Considering an alternative?

Streamloop is built for 24/7 looping

If your goal is a single always-on channel, OneStream asks you to buy multistream reach you may never use, then pay an add-on for the 24/7 loop itself. Streamloop loops your uploaded video or playlist to YouTube and any RTMP destination at up to 4K and HDR, with pay-as-you-go credits or an optional monthly credit plan. Uploads and storage are free, and an idle loop costs nothing.

FAQ

OneStream Live FAQ

Common questions about OneStream Live's features, pricing, and fit

What is OneStream Live?

OneStream Live is a cloud platform that multistreams live and pre-recorded video to 45+ social platforms at once. It includes playlists, scheduling up to 60 days ahead, overlays, unified chat and a browser Live Studio with up to four cameras.

How much does OneStream Live cost?

There is a free-forever plan with two destinations, 720p and 15-minute pre-recorded streams. Paid plans start at roughly $10 per month. The official pricing page renders in Pakistani Rupees, so USD figures come from third-party trackers rather than the vendor.

Does OneStream Live support 24/7 streaming?

Yes, but not on the standard paid plans. OneStream's own FAQ states that 24/7 streaming is included with the Enterprise plan and available as a paid add-on to other plans, at about $30 per month per concurrent stream. It is documented for YouTube only, and a continuous session runs up to 30 days before it needs restarting.

Does OneStream Live support 4K?

No. OneStream Live caps at 1080p on every plan, including Enterprise.

What are the best OneStream Live alternatives?

Streamloop for pay-as-you-go 24/7 looping up to 4K and HDR, Livepush and Restream for broad multistream reach, LiveReacting for a 24/7 loop with an interactive layer, and Castr for TV-style playout.
