Pros

“Eventually, we had to set up our own servers for stream encoding and switched to another provider for passthrough.”
KS

Kelly S.

CTO

“Easy to use with good overall ideas. If the encoders worked properly and they had more CDNs—especially for better distribution in South America—it could grow into a great service.”

CTO

“Using it as a "set it and forget it" platform for live streaming our church services has provided a cost effective solution that helped us navigate the COVID days, and continues to provide a convienence to our church members.”

Technology and AV Director

Pros

“As a producer and streamer Restream is one of my best companion apps to par with my streaming/switcher apps.”
PM

Paulo M.

Producer

“What I don’t like about Restream is the price, since there’s a lot of platforms that offer the multi-streaming option but again the benefits are worth it.”
PM

Paulo M.

Producer

“With this software you can easily interact with your audience in real ltime and drive action in your live stream.”

Elizabeth F.

Content Producer and Strategist

Cons

“They have a auto renew membership with no consent policy before they charge. And there is no way for a customer to cancel it even on the same day you get charged.”
NY

Nayeon Y.

Visual Artist

“I would strongly caution others to be careful with their subscription terms and monitor billing closely.”
KS

Kelly S.

CTO

“It doesn't feel like a professional service.”

Cons

“Sometimes, there are considerable delays on certain social media platforms, alongside with frame drops.”
MS

MikeToon S.

CEO

“I apparently signed up for a paid subscription a few years ago. Upon going back through my old emails, I see it never worked properly.”

“I am going to American Express Platinum and filing a complaint bad business practices.”
