Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 3 of the 60 other webinar and live streaming tools we grade
Resi is a live streaming service built around its Resilient Streaming Protocol, which sends video from an encoder to Facebook, YouTube, a website or apps. It is aimed at churches, schools, athletics, government and corporate events, with plans for single-site, multisite and on-demand video.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Resi, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Nothing is free, and it isn't a webinar tool.
- 1
Best for dependable live streaming of church and school events
Resi sends video from an encoder to YouTube, Facebook, a website or apps using its own streaming protocol.
- 2
Paid plans start at $99 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $99 per month, billed annually ($119 billed monthly).
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Resilient Streaming Protocol
Sends the stream through the vendor's own protocol to Facebook, YouTube, a website or apps; the plans differ in where it can go.
- 5
Scheduling and presets
Events can be organized with presets and automated scheduling, and stored video can be rebroadcast as simulated live from Starter Lite.
- 6
Cloud transcoding
Starter Lite and Pro include 3 adaptive bitrate levels; Enterprise goes up to 8, per the pricing page.
- 7
A 1.6 GPA, above 3 of 60
That is against the other webinar and live streaming tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Resi 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.

The report card
Best for dependable live streaming of church and school events
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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.

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