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. OneStream Live charges a flat Free forever; paid from about $10/mo whether you stream all month or not.

FAQ
Streamloop vs OneStream Live: FAQ
The questions people actually ask before picking one
What is the difference between Streamloop and OneStream Live?
Both stream pre-recorded video, but they optimise for different jobs. OneStream is a multistreaming platform that sends one broadcast to 45+ platforms at once and adds a browser Live Studio with guests. Streamloop is built around always-on channels: upload a video or playlist, loop it around the clock at up to 4K, and pay only for the minutes you stream.
Does OneStream Live include 24/7 streaming?
Yes, but not on a standard paid plan. Continuous 24/7 looping is included with the Enterprise tier or sold as an add-on to the Basic, Standard and Professional plans at $30 per month per concurrent stream. It is documented for YouTube only.
Which one is cheaper for a 24/7 channel?
For a single always-on channel, Streamloop usually costs less because billing is per minute streamed and an idle loop costs nothing. With OneStream you pay for a subscription tier plus the 24/7 add-on on top. Which wins depends on how many destinations you actually need.
Which one is better for multistreaming?
OneStream. It broadcasts to many destinations simultaneously, while Streamloop sends each stream to one destination. If simultaneous reach is your main requirement, OneStream is the better pick; with Streamloop, use separate streams for each platform.
Does either tool support 4K?
Streamloop streams up to 4K with HDR. OneStream caps at 1080p on every plan, including Enterprise.
