How Much Does Restream Cost?
The real price of the multistreaming tool, plan by plan, add-ons included.
Short answer: Restream has a free plan (2 simultaneous channels, but a forced watermark), then paid plans from $16/month on Standard with annual billing ($19 monthly). What drives the bill is not your audience size, it is the number of simultaneous channels, video quality, and add-ons (Clips, seats, workspaces). We walk through every plan and what you really pay for the way you stream.

Restream, the key numbers
What each Restream plan costs

Prices checked June 2026 on restream.io/pricing and cross-referenced across several sources. The Business plan's monthly rate varies by source (from $239 to $299/month), to confirm on the official page; the annual rate is consistently $199/month. Clips, extra seats and workspaces are billed separately (see below).
Restream is paid in add-ons
The plan price only covers basic multistreaming. Restream bills several options on their own, and the bill climbs when you stack them. Here is what each add-on costs.
Multistreaming (the core)
The core product: browser studio, multistreaming to your platforms, guests, scenes. From $16 (Standard) to $199/month (Business) annually. This is the module detailed in the table above.
Clips (short cuts)
Turning your live into short vertical cuts for social is a paid add-on on top of your plan: +$19/month for 50 clips (Standard), +$29/month for 100 (Professional) and +$59/month for 250 (Business). It becomes near-essential if you repurpose your stream into shorts.
Extra seats
Each plan includes few seats (1 on Standard, 2 on Pro and Business). Beyond that, expect $25/seat/month on Standard and Professional. For a team, this adds up fast.
Workspaces
To wall off several brands or clients, workspaces are billed separately: $49/workspace/month on Standard, up to $239/workspace/month on Professional. A key line item if you run multiple accounts.
- Streaming solo to 2-3 platforms? The Standard plan is enough.
- Want 1080p and guests? Move up to Professional.
- Repurposing live into shorts? Add the Clips add-on to your math.
- Working as a team? Budget $25/seat beyond the included seats.
- The watermark only disappears from the paid Standard plan up.
How we size the real cost
Restream's listed price does not tell the whole story, because Clips, seats and workspaces are billed on top. To size the real cost, we start from the plan that covers your usage on annual billing, then add the add-ons you genuinely need. Here are the price levers.
- Simultaneous channels2 (Free) to 8 (Business), the main plan leverTier
- Video quality1080p from Professional up720p to 4K
- Clips add-onBased on clips per month+$19 to 59
- Seats and workspacesPer extra seat or workspace+$25 / 49

Restream's price versus the alternatives
Restream's entry paid plan against StreamYard and Castr, the two multistreaming tools most often compared to it. Models and features differ, here we line up the entry prices.
Entry paid prices checked June 2026. Different models.
Restream
Browser studio + multistream
- Free plan: 2 channels (with watermark)
- Standard, no watermark, from $16/month
- Browser studio, easy guests
StreamYard
Browser production
- Free plan with watermark
- Studio very focused on solo/guest production
- Multistream on the paid plans
Castr
Pure multistream
- Multistream included on every plan
- No built-in browser studio
- Cheaper entry, less production
Entry paid prices checked June 2026 on the official pages. Restream pairs a browser studio with multistreaming, where Castr mostly relays streams cheaply and StreamYard leans on browser production. StreamYard (~$25) and Castr (~$16) prices vary by tier and billing, to confirm on their official pages.
So, is Restream expensive?
Our take after testing it: the entry price is fair and the free plan helps in a pinch, but the real cost depends on add-ons. Here is when it pays off, and how to pay less.
Good value if…
You stream solo or in a small group to 2 to 5 platforms. At $16/month on Standard (no watermark) or $39/month on Professional (1080p, guests, long recording), Restream is one of the simplest ways to multistream cleanly, browser studio included.
Less appealing if…
You stack add-ons. Adding Clips, several seats and workspaces pushes the bill well past the listed price. If you only want to relay a feed with no studio, a pure multistream tool like Castr comes out cheaper.
How to pay less
Restream is an excellent multi-platform live tool at a fair price, as long as you think by usage. Pick the plan that covers your channels and quality, pay annually, and only add Clips or seats if you really need them.
- Pay annually: roughly 16 to 20% off depending on the plan.
- Start on the Free plan to validate, then go paid to drop the watermark.
- Choose your plan by channel count, not by audience size.
- Only turn on the Clips add-on if you truly repurpose live into shorts.
- Watch seats and workspaces: they are what blow up the bill.
Frequently asked questions about Restream pricing
How much does Restream cost per month?
Restream has a free plan that lets you stream to 2 simultaneous channels, but with a forced watermark. Paid plans start at $16/month on Standard with annual billing, or $19/month monthly, which removes the watermark and unlocks a third channel. Above that, Professional runs $39/month ($49 monthly) with 1080p and 5 channels, and Business sits at $199/month annually for 8 channels. The price tracks the number of channels and video quality, not your viewer count. Clips, seats and workspaces are billed on top.How much does Restream cost per year?
With annual billing, the Standard plan works out to about $190/year, Professional to about $470/year and Business to about $2,390/year. Annual billing saves roughly 16 to 20% versus monthly depending on the tier, with Professional offering the biggest discount. If you add options like Clips, count that on top of the plan. Always check the exact price on the official page before paying, since tiers can change.Does Restream have a free plan?
Yes, Restream offers a permanent free plan with no credit card. It lets you stream simultaneously to 2 channels and gives access to the browser studio with guests, scenes and basic overlays. The big limit is the Restream watermark shown on your feed, which only disappears from the paid Standard plan up. The free plan is enough to test the tool or for occasional use, but for serious broadcasting with no forced logo, you need to go paid.How do I remove the Restream watermark?
The Restream watermark is present on the free plan and cannot be removed while you stay free. To remove it, you need to move at least to the Standard plan at $16/month annually ($19 monthly), which drops the logo and also unlocks a third channel and recording. Every paid plan (Standard, Professional, Business) broadcasts with no watermark. It is often the first reason creators who care about their branding switch from free to paid.How much do Clips cost on Restream?
Clips, which turn your live into short cuts for social, are an add-on billed on top of your plan. Expect about $19/month for 50 clips on Standard, $29/month for 100 clips on Professional and $59/month for 250 clips on Business. It becomes near-essential if you repurpose broadcasts into vertical shorts, but pointless if you only do live. Remember to add it to your real budget, as it is not included in any base plan.Is Restream more expensive than StreamYard or Castr?
It depends on what you want. Castr is the cheapest for pure multistreaming, from about $16/month annually, but with no built-in browser studio. Restream starts at the same level ($16/month on Standard) while including its studio. StreamYard, very focused on browser production, is often a bit pricier at the paid entry (around $25/month depending on the tier). If you want to both multistream and produce your live in the browser, Restream offers one of the best price-to-feature ratios out there.How much does Restream cost for a team?
Plans include few seats: 1 on Standard, 2 on Professional and Business. Beyond that, each extra seat costs about $25/month on Standard and Professional. For a team or media outlet that wants 8 channels, a website player and co-producer mode, the Business plan at $199/month annually is the starting point. If you run several brands or clients, also budget for workspaces, billed separately ($49/workspace on Standard, up to $239 on Professional). For larger needs, the custom Enterprise plan adds SSO and SRT ingest.Is there a discount for paying Restream annually?
Yes. Annual billing saves roughly 16 to 20% versus monthly depending on the plan. Standard goes from $19 to $16/month, Professional from $49 to $39/month, and Business to $199/month instead of a higher monthly rate. It is the main way to pay Restream less. The best lever is to combine the annual commitment with the plan that fits your usage most tightly, without paying for channels or add-ons you do not use.What is the difference between Standard and Professional on Restream?
The Standard plan, at $16/month annually, unlocks 3 simultaneous channels, 720p quality, watermark removal and recording up to 6h with 15-day storage, on 1 seat. The Professional plan, at $39/month, moves up to 5 channels, switches to Full HD 1080p with 4K recording, extends recording to 10h and 30-day storage, and adds a second seat, dual format streaming and custom RTMP. In short, Standard suits a solo creator in 720p, while Professional targets those who want 1080p, guests and more channels.Can I cancel Restream easily?
Yes, the subscription is managed from your account and cancels with no long commitment on the monthly plans. If you pay annually, you keep access until the end of the period already paid. One watch-out concerns your recordings and clips: download them before closing your account, as storage is time-limited by plan (15 days on Standard, 30 on Professional). Also check the exact refund terms on the official page before committing to an annual plan.
