LiveReacting Review

LiveReacting combines an interactive browser studio with cloud prerecorded playout. Streams that run nonstop need its separate 24/7 Streaming plan. The standard plans allow unlimited streams, but each stream has a time limit.

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.

Considering an alternative?

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 unattended, nonstop playback of prerecorded video or audio, and an interactive browser studio would only add cost and steps. Streamloop does not replace LiveReacting's guest studio, games or audience tools.

For a nonstop channel, compare Streamloop with LiveReacting's 24/7 Streaming plan, not the standard plans. Those allow unlimited streams a month but cap how long each one runs, and the Free plan allows three streams a month of up to 30 minutes each.

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.

Nonstop streaming is sold separately as the 24/7 Streaming plan, so think of LiveReacting as a studio first.

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

One 1080p30 stream running 24/7 costs $39.99 a month, or $33 a month billed yearly. That includes five destinations, 100 GB of storage and files up to 10 GB each.

At checkout you can pick up to 20 streams at once and pay more for 60 FPS or 4K. The price, storage and discounts change with the number of streams and the quality, so the base price applies only to one 1080p30 stream.

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 paid plans allow unlimited streams each billing period, but each stream has a time limit: one hour on Small, three hours on Medium, eight hours on Large and 24 hours on Enterprise. For a channel that never stops, you need the 24/7 plan.

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?

LiveReacting connects directly to Facebook, YouTube and Twitch. Other services work through custom RTMP, and LiveReacting's own pages disagree on whether Instagram connects directly or through RTMP.

Interactive features such as comments and games may not work the same way on custom RTMP destinations.

Is the KICKSTART2026 discount still current?

Yes, for now. New customers get 45% off the first five monthly payments, or 40% off the first year billed yearly, on the 24/7 plan at 1080p30, until October 31, 2026.

After that date, the standard 24/7 price is $39.99 billed monthly, or $33 a month billed yearly.

When is Streamloop the more relevant alternative?

Streamloop fits better when there are no guests, cameras, polls, games or studio show, and the only job is a prerecorded playlist that plays nonstop.

LiveReacting is the better pick when interactive production is part of the job.
