Where each one falls short

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

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

vFairs

  • The pricing page publishes no rate, no minimum and no named cost driver, and directs every enquiry to a demo booking or a sales email
  • Extra sessions, extra booths, accessibility features, expanded attendee capacity and managed services are all sold as paid add-ons rather than included
  • Licences are sold annually rather than per single event
