforms in one window and an overlay you can drop straight into OBS.

Stream to 30–40+ channels at once, not 3, 5, or 8

Restream's plans cap simultaneous channels at 2–8, and going past that means an Enterprise contract. Livepush multistreaming starts at 10 channels on the Free plan and reaches 30–40+ on paid plans, including several destinations on the same platform at once.

  • YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Kick, and any custom RTMP/SRT destination
  • Multiple destinations per platform, e.g. 3× YouTube channels plus 2× Facebook pages simultaneously
  • Passthrough relay with no re-encoding, no quality loss, and no extra upload bandwidth

SRT ingest without the enterprise gate

Restream reserves SRT ingest and custom SRT destinations for Enterprise contracts. On Livepush, SRT is included on every plan alongside RTMP, RTMPS, and RTSP. And if your source is already live somewhere, Livepush can pull it straight from an HLS, RTMP, or SRT URL.

  • SRT ingest on all plans for stable, low-latency contribution over rough networks
  • Custom RTMP and SRT outputs to any endpoint: partner CDNs, TV headends, Wowza, Mux
  • URL-pull ingest: relay an existing HLS/RTMP/SRT feed without touching an encoder

Pre-recorded live and 24/7 channels: built in, not an add-on

Restream's Upload & Stream is a separate paid add-on with a 2–12 hour upload library, and unlimited use requires an Enterprise deal. On Livepush, the pre-recorded live scheduler is part of every plan, with 24/7 looping channels from Creators at $39/month.

  • Schedule daily, weekly, or one-off broadcasts with precise start and end times
  • 24/7 looping channels: your channel stays on-air without you present, in up to 4K
  • Update playlists mid-broadcast; changes apply live with no stream restart

Which platform actually fits you?

No platform wins every use case, and pretending otherwise wastes your time. Here's our honest read.

Restream may be the better fit if…

Livepush is the better fit if…

Your priority is reach, delivery, and automation.

  • You embed streams on your own website and don't want a $239/mo gate or a 1,000-viewer cap
  • You need SRT ingest, custom RTMP/SRT outputs, or URL-pull without an enterprise contract

Common Questions

Channels, pricing, website playback, SRT, automation, and where each platform honestly wins.

Is Livepush a good alternative to Restream?
Yes, if you've outgrown channel caps and Studio-gated features. Livepush streams to 30–40+ channels at once on paid plans (versus 3–8 on Restream), includes SRT ingest and a website player on every plan, and runs pre-recorded and 24/7 looping channels natively. Restream remains a strong choice if you produce your show in the browser with Restream Studio, guests, and overlays. If your priority is reach, automation, and streaming to your own website, Livepush typically includes more for less.
How does Livepush pricing compare to Restream pricing?
Restream's paid plans run $19/month (Standard, 3 channels), $49/month (Professional, 5 channels), and $239/month (Business, 8 channels), with extra team seats at $25/seat/month. Livepush starts at $15/month (Pro) with unlimited streaming hours to 30 channels at once, Creators is $39/month with 40 channels, 4K, and 24/7 channels, and Teams is $119/month for professional operations. Every Livepush plan bills monthly with no add-on fees for pre-recorded streaming. See full details on our pricing page.
How many channels can I stream to at once?
On Livepush: 10 channels on the Free plan, 30 on Pro ($15/month), 40 on Creators ($39/month), and custom counts on Teams, including multiple destinations per platform (for example 3× YouTube plus 2× Facebook). On Restream, simultaneous channels are capped at 2 (Free), 3 (Standard), 5 (Professional), and 8 (Business); 25+ channels require an Enterprise contract. See our multistreaming feature page for the full destination list.
Can I embed my live stream on my own website?
Yes. Every Livepush plan, including Free, includes an embeddable website player delivered over the Akamai CDN, with no fixed concurrent-viewer cap. Higher plans add brand logo and poster, password protection, and geo-blocking. On Restream, the website embed player is only included on the Business plan ($239/month) and is limited to 1,000 concurrent viewers.
Does Livepush support SRT ingest?
Yes. SRT ingest is included on every Livepush plan, alongside RTMP, RTMPS, and RTSP, plus the ability to pull a live feed directly from an HLS, RTMP, or SRT URL with no encoder push required. On Restream, SRT ingest and custom SRT destinations are available only on Enterprise plans.
Can I run 24/7 or pre-recorded live streams with Livepush?
Yes. Pre-recorded live streaming is built into every Livepush plan, and from the Creators plan ($39/month) you can run continuous 24/7 looping channels with scheduled playlists that update on the fly without restarting the stream. On Restream, pre-recorded streaming (Upload & Stream) is a separate paid add-on with upload libraries capped at 2–12 hours; unlimited Upload & Stream requires an Enterprise contract.
What does Restream do better than Livepush?
Restream Studio is a strong in-browser production tool: up to 10 on-screen guests, scenes, overlays, QR codes, co-producer mode, and dual-format horizontal-plus-vertical streaming. Restream also offers AI-generated clips and video transcription as add-ons, and enterprise options like SSO and dedicated infrastructure. If you produce your entire show in the browser and want built-in clipping, Restream is a reasonable fit. Livepush is optimized for encoder-based workflows, delivery, and automation.
How do I migrate from Restream to Livepush?
Migration assistance is free. Create a Livepush account, and our team helps you reconnect your channel destinations, move your custom RTMP/SRT endpoints, re-create your schedules and playlists, and run a test stream before your first live event. Most Restream migrations are completed within a day, and support is available via live chat, email, and WhatsApp throughout.
