# Switcher Studio

> Multicamera live streaming from iPhone, iPad and Mac

Switcher Studio is a live video app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that switches between up to nine cameras, adds graphics and remote guests, and multistreams the result to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X and custom RTMP destinations. The Suite plan adds video hosting, embeddable players and watch pages, and ways to charge viewers through tickets, pay-to-view videos and subscriptions. It is mainly a multistreaming and production tool rather than a webinar platform.

## Good for

- Churches and schools streaming services or games with several cameras
- Creators who film and stream from iPhones and iPads
- Selling tickets or subscriptions to live and recorded video

## Worth knowing

- The app runs on Mac, iPhone and iPad only.
- Sales of tickets, pay-to-view videos and subscriptions carry a $0.99 fee per transaction, and selling needs the Suite plan.
- The pricing page gives Studio 2 multistream destinations while the multistreaming page says 5.
- Suite's discounted first month or first year renews at $99 a month or $948 a year, and past payments are not refunded.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Switcher Studio turns a few iPhones and iPads into a multicamera live studio, with graphics, remote guests and streaming to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and more. Suite adds video hosting and ways to sell tickets and subscriptions. It's Apple only, though, and $45 a month billed yearly is a lot next to other streaming tools.

- **Value for money: D.** Studio 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: C.** No 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: C.** Up to nine cameras, live graphics, 5 remote guests, multistreaming, video hosting and ticket sales, which is more than most streaming tools do. But its own pages disagree on whether Studio streams to 2 destinations or 5, and selling needs Suite.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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: C.** Apple 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.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Switcher Studio you would be making one live stream sent to several platforms 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: 11 of the 14 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher. It costs $540 a year.

- You could not: One live stream sent to several platforms at once.
- You could not: A video editor.
- You could not: Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram among them.
