Updated October 16, 2026
Open-ended prerecorded playlists compared with a live multistreaming Studio and bounded Upload & Stream events.
| At a glance | Streamloop | Restream |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Plays prerecorded video and audio playlists from the cloud, on its own. | Live multistreaming and a browser studio, plus a separately priced add-on for prerecorded streams with time limits. |
| Continuous prerecorded loop | Yes, with no time limit, as long as you have credit. | No. One video can repeat up to 10 times and run for up to 40 hours. |
| Prerecorded playlist | Play in order, shuffle without repeats, or a custom order in plain words. Edits apply while live, at the next clip. | Up to 40 entries. Restream says its playlists do not support looping, and entries cannot be added, removed, or reordered after playback starts. |
| Browser production studio | No camera, screen, guest, scene, or live-chat production tools. | Yes. Paid plans support up to 10 participants, with scenes, layouts, branding, screen sharing, media, music, and chat. |
| One-to-many multistreaming | Yes. One stream can send to up to 5 destinations at the same time, with at most one YouTube channel connected by login. Each extra destination adds about $6 per 30 days of live streaming at 1080p. | Yes. Core plans allow 2, 3, 5, or 8 simultaneously active channels before Enterprise customization. |
| Destination setup | YouTube through Google sign-in or a stream key. Presets for Twitch, Facebook, X, Kick, TikTok and LinkedIn, plus custom RTMP. | More than 30 integrated destinations can use account authentication or a stream key; custom RTMP, SRT, HLS, or WHIP connections cover other services. |
| Audience engagement | Destination-side engagement only; no unified chat or on-screen comment tools. | Unified cross-platform chat, on-screen comments, QR codes, lower thirds, scrolling text, and other show graphics. |
| Prerecorded quality | Up to 4K60, with HDR to YouTube only. | Marathon Upload & Stream supports up to 1080p; 4K requires the $239 Media add-on. |
| Live and prerecorded mixing | Prerecorded video can use a separate audio playlist, but there is no live guest source. | Studio can play media during produced live shows, but Upload & Stream playlists cannot mix live and prerecorded sources. |
| Recording | Not built for recording live studio shows. | Cloud recording is included in core plans, with duration, retention, local-recording, and separate-track capabilities varying by tier. |
| Pricing structure | Billed per live minute, plus a one-time encoding charge for files that need it. Uploads are free. The first 30 GiB of large-playlist storage is free, then $0.35 per GiB-month while live. | Core multistreaming plans and Upload & Stream are priced separately. Restream says recorded-video streaming is available to all users, with the add-on tier controlling limits. |
| Relevant looping price | About $10 per 30 days at 1080p30. | Looping starts on the Marathon add-on at $79 monthly; 4K prerecorded streaming requires Media at $239 monthly. |

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.
| Quality | 30 fps / mo | 60 fps / mo |
|---|---|---|
| 720p | $5 | $7.50 |
| 1080pMost popular | $10 | $15 |

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, Restream lists: Free core plan; prerecorded looping from $79/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…
Pick Streamloop when your prerecorded channel must stay live on its own, for longer than one event.
- You need an open-ended loop rather than a maximum of 10 repeats or 40 hours.
- A playlist must cycle continuously, and Restream playlists cannot loop.
- Playlist additions, removals, or reordering need to be published while the stream is running.
- Up to 5 destinations per stream is enough, and interactive Studio tools would be unused.
- You want to pay by the minute, upload for free, add a separate audio playlist, or import videos from Google Drive or a link.
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 trialPick Restream if…
Pick Restream when live production, guests, chat, branding, and broad simultaneous distribution are the real job.
- A browser Studio must host guests, screens, scenes, graphics, music, and live audience comments.
- One show must reach more than 5 destinations at the same time.
- Prerecorded segments are scheduled events that fit within 10 repeats, 40 hours, or a 40-video playlist.
- Cloud recording, local tracks, co-production, and live-show workflows matter more than perpetual looping.
- The chosen core plan and Upload & Stream add-on fit the budget and required destination count.
Restream core plans start free, or at $19 a month for Standard. Looping prerecorded video starts with the Marathon Upload & Stream add-on at $79 a month.

FAQ
Streamloop vs Restream: FAQ
The questions people actually ask before picking one
Can Restream run a prerecorded stream 24/7 indefinitely?
No. One video can repeat up to 10 times and run for up to 40 hours. A playlist can hold 40 videos, and Restream says its playlists do not support looping.
For tools that keep looping with no cap, see the best Restream alternatives.
Which Restream tier includes video looping?
Looping begins with the Marathon Upload & Stream add-on at $79 monthly. Premier at $39 monthly does not include looping, while Media at $239 monthly adds a larger library and 4K.
Does Streamloop replace Restream Studio?
No. Restream is the stronger choice for live guests, cameras, screens, scenes, chat, graphics, recording, and distribution to more than 5 destinations. Streamloop is built for unattended prerecorded media, not interactive live production.
Can Restream edit a prerecorded playlist after it starts?
No. Restream's help pages say videos cannot be added, removed or reordered once playback begins. Streamloop lets you publish playlist edits while live, and they take effect after the current clip.
Can Restream mix live guests into an Upload & Stream playlist?
Not inside the prerecorded playlist product; Restream says live and prerecorded sources cannot be mixed there. Its separate browser Studio can combine live participants with media during a produced show.
