Free plan forever, no card required. The branded player, recording and 24/7 support are part of paid plans, from USD 25/month.

What does our streaming server include?

One input signal and every output your audience needs, managed from a single panel.

  • RTMP and SRT ingest

    Connect OBS, vMix, Wirecast, LiveU Solo, FFmpeg or a hardware encoder.

    For browsers, apps, Smart TVs and compatible players.

  • Recording and VOD library

    Record your live streams and publish them on demand.

What a demo does not show, but keeps your stream running in production.

  • 99.995% contractual SLA

    If the engine or an HLS session freezes, the system restarts it on its own and your encoder reconnects unattended.

  • Public status

    Availability measured externally every minute and published on a public status page.

  • 24/7 support

    Streaming engineers via WhatsApp and ticket, every day.

  • Operating since 2011

  • Standard protocols

    RTMP and SRT in, HLS out: no lock-in.
