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

WebinarJam

  • Every plan caps webinar length: 1 hour on Starter, 2 hours on Basic, 3 hours on Professional and 4 hours on Enterprise
  • The Starter plan at $49 per month allows only 100 attendees per webinar and a single host
  • Even the $499 per month Enterprise plan caps attendance at 5,000 per webinar and 6 hosts
  • Additional team member seats are capped per plan, at 1 on Starter and 25 on Enterprise
  • Annual rates such as $39 per month on Starter require paying for a full year upfront
