Livepush - The StreamYard Alternative Built for Reach

StreamYard 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.

Livepush and StreamYard solve different problems

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.

Livepush vs StreamYard: the differences that matter

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 Livepush logo
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.

Do the per-destination math before you renew

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.

  • StreamYard Core $44.99/mo ÷ 3 destinations ≈ $15.00 per destination
  • StreamYard Advanced $88.99/mo ÷ 8 destinations ≈ $11.12 per destination
  • Livepush Pro $15/mo ÷ 30 channels = $0.50 per destination, unlimited hours included
Monthly Cost per Destination JULY 2026
StreamYard Core $44.99 ÷ 3 = $15.00
StreamYard Advanced $88.99 ÷ 8 = $11.12
Livepush Creators $39 ÷ 40 = $0.98
Livepush Pro $15 ÷ 30 = $0.50

Love the StreamYard studio? Keep it. Relay through Livepush.

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.

  • Keep guests, overlays, and scenes in StreamYard; gain 30–40+ destinations without upgrading to Advanced
  • Add your own website as a destination via the Akamai-backed player, which StreamYard can't do
  • Passthrough relay: no re-encoding, no quality loss, no extra upload bandwidth from your studio

Your website is a destination, not an afterthought

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.

  • White-label player with your logo and poster; no StreamYard-style branding pointing viewers elsewhere
  • Akamai CDN delivery that scales with your audience, with no fixed concurrent-viewer cap
  • Password protection, geo-blocking, and domain lock for private or regional streams

Past the 4-hour cap: pre-recorded and 24/7 channels

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.

  • Schedule daily, weekly, or one-off broadcasts with precise start and end times
  • 24/7 looping channels keep you 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?

These are different tools, and pretending one replaces the other entirely would be dishonest. Here's our read.

StreamYard may be the better fit if…

Production in the browser is the whole job.

  • You host guest-heavy shows: up to 10 on-screen guests, backstage, scenes, and overlays with zero encoder setup
  • You want AI clips and repurposing built into the tool you produce with
  • You run On-Air webinars and are happy hosting them on StreamYard's pages
  • 3–8 destinations genuinely cover your distribution needs

Livepush is the better fit if…

Reach, delivery, and automation are the whole job.

  • You stream to many channels at once: 30–40+ instead of 3–8, from $15/month
  • You embed streams on your own website with a white-label, CDN-backed player
  • You need SRT ingest, URL-pull relay, 4K live output, or custom RTMP/SRT endpoints
  • You run pre-recorded, scheduled, or 24/7 automated channels past any 4-hour cap

Switching from StreamYard:
Common Questions

Destinations, pricing, website playback, 4K, automation, and how the two platforms work together.

Is Livepush a good alternative to StreamYard?
It depends on what you're replacing. StreamYard is an in-browser production studio; Livepush is a distribution and delivery platform. If the thing holding you back is StreamYard's 3–8 destination cap, its $44.99–$88.99 monthly pricing, or the lack of a website player and 24/7 channels, Livepush is a strong alternative: 30–40+ simultaneous channels from $15/month, SRT ingest and an Akamai-backed website player on every plan, and native pre-recorded and 24/7 streaming. If you love producing in the browser, you can also keep StreamYard and relay its output through Livepush.
How does Livepush pricing compare to StreamYard pricing?
StreamYard's paid plans are Core at $44.99/month ($35.99/month billed yearly) with 3 multistream destinations, and Advanced at $88.99/month ($68.99/month billed yearly) with 8 destinations. Business plans are quote-only. Livepush Pro is $15/month for 30 simultaneous channels with unlimited streaming hours, Creators is $39/month for 40 channels with 4K and 24/7 channels, and Teams is $119/month. See full details on our pricing page.
Can I use StreamYard and Livepush together?
Yes, and many creators do. StreamYard's Core and Advanced plans support custom RTMP destinations. Add your Livepush RTMP ingest as a custom destination in StreamYard, and Livepush relays that one stream to 30–40+ channels, your website player, and any custom RTMP/SRT endpoint, without using more of your upload bandwidth or StreamYard destination slots.
Does StreamYard have a website embed player?
StreamYard offers hosted On-Air webinar pages on its Advanced plan, but it does not include a white-label player you can embed on your own website. Every Livepush plan, including Free, includes an embeddable HTML5 player delivered over the Akamai CDN, with brand logo, password protection, and geo-blocking on higher tiers.
Can I stream in 4K with StreamYard or Livepush?
StreamYard live streams top out at 1080p; its Advanced plan's 4K applies to local recordings, not to the live output. Livepush supports 4K live streaming from the Creators plan ($39/month) using your own encoder over RTMP or SRT.
Can I run 24/7 or pre-recorded streams like StreamYard's pre-recorded feature?
StreamYard caps pre-recorded streams at 2 hours on Core and 4 hours on Advanced, and has no continuous 24/7 channel feature. On Livepush, pre-recorded live streaming is included on every plan, and 24/7 looping channels with live playlist updates are available from the Creators plan at $39/month.
What does StreamYard do better than Livepush?
In-browser production. StreamYard's studio, with up to 10 on-screen guests, backstage participants, overlays, layouts, AI clips, and On-Air webinars, is one of the best browser studios available, and none of it needs an encoder. Livepush doesn't try to replace that; it's built for encoder-based workflows, delivery, and automation. If your whole show lives in the browser and 3–8 destinations are enough, StreamYard alone may serve you fine.
How do I switch from StreamYard to Livepush?
Create a Livepush account and reconnect your channel destinations; migration help is free. If you produce with OBS or another encoder, point it at your Livepush RTMP or SRT ingest and you're done. If you want to keep producing in StreamYard, add Livepush as a custom RTMP destination instead and let Livepush handle distribution. Support is available via live chat, email, and WhatsApp.
