Start freeStreamYard is a great browser studio, but its plans stop at 3–8 destinations for $44.99–$88.99/month. Livepush multistreams to 30–40+ channels from $15/month, adds SRT ingest and a website player with Akamai CDN delivery on every plan, and runs pre-recorded and 24/7 channels natively. You can even keep StreamYard and let Livepush handle distribution.
No credit card required • Free: 20 hrs/mo to 10 channels • Paid from $15/mo
Streamers, churches, agencies, and media teams use Livepush to carry their multistreams, website players, and 24/7 channels.
Let's be precise about this, because most "StreamYard alternative" articles aren't. StreamYard is a production studio that runs in your browser: guests, scenes, overlays, clips. At that job, it's excellent. Livepush is a distribution platform: it takes one stream and delivers it to 30–40+ channels, your own website, and any RTMP/SRT endpoint, around the clock if you want.
The problem is what StreamYard charges once distribution matters. Core is $44.99/month and multistreams to just 3 destinations. Advanced is $88.99/month for 8. There's no website player you can embed on your own site, live output tops out at 1080p, pre-recorded streams cap at 2–4 hours, and there's no 24/7 channel. Livepush covers all of that from $15/month, and if you love the StreamYard studio, the two work together.
A focused side-by-side of what streamers actually compare: destinations, pricing, output quality, website playback, automation, and production. Both columns include what each platform does well.
| Feature | StreamYard | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Free to use with the full studio, but your video carries a StreamYard logo, streaming time is limited, and only one person can manage the account. | Stream free for 20 hours every month to 10 places at once (YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and so on). A video player for your own website is included, and there's no Livepush logo on your stream. |
| First paid plan | Core: $44.99/mo ($35.99/mo if you pay yearly). Streams in full HD to 3 places at once, removes the logo, and adds AI-made highlight clips. | Pro: $15/mo ($13/mo if you pay yearly). Stream as many hours as you like to 30 places at once; recordings of your streams are kept for 28 days. |
| Higher plans | Advanced: $88.99/mo ($68.99/mo yearly) raises the limit to 8 places and adds webinars. Need more than that? You have to contact their sales team for a custom price. | Creators: $39/mo: 40 places at once, ultra-sharp 4K streaming, and channels that run day and night · Teams: $119/mo for larger operations. |
| Places you can stream to at the same time | 3 on Core, 8 on Advanced. That's the hard limit unless you negotiate a custom Business plan. | 10 / 30 / 40 / more depending on plan — and you can stream to several accounts on the same platform, like 3 YouTube channels and 2 Facebook pages at once. |
| Video quality your viewers see | Live streams top out at full HD (1080p). The "4K" on the Advanced plan only applies to files saved on your computer, not the live stream itself. | Full HD on Pro; from Creators you can stream live in 4K. Livepush passes your video through untouched, so viewers see exactly the quality you send. |
| Player for your own website | Not available. You can't put your live stream on your own site; webinar pages live on StreamYard's website, not yours. | Included on every plan. Paste one snippet of code and your stream plays right on your own site, delivered by Akamai — the same network big broadcasters use — so it stays smooth however many people watch. |
| Ways to send your video in | You broadcast from their studio in your web browser, using your camera or a shared screen. | Works with any streaming software or hardware (OBS, vMix, and others), including SRT — a newer connection type that keeps streams stable on shaky internet. Livepush can even pick up a stream that's already live somewhere else, just from its link. |
| Airing a pre-recorded video as live | Possible, but the video can't be longer than 2 hours (4 hours on the pricier Advanced plan). | Included on every plan. Upload a video, pick a date and time, and it airs as a live stream — your viewers can't tell the difference. |
| Channels that run 24/7 | Not offered. | From Creators ($39/mo), run a channel that never goes offline: your videos play in a loop around the clock, and you can change the lineup without interrupting the stream. |
| Who's allowed to use it | Core and Advanced are officially for individual people only. Companies, churches, and teams are expected to contact sales for a custom-priced Business plan. | Anyone, on any plan — individuals, churches, agencies, companies. Every plan lets you invite 2–15 teammates at no extra cost. |
| Studio for producing your show | Best-in-class. Bring up to 10 guests on screen, add overlays and layouts, make AI highlight clips, and run webinars — all from the browser, nothing to install. | No built-in browser studio. Use free software like OBS — or simply keep StreamYard as your studio and connect it to Livepush for the extra reach. Reading chat from all platforms in one window is included. |

StreamYard's Advanced plan works out to roughly $11 per destination per month, and Core to about $15. Livepush Pro comes to about $0.50, and you're not trading away hours: streaming time is unlimited on every paid plan.
This is the setup we genuinely recommend to StreamYard fans: produce your show in StreamYard, add your Livepush RTMP ingest as a custom RTMP destination, and let Livepush fan that one stream out to 30–40+ channels, your website player, and any custom endpoint. One StreamYard destination slot, all of your reach.
StreamYard can host a webinar page on its own domain, but it has no white-label player for your site. Every Livepush plan, including Free, ships an embeddable HTML5 player delivered over the Akamai CDN, with live chat and real-time analytics.
StreamYard's pre-recorded streams stop at 2 hours on Core and 4 on Advanced, and there's no continuous channel option. The Livepush pre-recorded live scheduler is part of every plan, and 24/7 looping channels start at $39/month.
Whether you're replacing StreamYard or wiring it into Livepush as your studio, setup help is free. We reconnect your channel destinations, configure your encoder or StreamYard custom RTMP output, re-create your schedules, and run a test stream before your first event.
These are different tools, and pretending one replaces the other entirely would be dishonest. Here's our read.
