Restream's own pricing page states its multistreaming limits

The setup

Restream is a hosted service that takes a single incoming stream, commonly from OBS, and republishes it to multiple platforms simultaneously, a pattern usually called multistreaming. As retrieved on 16 September 2026, Restream's own site states it distributes 'one live video' to '30+ destinations' and that the service works with existing broadcast software rather than replacing it, meaning a creator's OBS scene setup does not change to add multistreaming.

What the documents show

Restream's own pricing page documents four self-serve tiers as retrieved: a Free plan streaming to two channels at once with Restream branding included; a Standard plan at $19 per month for three channels and guest channels; a Professional plan at $49 per month for five channels, 1080p streaming and dual horizontal-and-vertical streaming; and a Business plan at $239 per month for eight channels, a website player and co-producer access, with a custom Enterprise tier above that. The same page's FAQ section states specific technical claims plainly: Restream reports no additional bandwidth requirement to multistream regardless of destination count, no bitrate limits of its own, and that 'any additional delay experienced during streaming is always under 2 seconds,' a figure the page states does not change with the number of connected channels.

The craft

In practice, a creator points one OBS output at Restream's ingest, which the multistreaming product page describes as requiring no changes to an existing streaming setup, and then selects which connected platform accounts receive the feed. The tier a creator needs is set by how many destinations they actually stream to at once and whether they need Full HD 1080p output or the added guest-channel and co-producer features documented at the Professional and Business levels, not by which platforms specifically are involved.

Keeping the creator in control

Because Restream's own pricing page states the free tier includes only two simultaneous channels and adds Restream's own branding to the stream, a creator staying on the free plan should read that as a stated trade-off, not a limitation to discover mid-broadcast. The FAQ's own answers on delay and bandwidth are Restream's disclosed figures for its own service, not an independently measured benchmark, so a creator citing 'under two seconds of delay' to an audience should attribute it to Restream's own documentation rather than treat it as a universally verified constant.

• How many simultaneous destinations does the channel actually need, against the tier that supports that count?
• Does the content require Full HD output or dual vertical-and-horizontal streaming, which sit at the Professional tier and above?
• Is the added stream delay, as Restream states it, acceptable for interaction with live chat across every connected platform?

Multistreaming does not require new broadcast software; it requires one more destination for an existing OBS output. Restream's own pricing and product pages are where the actual channel counts, costs and stated technical limits live, not in a general claim about being everywhere at once.
