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
1Restream logo

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.
2Castr logo

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

3OneStream Live logo

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)

4Playout.video logo

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.

5Upstream logo

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.
6LiveReacting logo

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

7Streamloop logo

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

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/monthand you only pay while it's live. Livepush charges a flat Free; paid from $15/month whether you stream all month or not.

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.
