LiveReacting Alternative for 24/7 Streaming

LiveReacting’s 24/7 plan is $39.99 a month, or $33 a month billed yearly ($396), for one stream at 1080p and 30 fps (checked October 9, 2026). 60 fps costs 1.5 times that, 4K twice and 4K at 60 fps three times. Until October 31, 2026, new customers with the code KICKSTART2026 pay $21.99 a month for the first 5 months, or $287.93 for the first year billed yearly. Upstream is $30 a month, or $24 billed yearly.

At the standard price, yes: $30 a month against $39.99, or $24 against $33 billed yearly. From 4 streams, Upstream is $20 a stream and LiveReacting $30.79. LiveReacting’s offer for new customers is lower for the first 5 months ($21.99 a month) and ends October 31, 2026. At 4K and 60 fps the monthly prices are level ($120 and $119.97), and billed yearly LiveReacting costs less ($99 a month against $108).

Yes: 3 streams a month of up to 30 minutes each, in 720p with the LiveReacting watermark, to one platform, with no card. A free stream stops at 30 minutes, so a 24/7 stream needs the paid plan. Upstream’s free plan streams 24 hours every month in 1080p, to up to 10 platforms at once, with no watermark and no card.

Yes, on both. In Upstream, paste a shared Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive link under Media Library, Upload file, Import from link, and the file is copied into your library. LiveReacting imports from Google Drive, Dropbox and YouTube links on its paid plans.

Upstream starts and ends a stream once, every day or every week, or in back to back cycles: set how long each run lasts and the pause between runs, and it repeats on its own. With YouTube Connect, Upstream creates the YouTube broadcast too. LiveReacting schedules a stream on several dates, or repeats it every set number of minutes, hours or days, up to four weeks ahead.

Yes, on both. In Upstream’s Live Studio, guests join with a link and you can put up to 10 people on stage over the running 24/7 stream. LiveReacting’s 24/7 plan has 3 on screen guests and can cut from the playlist to a camera or guest and back.

No. LiveReacting isn’t on YouTube’s list of verified encoders (checked October 9, 2026); it streams to YouTube through YouTube’s API. Upstream is on the list, and YouTube Connect links your channel by signing in with Google.

If your channel lives on chat games like trivia and giveaways, LiveReacting has more of them. For the stream itself, Upstream sends to more platforms, puts more people on stage, costs less and has a free plan that renews every month.

We checked LiveReacting’s own pricing and help pages on October 9, 2026: pricing, 24/7 streaming, video playlists. Upstream’s numbers are from the pricing page. Prices change, so check both before you buy. If something here is out of date, tell us in the chat and we’ll fix it.
