Resi sends video from an encoder to YouTube, Facebook, a website or apps using its own streaming protocol. The cheapest plan is $99 a month and only streams to social sites, so a website or app means Starter Lite at $159 or Pro at $299. Nothing is free, and it isn't a webinar tool. - **Value for money: D.** $99 a month annually for social-only, but streaming to a website or apps needs $159 or $299. The category's dearer quarter starts at $99 and the dearest tenth at $167. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free on record: no free plan and no trial. A non-profit discount exists but its rates aren't shown. - **Features: C.** Scheduling, cloud transcoding, analytics and multisite overflow. It does the event streaming job, though not webinar registration, polls or attendee chat. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It needs an encoder set up and pointed at your outlets. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but it connects to Facebook, YouTube and ProPresenter. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

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: 52 of the 60 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher. It costs $1,188 a year. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Live video to hundreds of people at once. - You could not: One live stream sent to several platforms at once. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Facebook, YouTube and ProPresenter among them, and has an API.
