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 are live. Optional monthly credit plans are also available. Below is the cost of a stream running nonstop for a full 30 days.

Metered by the minute, so a week of streaming costs about a quarter of these figures, and a day about a thirtieth. Files that need encoding add a one-time ~$0.005 per minute of encode time; files that are ready to stream skip it. Uploads and idle loops are free, and so is the first 30 GiB of large-playlist storage.

A 1080p stream running 24/7 on Streamloop is about $10/month, and you only pay while it is live. For comparison, LiveReacting lists: Free; dedicated 24/7 from $39.99/month.

Which should you pick?

When each tool is the right call

There is no objective winner, only which tool fits your actual job.

Pick Streamloop if… logo

Pick Streamloop if…

Pick Streamloop when you need low-cost, unattended playlist streaming, not an interactive show studio.

  • Your content is prerecorded video or audio and does not need live guests, cameras, audience games, or comment overlays.
  • Five destinations per stream are enough, and $6 per 30 days at 1080p for each one after the first is acceptable.
  • You prefer paying by the minute, only while live, to a fixed 24/7 subscription.
  • You want to set the play order in plain words, add a separate audio playlist, import from Google Drive or a link, and change the playlist while live.
  • You do not want to pay for guest seats or interactive tools that the channel will not use.

Streaming is billed by the minute, only while live: one 24/7 stream at 1080p is about $10 per 30 days. Start with a $1 trial week, which becomes a monthly plan unless you cancel, or top up and pay as you go.

Start the $1 trial
Pick LiveReacting if… logo

Pick LiveReacting if…

Pick LiveReacting when the channel mixes prerecorded video with guests, branding or audience interaction.

  • You produce live interviews, webinars, shows, or audience-participation formats in a browser.
  • You will use polls, trivia, giveaways, countdowns, comments, scenes or the AI host.
  • One production must reach more than 5 destinations at once (up to 20 on Enterprise, where each stream runs up to 24 hours).
  • The 24/7 plan's 100 GB of storage, 1080p30 output and 5 destinations fit the channel.
  • You want shows that air on a list of dates or on repeat, planned up to 30 days ahead.

LiveReacting's 24/7 plan is $39.99 a month, or $396 a year, at 1080p30; 4K, 60 FPS and more streams cost more.

FAQ

Streamloop vs LiveReacting: FAQ

The questions people actually ask before picking one

Is LiveReacting a direct Streamloop alternative?

Only its 24/7 Streaming plan is. That plan plays prerecorded video nonstop, like Streamloop. LiveReacting's other plans and its browser studio are built for interactive live shows, a different job.

Can a normal LiveReacting plan run forever?

No. Each stream on the other plans has a time limit, from 30 minutes on Free to 24 hours on Enterprise. Nonstop streaming is sold as the separate 24/7 Streaming plan.

Which service is better for live guests and interactive shows?

LiveReacting. It provides browser guests, cameras, scenes, branding, comments, polls, trivia, giveaways, and other production tools. Streamloop has no browser guests or screen sharing; camera feeds work only through Live Scenes, its mode for live inputs.

Does LiveReacting's four-week scheduling limit apply to its 24/7 channel?

Not to how long the stream runs. The window is how far ahead you can schedule: a list of dates up to 30 days ahead, or up to 50 repeats within 30 days. Once a 24/7 stream is running, it has no time limit.

Which is better for several destinations at once?

LiveReacting is the better fit for many destinations: its base 24/7 plan includes five, and the Enterprise plan allows up to 20. Streamloop also sends one stream to up to 5 destinations, but each one after the first adds $6 per 30 days at 1080p while live.
