Livepush alternatives

7 Best Livepush Alternatives for Multistream Distribution and Cloud Playlists (2026)

Updated August 5, 2026

Livepush is primarily a multistream distribution and cloud-playout platform. It can relay live RTMP or SRT ingest to many destinations and can also schedule uploaded videos, playlists, recurring broadcasts, and continuous channels without keeping an encoder online.

Current monthly prices are $15 for Pro, $39 for Creators, and $119 for Business; annual equivalents are $13, $33, and about $102 per month. The key gate is that 24/7 scheduling and video looping begin on Creators, not Pro.

Livepush offers a simple webcam input but does not document a Restream-style multi-guest production studio. The alternatives therefore separate three buyer intents: live Studio, multistream distribution, and persistent prerecorded playout.

Official pricing, product pages, and help documentation were last checked on August 5, 2026. The rankings do not imply hands-on testing.

★ Our pick

Streamloop

Usage-based autonomous prerecorded playlists to one YouTube or compatible RTMP destination per stream.

Starts at

From $4.02 per 30 live days at 720p/24fps

Best for

Usage-based autonomous prerecorded playlists to one YouTube or compatible RTMP destination per stream.

Streamloop turns prerecorded video and audio playlists into cloud streams at up to 4K60, including HDR where supported. Each stream sends to one managed YouTube connection or compatible RTMP destination; reaching several platforms requires separate streams rather than one-to-many fan-out.

What's good

Usage billing with exact resolution/frame-rate rates and no charge while idle
Ordered, non-repeating shuffle, and rule-based custom playlists
Published playlist edits take effect at the next clip boundary without restarting
Managed YouTube OAuth plus arbitrary compatible RTMP endpoints
Google Drive, Dropbox, YouTube, and direct-URL imports
Documented REST, GraphQL, and OAuth-protected MCP interfaces

Where it's not a fit

No one-feed-to-many-destinations fan-out, live ingest, browser Studio, or hosted player.
It is a playout specialist, not a Livepush distribution replacement.

Eligible new accounts may receive starter credits without a card; no guaranteed public amount or duration

Start with Streamloop

Restream

Browser Studio, guests, unified chat, branding, and mainstream live multistreaming.

Starts at

Free core plan; prerecorded looping from $79/month

Best for

Browser Studio, guests, unified chat, branding, and mainstream live multistreaming.

Restream is primarily a live multistreaming platform and browser Studio. Upload & Stream can schedule prerecorded videos and playlists, but it is not a perpetual 24/7 looper: an individual event is capped at 10 loops and 40 hours, while playlists cannot loop and are capped at 40 entries and 24 hours.

What's good

Mature one-to-many distribution to 30 integrated platforms plus custom endpoints
Full browser Studio with guests, scenes, graphics, screen sharing, and chat
Scheduled prerecorded events are available through dedicated add-ons
Marathon supports 1080p looping and Media supports 4K
Business and Enterprise add stronger production and reliability controls

Where it's not a fit

Uploaded-video looping is capped at 10 plays and 40 hours, while playlists are capped at 24 hours.
Persistent prerecorded use requires a separate Upload & Stream add-on.

Permanent Free plan; not a time-limited free trial

Castr

Broader multistreaming, hosted video, APIs, monetization, TV playout, and delivery infrastructure.

Starts at

Core plans from $19.99/month; infinite looping from $199.99/month

Best for

Broader multistreaming, hosted video, APIs, monetization, TV playout, and delivery infrastructure.

Castr is a broad live-video platform rather than a focused looper. Premium and higher can run infinitely looping MP4 playlists through Pre-Recorded Live, while TV Playout offers structured scheduling, live inputs, EPG, and larger playlists but limits loops to 15 or 30 days.

What's good

Broad multistreaming, hosted VOD, player, monetization, and API stack
Documented infinite Pre-Recorded Live looping on Premium and above
Account-wide delivery to 6–30 destinations depending on plan
TV Playout adds scheduling, live inputs, breaks, and EPG on higher tiers
Cloud Production provides browser-based switching and external URL overlays

Where it's not a fit

It is far more expensive when the only requirement is infinite prerecorded looping.
Cloud Production is not a direct substitute for a guest-centric browser Studio.

Free trial available; Trial TV Playout output is branded

OneStream Live

A broad browser Studio and multistreaming suite with scheduled prerecorded events and a separate 24/7 option.

Starts at

Free forever; paid from about $10/mo

Best for

A broad browser Studio and multistreaming suite with scheduled prerecorded events and a separate 24/7 option.

OneStream Live is a mature multistreaming platform that also streams pre-recorded video as scheduled or looping live broadcasts to 45+ platforms, with playlists, scheduling up to 60 days, overlays, a browser Live Studio, and cloud import from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and more. It caps at 1080p, and true 24/7 looping is gated behind Enterprise or a per-stream add-on.

What's good

Genuine pre-recorded looping with playlists and scheduling up to 60 days ahead
Very broad reach: multistream to 45+ platforms simultaneously
Generous free-forever tier with no credit card
Mature product with overlays, a browser Live Studio, unified chat and recording
Cloud import from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, pCloud, Box and S3
Consistently strong support: named agents, live chat, and long-tenured users reporting four to five years without switching

Where it's not a fit

Its persistent 24/7 entitlement is separately gated from standard scheduled-video plans.
Published pricing surfaces have inconsistent localized rendering, so checkout should be confirmed.

Free forever plan, no card (720p, 2 destinations, 15-min pre-recorded)

Playout.video

Calendar-programmed 24/7 channels, fallback content, browser Studio, and live takeover workflows.

Starts at

Free; persistent channels from $29/month

Best for

Calendar-programmed 24/7 channels, fallback content, browser Studio, and live takeover workflows.

Playout.video combines persistent cloud playlists, recurring calendar programming, fallback content, and a full browser Live Studio. A programmed channel can continue behind a live takeover and resume afterward, while standard plans multistream to two through ten simultaneous destinations.

What's good

Creator provides a persistent 24/7 channel from $29/month
Channel adds recurring calendar execution, fallback, and auto-start/stop
Full browser Live Studio with guests, screen sharing, layouts, and recording
Hybrid live takeover can sit over an autonomously progressing playlist
Broad native and custom RTMP destination support

Where it's not a fit

Standard plans top out at 10 simultaneous destinations rather than Livepush's higher advertised capacity.
Calendar execution starts on Channel at $49 monthly.

Permanent Free plan; no time-limited trial. Free sessions stop after five hours and include a watermark.

Upstream

A visual stream designer, browser studio, persistent prerecorded channel, and up to 10 destinations.

Starts at

From $24/mo yearly / $30/mo monthly

Best for

A visual stream designer, browser studio, persistent prerecorded channel, and up to 10 destinations.

Upstream is a YouTube Verified software encoder for 24/7 streams, with a Canva-like Stream Designer for overlays, embedded websites and widgets, plus multistreaming to up to 10 destinations.

What's good

YouTube Verified software encoder
Stream Designer: overlays, embedded websites, widgets, custom fonts
Multistream to up to 10 destinations
Well-reviewed, responsive chat support
Up to 100GB storage on higher plans (65GB on Lite)

Where it's not a fit

Its destination scale is lower than Livepush's published Pro, Creators, and Business totals.
The free tier is limited to 24 streaming hours per month.

Free plan, 24 hours/month, no card

LiveReacting

Interactive browser production plus a dedicated 24/7 plan with multiple destinations.

Starts at

Free; dedicated 24/7 from $39.99/month

Best for

Interactive browser production plus a dedicated 24/7 plan with multiple destinations.

LiveReacting combines a full browser studio and interactive show tools with cloud prerecorded uploads and a separate persistent 24/7 product. Normal paid tiers allow unlimited monthly starts but remain limited to one, three, eight, or 24 hours per event; destination counts are not independent program concurrency.

What's good

Full browser studio with guests, scenes, layouts, branding, and live editing
Games, polls, trivia, giveaways, comments, countdowns, and AI Host features
Cloud prerecorded streaming with playlists and advanced schedules
Direct YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch integrations plus custom RTMP
Dedicated 24/7 tier with configurable quality and concurrency

Where it's not a fit

Its destination capacity is lower than Livepush's high-end distribution positioning.
The base continuous plan starts at $39.99 monthly for one stream.

Permanent Free plan: 3 streams/month, up to 30 minutes each, 720p

Real cost

What a 24/7 stream actually costs, by quality

Streamloop bills by the minute — pick a resolution and frame rate and pay only while you're live. Optional monthly credit plans are also available. Below is the cost of a stream running nonstop for a full 30 days.

Quality	30 fps / mo	60 fps / mo
720p	$5	$8
1080pMost popular	$10	$15
1440p (2K)	$20	$30
4K (2160p)	$30	$45

720p

30 fps: $5
60 fps: $8

1080p

1440p (2K)

30 fps: $20
60 fps: $30

4K (2160p)

30 fps: $30
60 fps: $45

Metered by the minute, so a week of streaming costs about a quarter of these figures, and a day about a thirtieth. Plus a one-time ~$0.005 per minute of video to encode it once. Uploads, storage, and idle loops are free.

A 1080p stream running 24/7 on Streamloop is about $10/month — and you only pay while it's live. Livepush charges a flat Free; paid from $15/month whether you stream all month or not.

Decision guide

Which one should you choose?

A quick decision framework based on what you actually need.

High destination capacity plus continuous cloud playlistsLivepush · Creators and Business keep Livepush's distribution-first model while adding 24/7 prerecorded automation.

A full browser Studio with guests and chatRestream · Restream is the stronger production interface when indefinite looping is not the main job.

Hosting, monetization, APIs, and broad video infrastructureCastr · Castr extends beyond social distribution into delivery and OTT-oriented capabilities.

Calendar programming with fallback and live takeoverPlayout.video · Its persistent channel model is more explicitly TV-like than Livepush's queue and scheduler.

Interactive games, polls, and a continuous streamLiveReacting · It trades destination scale for deeper browser interaction features.

A designer, Studio, and persistent creator channelUpstream · Upstream is a balanced hybrid for teams that do not need Livepush's highest destination counts.

A low-overhead single-destination prerecorded loopStreamloop · It is intentionally narrower and usage-priced, without multistream distribution.

FAQ

Livepush alternatives: FAQ

The questions people actually ask before switching

Which Livepush alternative has the best browser Studio?

Restream is the clearest Studio-first alternative for guests, chat, scenes, and branding. LiveReacting adds interactive games and polls, while Playout.video and Upstream combine Studio tools with persistent channel workflows.

Does Livepush Pro include 24/7 streaming?

No. Pro currently includes paid multistreaming and prerecorded capacity but not the dedicated 24/7 schedule channel or video looping. Those features begin on Creators at $39 monthly or $33 per month billed annually.

What is the best Livepush alternative for TV-style scheduling?

Playout.video is the strongest fit when you need recurring calendar blocks, fallback programming, automated start and stop, playlist swaps, and browser Studio takeovers within one channel.

Can Streamloop replace Livepush?

Only for single-destination prerecorded playout. Streamloop does not relay one feed to many platforms, accept live RTMP or SRT ingest, or provide Livepush's hosted-player and distribution products.

Which alternative is broader than Livepush?

Castr is broader when the requirement includes hosted VOD, monetization, APIs, players, CDN delivery, and TV playout. That breadth also makes it more expensive and more involved than a distribution-only service.
