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

Zoho Meeting

  • The free plan limits each meeting to 60 minutes and 100 participants
  • Paid plans are sold in fixed participant tiers of 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250, so capacity is bought in blocks
  • Recording storage on the Standard plan is 5 GB per host, with additional 25 GB blocks sold annually up to 1 TB per organisation
  • The free trial runs 14 days
