Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Hubilo

  • Service discontinued in September 2025; no longer available for new customers
  • Minimum entry price of $15,000/year positioned it exclusively for enterprise customers

Restream

  • The free plan applies Restream branding to the stream
  • Simultaneous destinations are rationed tightly, at 2 on free, 3 on Standard and 5 on Professional
  • Recording storage is 15 days on free and Standard, rising to 30 only on Professional
  • Reaching 8 destinations costs $199 a month on the Business plan
  • Resolution is not the differentiator, since every tier including free offers 4K, so the plans sell reach and retention instead
