LiveReacting Review

LiveReacting combines an interactive browser studio with cloud prerecorded playout; truly persistent operation is sold through a separate 24/7 Streaming plan rather than implied by standard-plan “unlimited streams.”

Updated August 5, 2026
Starting priceFree; dedicated 24/7 from $39.99/monthStandard paid plans start at $19.99/month but have per-event duration caps. The 24/7 plan is $39.99/month or $33/month annually for one base 1080p30 channel; 4K, 60fps, and additional concurrent 24/7 streams increase the price.

When to consider Streamloop instead of LiveReacting

Choose LiveReacting when the production itself is interactive: browser-based guests, scenes, branding, polls, games, giveaways, comments, camera inputs or live editing. Those capabilities make it more than a prerecorded channel service.

Consider Streamloop when the job is specifically unattended, continuous playback of prerecorded video or audio and an interactive browser studio would add cost or workflow that is not needed. Streamloop is not a substitute for LiveReacting's guest studio, games or audience-interaction tools.

For continuous operation, compare Streamloop with LiveReacting's dedicated 24/7 Streaming plan, not with the lower standard plans. The standard paid plans may allow unlimited stream starts per month while still imposing a maximum duration on each event, and the Free plan is limited to three starts of up to 30 minutes each per month.

FAQ

LiveReacting FAQ

Common questions about LiveReacting's features, pricing, and fit

Is LiveReacting mainly a 24/7 prerecorded streaming service?

It is a hybrid product. LiveReacting's browser Studio supports guests, scenes, cameras, branding, overlays, comments, polls, games and other interactive formats, while its cloud can also schedule and play prerecorded files without leaving a computer on.

Persistent broadcasting is packaged separately as the 24/7 Streaming plan, so the broader Studio category should remain visible in the review.

What does LiveReacting's dedicated 24/7 plan cost?

The current public configuration lists one 1080p30 24/7 stream at $39.99 monthly or $33 per month when billed annually, with five destinations, 100 GB of storage and a 10 GB per-file allowance.

The selector supports up to 20 concurrent streams and paid 60 FPS or 4K upgrades. Price, storage and discounts change with concurrency and quality, so the base figure should not be applied to every configuration.

What limits apply to LiveReacting's Free and standard plans?

The Free plan lists three stream starts per month, a 30-minute maximum per stream, 720p output, 0.5 GB of storage, a 0.5 GB per-file limit and LiveReacting branding.

The normal paid plans advertise unlimited stream starts during the billing period, not unlimited event duration. The documented per-event limits rise from one hour on Small to three hours on Medium, eight hours on Large and 24 hours on Enterprise. The dedicated 24/7 plan is the relevant persistent-channel product.

How flexible is LiveReacting's advanced scheduling?

Advanced Scheduling supports one-time, multi-date and repeating broadcasts, including interval-based or back-to-back runs with gaps. Multi-date and repeat modes require Medium or higher and are included with the 24/7 product.

The planning horizon is four weeks, runs must be at least three minutes apart, and core schedule details cannot be edited after scheduling; the event must be cancelled and recreated.

Which destinations does LiveReacting support?

Facebook, YouTube and Twitch are clearly documented direct integrations. Other services can be reached through custom RTMP, while LiveReacting's own pages give inconsistent descriptions of whether Instagram is a direct integration or an RTMP connection.

A catalog should distinguish confirmed direct connections from RTMP reach and should not promise identical interactive features on every custom endpoint.

Is the KICKSTART2026 discount still current?

No. The 24/7 page still displays a promotion for 45% off the first five monthly payments or 40% off the first annual year, but its stated expiration was July 30, 2026.

Because this review was verified after that date, the promotional price is treated as expired even if the banner remains visible.

When is Streamloop the more relevant alternative?

Streamloop is more directly aligned when there will be no guests, cameras, polls, games or browser-produced show and the only job is a continuously managed prerecorded playlist.

LiveReacting remains the more relevant category choice when interactive production and multistream distribution are part of the same workflow.
