Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

Flussonic Media Server is the streaming core behind the vendor's IPTV, surveillance, broadcast and corporate TV products. It ingests, transcodes, records and delivers video over protocols including HLS, WebRTC and SRT. It is built for operators and developers rather than for hosting registered webinars.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Flussonic, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Prices are not published, it has no webinar features, and the vendor steers most buyers to its other products.

Best for IPTV, CCTV and corporate video servers

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published; the page points to a quote and mentions a developer license from $100. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is listed on the pages read, only a sales call or quote. |
| Features | C | Ingest, transcoding, archive and DVR, access protection and clustering. It delivers video only, with no registration or attendee chat. |
| Ease of use | D | A server you install and configure on Linux. |
| Platforms and integrations | D | Linux only, with cloud, Kubernetes and Docker deployment. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Flussonic is for
- Fits if you run an IPTV or CCTV service on your own servers
- Works for teams with Linux admins
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want published prices, as you must request a demo or quote
- Not for you if you want a webinar tool, since there is no registration or chat
- Watch out: the vendor steers most buyers to Watcher, Catena, Mcaster or Agora
- Too heavy for non-technical users, as it runs only on Linux
Good to know
Good for
- Operators running IPTV, OTT or surveillance video services
- Developers who want a streaming core to build a custom product on
- Companies streaming internal events to staff over their own network
Worth knowing
- Prices are not published: the page points to a demo and quote request and mentions a developer license 'from $100' sold at my.flussonic.com.
- It has no registration pages, attendee chat or webinar scheduling; it delivers the video only.
- The vendor steers most buyers to its specialized products (Watcher, Catena, Mcaster, Agora) instead of the bare media server.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
0/60
Other webinar and live streaming tools it is graded above
Flussonic's GPA of 1.2 is higher than 0 of the 60 other webinar and live streaming tools we grade.
It stands best on value for money (C, above 15 of 60) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 61 webinar and live streaming tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Flussonic’s own letter is outlined.
- CValue for moneyAbove 15 of 60

- DPlatforms and integrationsAbove 0 of 60
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Flussonic you would be making live video to hundreds of people at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 60 of the 60 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher.
What you could not
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- Video calls.
- A real app for Linux. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure among them.
What this rests on. Flussonic’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
