Be.Live vs Restream (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Be.Live if

• Fits if you stream the same show to Facebook and YouTube at once
• Works for sellers running live sales streams, including Amazon Live

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want registration pages, polls or attendee follow-up, because it has none
• Watch out: no prices are published where we could read them, so the cost is a surprise until you sign in
• Tight if you plan to stay free, since the free plan's limits are not stated and multistreaming and multiple guests are paid features
• Not for you if you may want a refund: the yearly subscription is non-refundable and cancelling means contacting support

Pick Restream if

• Fits if you go live on YouTube, Twitch and LinkedIn at the same time and want their comments in one place
• Works for streamers who already use OBS and want one feed sent to several channels

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want 1080p from the browser studio without paying for Professional at $49 a month
• Pricey if you mostly want webinars: $99 a month for 100 attendees on top of the plan, or $299 for 500 on Business
• Tight if you're staying free, with Restream branding, only 2 channels and no cloud recording
• Watch out: recordings are kept 15 days (30 on Business), and extra seats are $25 a month each, sold only on Professional and Business
• Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, since it's web only

Be.Live

• The plan prices could not be read: the pricing page loads its figures only inside the web app, and the help center states none, so none are recorded here.
• Its help center names Starter, Growth, Standard+ and Pro plans; features such as multistreaming, custom branding and multiple guests are described as paid features.
• The yearly subscription is non-refundable, per the help center, and cancelling is done by contacting support.
• It is built for social streaming and live sales, not for webinars with registration pages.

Restream

• Studio streams at 720p on Free and Standard; 1080p needs Professional, and recordings are kept 15 days (30 on Business).
• Extra team seats cost $25 a seat a month and are sold only on Professional and Business.
