Direct Cloud Ingest & Multi-Platform Simulcasting Across 30+ RTMP Destinations
Why Creators Switch from Restream.io to Restream Studio
Legacy multistreaming tools lock your growth behind steep paywalls: Restream.io caps free users at 2 channels, burns a promotional watermark onto your stream, and charges $49/month for 8 channels. Restream Studio gives you cleaner video, more channels, and cloud dual-format output for a fraction of the cost.
4 Free Simultaneous Streams With Zero Forced Watermark
Your broadcast belongs to your brand. While Restream.io limits free accounts to 2 destinations and stamps a watermark onto your video, our Free Starter plan gives you 4 simultaneous streams (YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and TikTok) with a 100% clean, watermark-free video feed. We fund the free tier with unobtrusive banner ads inside your private dashboard—never on your viewers' screen.
Simultaneous Dual Format Streaming (16:9 Horizontal + 9:16 Vertical)
Organic discovery on TikTok Live, YouTube Shorts Live, and Instagram Reels requires native vertical video (9:16), while Twitch, Kick, and YouTube desktop viewers expect crisp 16:9 widescreen. Restream Studio's dual format streaming engine delivers both 16:9 and 9:16 simultaneously from a single broadcast session.
Zero-Lag Cloud Encoding Relay (One Upload from OBS)
Running multiple local RTMP outputs inside OBS Studio chokes your residential upload bandwidth and overloads your GPU NVENC encoder during intense games. With Restream Studio, you send one single stream to our dedicated Linux media server, and our datacenter fiber replicates and transcodes your broadcast to every platform with zero dropped frames.
8 Pro Streams for $19/mo & 16 Ultra 4K Streams for $40/mo
Upgrade to Pro for $19/month to unlock 8 simultaneous destinations, a 100% ad-free studio, priority 1080p60 bandwidth, and dual horizontal + vertical output—saving $360/year vs. Restream.io's $49/mo plan. Need 2160p60 Ultra HD? Ultra 4K ($40/month) gives you 16 simultaneous streams up to 15,000 kbps plus automatic Cloud DVR MP4 recording.

"Switched from Restream.io and saved $360 a year right away. I broadcast 1080p60 to Kick, Twitch, and YouTube Live simultaneously from a single OBS output and my gaming PC doesn't drop a single frame."
"Running horizontal 16:9 to YouTube and Twitch while sending vertical 9:16 to TikTok Live from the same studio session tripled my nightly chat activity in three weeks. Best $19/month I spend on my channel."
"Started on the Free Starter tier because I refused to put a watermark over my church and podcast broadcasts. Having 4 simultaneous watermark-free channels for $0 convinced our team to upgrade to Ultra 4K for Cloud DVR."

Frequently Asked Questions About Free Multistreaming
Everything you need to know about our cloud multistreaming relay, watermarks, and dual-format broadcasts.
Is Restream Studio really free with no watermark?
Yes. The Starter plan is $0 forever and includes up to 4 simultaneous streams to YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and TikTok with zero forced video watermarks on your live feed. Free accounts are supported by light banner ads inside your private studio dashboard, never on your public video stream.
Will multistreaming drop my FPS or require double upload speed?
No. You only send one single stream from OBS Studio or your browser to our cloud ingest server. Our Linux media cluster handles all stream duplication, transcoding, and distribution to your destinations, using the exact same local CPU, GPU, and upload bandwidth as a single stream.
How does dual format streaming (16:9 + 9:16) work for TikTok and YouTube?
On the Pro ($19/mo) and Ultra ($40/mo) plans, you can broadcast standard 16:9 widescreen video to YouTube, Twitch, and Kick while simultaneously sending a 9:16 vertical layout to TikTok Live, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels from the same live session.
Does Twitch allow multistreaming to YouTube, Kick, and TikTok?
Yes. Twitch updated its Simulcasting Guidelines to allow Affiliates and Partners to multistream live content simultaneously to YouTube, Kick, TikTok, Facebook, and other platforms, provided you do not show competing platform chat overlays on your Twitch feed.
How does Restream Studio compare to Restream.io pricing?
Restream.io restricts free users to 2 channels with an on-screen watermark and charges $49/month for its Professional 8-channel plan. Restream Studio gives you 4 watermark-free streams for $0/month, 8 streams with dual 16:9 + 9:16 format for $19/month, and 16 streams in 4K 2160p60 with Cloud DVR for $40/month.
Can I record my live streams in the cloud and cancel anytime?
Yes. Cloud DVR recording automatically saves your live broadcasts as downloadable MP4 files. It is included free in the Ultra 4K plan ($40/mo) or available as a +$10/mo add-on for Starter and Pro plans. All Stripe subscriptions are month-to-month and can be canceled with one click.
