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

Zuddl

  • Pricing starts at $10,000 per year and covers only two organizer seats
  • A minimum of two organizer licences is required to open an account
  • Extra collaborator seats cost $170 per month billed annually on top of the platform fee
  • Portals, the mobile app, Event Hub, Event Series and AI content repurposing are priced as add-ons rather than included
  • The price also scales with total annual virtual attendee volume, and that attendee pricing is not published
