Be.Live’s official materials name Starter, Pro and Growth, but the available pricing evidence does not verify the current prices for those plans. The safest answer to “How much does Be.Live cost?” is therefore to check the plan selector and checkout for the price, currency, billing period and taxes shown for your account.
Be.Live does offer a 14-day trial without requiring a card, according to its FAQ. The trial is limited to 60 minutes per stream and 180 minutes in total, then the account moves to the free plan without a trial-end charge according to the same official guidance.
What Be.Live calls its plans
Be.Live’s official materials identify three paid tiers: Starter, Pro and Growth. They also describe a free plan, which is important because the trial does not appear to turn into a paid subscription automatically when it ends.
The names are clearer than the current price information available from the captured official pricing page. Be.Live’s official packages page exposes the page structure, but the plan comparison is embedded and the available page content does not show the complete table. That means older search results or copied pricing tables should not be treated as a current quote.
This distinction matters if you are comparing tools for a devotional channel, a study loop or a small business broadcast. A plan name can remain the same while the price, included features, destination allowance or billing presentation changes. Treat the name as documented, but treat the checkout display as the source for the purchase decision.
You may also see older figures quoted elsewhere. Research notes for this article found an older Be.Live blog result mentioning $19 for Starter, $44 for Pro and $55 for Growth per month. Those figures are historical leads, not verified current prices, so they are deliberately not presented as what you should expect to pay.
What the 14-day trial includes
Be.Live’s FAQ says that new users receive a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. It also states that the trial allows 60 minutes per stream and 180 minutes in total across trial sessions. These limits make the trial useful for testing the studio, but not for running an overnight or continuous channel.
For example, you could use one session to connect a camera, check your microphone and test a short broadcast. You could use another to try a recorded presentation or a small product demonstration. You should not assume that the trial is long enough to prove how a 24/7 workflow behaves, because the documented session and total-time limits are much shorter than an always-on broadcast.
The trial is also different from an ongoing free plan. “Free trial” describes temporary access to features or limits associated with a paid product. The free plan is what Be.Live says remains after the trial expires. Before testing, write down the exact task you need to complete: for instance, confirm whether your preferred output resolution is available, whether your camera arrangement works, and whether the destinations you need appear in the account.
Be.Live lists credit or debit card and PayPal among its payment methods, with Amazon Pay available only in selected regions, according to its FAQ and payment guidance. Payment methods can vary by location, so the method shown in your own checkout is the one to rely on.
The vendor’s FAQ is worth reading before you start the trial because it contains the trial wording, plan references and payment questions in one place. Keep a note or screenshot of the terms shown during signup if you are comparing the service with other tools.
What happens when the trial ends
Be.Live’s FAQ says the account is automatically downgraded to the free plan when the trial ends. Its account setup help also describes the free downgrade. On that basis, the trial should not create a paid charge simply because you forgot to cancel before the final day.
That does not remove the need to read the checkout screen. A trial statement is not the same as every possible paid subscription term, and your account may show notices that vary by region or payment method. Check whether you are starting only the no-card trial or agreeing to a paid subscription at the same time.
If you later choose a paid plan, Be.Live’s terms describe monthly subscriptions as recurring each month. They also describe yearly subscriptions as paid in advance for a 12-month term and renewed automatically. The payment help guidance says yearly subscriptions are non-refundable, while the FAQ refers to a possible 14-day cool-off refund if the platform has not been used after purchase. Those statements should not be combined into a general refund promise.
Before paying, open the current Be.Live terms and payment information, then look for the rules that apply to your chosen billing period and location. In particular, check how renewal works, whether a yearly term can be cancelled during its fixed period, and what refund wording applies to the exact purchase you are about to make.
For a channel that only needs to test a workflow, the free trial may be enough. For a channel owner planning a long-running broadcast, the more important question is what happens after payment: whether you can retain recordings, how many destinations your plan supports, and whether the account remains useful if you stop broadcasting for a month.
What is documented about Starter, Pro and Growth
The official material supports some useful differences between the tiers, but not a complete current feature matrix. The table below includes only distinctions found in the available Be.Live guidance and flags areas where that guidance conflicts.
| Comparison point | What the available official material says | What to confirm before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Plan names | Starter, Pro and Growth are named in official materials | The price and full feature list shown for your account |
| Trial | 14 days, no card required, with 60 minutes per stream and 180 minutes total | Whether the signup screen shows the same trial terms in your region |
| Output resolution | 1080p is listed for Pro and Growth | The resolution available for your selected plan and broadcast type |
| Multicamera | Pro and Growth include multicamera, with up to four camera sources documented | The current camera-source limit and how sources are counted |
| Recording retention | The FAQ lists Starter at 30 days, Pro at 60 days and Growth at 90 days | The plan display or support confirmation for Pro, because official pages conflict |
| Destinations | Official materials mention services including YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Amazon and custom RTMP | The current simultaneous-destination limit for the selected plan |
| Billing | Monthly recurring and yearly paid-in-advance terms are described | Renewal date, cancellation rules, currency and tax at checkout |
The clearest upgrade-related distinction is resolution. Be.Live help material lists 1080p for Pro and Growth. If your channel is a talking-head programme, a workshop or a product demonstration where text must remain readable, that may be more important than a long feature list. It still does not guarantee that your source camera, browser, connection or destination will deliver the result you expect.
Multicamera is another documented difference. Be.Live help material places multicamera on Pro and Growth and describes support for up to four camera sources. That could suit a cooking demonstration with a wide shot and a close-up, a class with a presenter and document camera, or a small business using separate product and host views.
If you only play one prepared video, multicamera may not justify paying for a higher tier. A single-file devotional loop or ambience station has a different requirement from a live workshop. Start with the actual format of your channel rather than assuming the highest plan is the appropriate one.
Recording and destination limits need extra care
Recording retention is an area where the official material does not agree. The FAQ lists 30 days for Starter, 60 days for Pro and 90 days for Growth. A separate help article lists 30 days for Starter and 90 days for both Pro and Growth.
Do not choose Pro on the assumption that its retention is definitely 60 or definitely 90 days. Check the plan display at the time you subscribe, or ask Be.Live support to confirm the current retention period in writing. If a recording matters, download or preserve the copy on the destination platform rather than treating the in-service recording as your only archive.
The FAQ also indicates that copies hosted on YouTube or other destination platforms are governed by those platforms’ own policies. That is separate from Be.Live’s internal recording retention. For a recorded live programme, make sure you know which copy you are relying on and how you would recover it if the service’s retention window ended.
Destination capacity has a similar problem. One official help article refers to up to five simultaneous destinations, while a product update refers to eight depending on the plan. These statements may describe different plan arrangements or different points in the product’s history, but they do not support one universal number.
Be.Live’s destination references include Amazon, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and custom RTMP. If your plan is only for YouTube, the conflicting upper limit may not affect you. If you intend to send a local news loop to several networks, or to publish a business presentation in several places at once, ask for the exact limit attached to the plan and account you will purchase.
For YouTube-specific planning, compare the broadcast workflow with YouTube Live Studio settings explained. A multistreaming feature does not replace checking YouTube’s own stream settings, visibility, latency and archive behaviour.
What the available pricing evidence does not confirm
The available evidence does not confirm an exact current price for Starter, Pro or Growth. It also does not safely confirm a current annual discount, the currency that will appear for every location, the tax added to checkout or a complete plan-by-plan list of included features.
That is why a search result showing a dollar figure is not enough. A price may be old, may apply to monthly rather than annual billing, may exclude tax, or may have been copied from a page that no longer displays the same offer. Even if the number looks plausible, it does not tell you what Be.Live will charge your account today.
The same caution applies to feature claims. The documented material supports 1080p and multicamera for Pro and Growth, but it does not justify filling in every other row of a comparison chart. If a feature is essential, look for it in the current plan selector or obtain confirmation from Be.Live before you rely on it.
The yearly billing language deserves particular attention. Be.Live describes annual subscriptions as paid in advance for a 12-month term and automatically renewed. The terms also say that yearly subscriptions cannot be cancelled during the fixed year, while payment guidance describes them as non-refundable. Read the current wording shown for your country rather than assuming that monthly cancellation rules apply to annual billing.
Taxes can also change the amount you actually pay. The checkout total is more useful than a headline figure because it should show the selected currency, billing period and any applicable tax before confirmation. If the checkout does not make those items clear, pause and ask support rather than guessing.
If you are weighing Be.Live against running software on your own computer, the trade-off is not only the subscription amount. A local setup may avoid a recurring service fee but leave you responsible for the computer, power, internet connection, restarts and overnight monitoring. Our guide to OBS versus cloud streaming for a 24/7 YouTube podcast channel sets out that operational choice in more detail.
For a cloud workflow where the main pain is leaving a computer switched on, StreamNeo removes that specific burden by taking an uploaded video, connecting it to your YouTube stream key and keeping the broadcast running with monitoring and automatic restart, without requiring software installation on your computer. It is YouTube-only, so a need for several social destinations remains a reason to examine a ing product instead.
How to verify the current price at checkout
Use this short process before selecting a paid Be.Live plan.
-
Open the official plan selector. Start from Be.Live’s own packages or account page rather than an old comparison article. Confirm that the plan is actually named Starter, Pro or Growth and that the features shown belong to the selected tier.
-
Record the headline amount and currency. Do not write down only a symbol such as “$” or “£”. Note the full currency label, the amount, and whether the page describes the amount as a monthly or annual equivalent.
-
Check the billing period. Make sure you know whether payment is recurring monthly or paid in advance for a year. If an annual view displays a lower monthly equivalent, compare it with the amount charged today, not only the equivalent figure.
-
Look for tax. Check whether tax is included in the displayed amount or added later. Confirm the final total after entering the billing country or other location information.
-
Read the renewal line. Find the next renewal date, the renewal amount if displayed, and the method for cancelling. Annual terms deserve extra care because the official payment guidance describes them as paid in advance and non-refundable.
-
Check feature limits. Confirm 1080p, multicamera, camera-source count, recording retention and simultaneous destinations if any of them matter to your channel. Do not rely on a general feature page when the plan selector gives a different answer.
-
Save the purchase evidence. Keep the receipt, confirmation email and a screenshot of the plan terms. If the plan page is ambiguous, ask support before completing payment and keep the answer with your records.
-
Test the real workflow first. During the 14-day trial, use the documented 60-minute session and 180-minute total allowance carefully. Test the camera, microphone, recorded content, destination connection and the exact production routine you expect to use after subscribing.
This checklist is especially useful if you are paying from India or another market where the final total may differ from an advertised figure because of currency conversion or taxes. The only reliable current purchase amount is the one presented for your account at checkout. Be.Live may change subscription prices with notice under its terms, so revisit the displayed terms when renewing or changing plans.
If your goal is a continuous YouTube loop rather than an interactive multi-camera programme, also consider the production side. A prepared file, stable audio and a tested stream key may matter more than a higher tier. Our guide to playing event replays continuously on YouTube Live in India covers practical questions around that kind of recorded broadcast.
Before committing, compare the operating options on the pricing page. When the file and channel are ready, start free — 24-hour trial, no card.
FAQ
Is Be.Live free?
Be.Live has a free plan, and its FAQ says the 14-day trial moves to that free plan without charging when the trial ends. The free trial itself is limited to 60 minutes per stream and 180 minutes in total, so it is not equivalent to an unlimited always-on broadcast.
What are the current Be.Live prices?
The available official pricing evidence does not verify current prices for Starter, Pro or Growth. Check the official plan selector and checkout for the amount, currency, billing period and taxes that apply to your account.
What is included in Be.Live Pro?
Official materials list 1080p and multicamera for Pro, with multicamera supporting up to four camera sources. Recording retention is inconsistent across Be.Live’s official guidance, so confirm the current Pro retention period before subscribing.
Does the Be.Live trial require a credit card?
Be.Live’s FAQ says the 14-day trial does not require a credit card. Payment methods and paid subscription terms can vary by location, so read the account and checkout wording before starting any paid plan.
