Restream
Multistream to 30+ platforms at once from a browser studio, with unified chat and AI repurposing.
About
Restream is a browser-based live streaming platform whose core job is multistreaming: one live or pre-recorded broadcast goes out to YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch, TikTok, and more than 30 destinations simultaneously, while every platform's chat is pulled into a single window. Restream Studio provides the in-browser production side with guests, screen sharing, and overlays, and Upload & Stream lets creators schedule pre-recorded video as if it were live. It plugs into OBS, Streamlabs, Ecamm, and XSplit over RTMP for more advanced setups.
Recent additions keep it current: simultaneous vertical and horizontal streaming, a Webinars add-on, local recording in beta, AI insights inside analytics, AI Clips for repurposing highlights, and even an MCP server so AI assistants can work with it. Pricing is public and tiered: a free plan streams to 2 channels with a watermark, then Standard at $16/month, Professional at $39/month (1080p, 5 channels), and Business at $199/month on annual billing, with AI Clips and Webinars as paid add-ons. Review aggregators show 4.4 to 4.6 out of 5 across roughly 900 verified reviews on Trustpilot, Capterra, and G2.
