How we grade them
| 2.4GPAMevoFair | 1.8GPASwitcher StudioWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BMevo Pro is $19 a month or $149 a year, about $12.40 a month, at the low edge of the category. | DStudio is $45 a month billed annually ($65 by the month). Its pricing page gives Studio 2 destinations while its multistreaming page says 5, so three platforms may need Suite at $79. Either way, that's around three to five times what Ecamm and Castr charge for the same job. |
| Free plan and trial | BMevo Studio is free, with multicam sync, graphics and one destination, plus a 14-day Pro trial. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial on Mac or iOS, and the listing doesn't say whether it asks for a card. There's also a 7-day pass for $35 if you only have one event. |
| Features | CMulticam switching, graphics, Mevo Go and NDI|HX. Multistreaming and NDI output need Pro, and it is not a webinar tool. | CUp to nine cameras, live graphics, 5 remote guests, multistreaming, video hosting and ticket sales. But its own pages disagree on whether Studio streams to 2 destinations or 5, and selling needs Suite. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You pair cameras and a second device before use. | CNo App Store rating on record. It's an app you install, but the point is wiring up several cameras, graphics templates and destinations, so expect some setup before the first stream. |
| Platforms and integrations | CiPhone and Android only, with a link to Streamlabs and NDI|HX. | CApple only: Mac, iPhone and iPad. It streams to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X and custom RTMP, sells through Stripe and Shopify, and the iOS app can be your camera in Zoom, Teams or Meet. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
