Gyre.pro lists a seven-day free trial and three paid plans: Start, Start+ and PRO+. The paid tiers are displayed at $49, $99 and $169 per month respectively, but the useful difference is not price alone: it is the number of simultaneous streams, storage, 4K access and scheduling features.
Before you subscribe, check the current Gyre.pro pricing page, the checkout total and the upgrade wording in your account. The published FAQ also contains a specific refund condition and warns that some upgrades can replace a server and remove existing files and streams.
The offers and displayed prices
The following figures are taken from the official Gyre.pro pricing page, checked on 3 October 2026. Because pricing pages can change, treat them as a dated record rather than a permanent price list. In the wording below, prices are as listed on Gyre.pro's site in September 2026 and rechecked in October 2026.
| Offer | Displayed price | Simultaneous streams | Storage | Main limits and features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | $0 for 7 days | 1 HD | 20 GB | Up to 15 files, Full HD at 30 fps, watermark |
| Start | $49 per month | 1 HD | 35 GB | Full HD at 60 fps, no watermark, no playlists or stream scheduler listed |
| Start+ | $99 per month | 4 HD or 1 4K | 75 GB | Full HD at 60 fps or 4K, playlists and scheduler |
| PRO+ | $169 per month | 8 HD or 2 4K | 150 GB | Full HD at 60 fps or 4K, playlists and scheduler |
The page lists YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, X, Kick and MixCloud as supported platforms. It also shows 24/7 stream duration, plug-in channels and unlimited streaming hours across the offers. Those broad labels do not remove the plan-specific caps: one HD stream on Start is still one stream, even if the stream can run continuously.
The trial is therefore not simply a smaller version of Start. It has less storage, a file-count limit, a watermark and a lower frame-rate listing. Start removes the watermark and raises the listed frame rate, but it does not add the playlists or stream scheduler shown on the higher paid tiers.
A channel owner running one devotional video loop may need only one HD output. A school with separate lessons for different subjects, or a business running several regional promotions, needs to count active outputs rather than only uploaded files. The right comparison begins with that number.
Compare simultaneous stream limits first
A simultaneous stream is an output running at the same time. Four videos uploaded to an account do not require four simultaneous streams if only one is live. Conversely, one video may need several streams if you broadcast it to separate channels or destinations.
The listed limits are:
- The trial and Start each allow one HD stream.
- Start+ allows four HD streams or one 4K stream.
- PRO+ allows eight HD streams or two 4K streams.
The “or” matters. Start+ is not four 4K streams. PRO+ is not eight 4K streams. If you need two 4K outputs, the table points to PRO+; if you need several HD outputs, Start+ may be sufficient without paying for the larger capacity.
Write down the broadcasts you expect to run at the same time. For example, suppose you operate one Kannada radio-style channel in the morning, one Hindi bhajan channel throughout the day and two shop-promotion channels during a sale. That is four HD outputs if all are live together. Start would not cover that arrangement, while Start+ is the first listed tier with four HD streams.
If your plan is a single 24/7 channel, the additional stream capacity in Start+ and PRO+ may have no practical value. You might still need those tiers for 4K, playlists, scheduling or storage, but do not select them merely because the plans sound more capable.
YouTube has its own account and broadcast requirements, separate from Gyre's plan limits. Check YouTube's official live-streaming guidance for the current platform-side requirements before treating a plan's capacity as permission to broadcast.
For a single channel, the more useful question may be whether the service survives the night without your computer. If you are comparing hosted streaming with local equipment, the practical trade-offs in this guide to running a YouTube channel live 24/7 without a PC are more relevant than the headline stream count.
Storage, playlists and file limits
Storage determines how much source material you can keep available for the stream. It is not the same as the number of simultaneous outputs. The published figures are 20 GB for the trial, 35 GB for Start, 75 GB for Start+ and 150 GB for PRO+.
The trial also states a maximum of 15 files. The paid comparison does not give a matching file-count limit in the material reviewed, so do not assume that the larger storage allowance means an unlimited number of uploads. Check the account and current plan wording if your channel depends on many short clips rather than a few large videos.
File size depends on the format and encoding. A long Full HD recording can use more storage than a short 4K clip, while a compressed audio-led video may use less. For that reason, count your actual files and inspect their sizes before choosing a tier. A folder of 15 short devotional videos is a different storage problem from several long exam lessons.
Playlists are listed for the trial, Start+ and PRO+, but not for Start in the detailed comparison. The trial is also shown with a converter and scheduler. This creates an important distinction: the free trial may let you test workflow features that are not listed on the entry paid tier.
If your channel needs one repeating file, playlists may not matter. If it needs a sequence of lessons, adverts, prayers or music videos, they can affect how much manual work is required. You can see why in this explanation of how to make a YouTube Live playlist loop continuously.
Do not confuse storage with a backup. A hosted copy used for streaming is still a working copy, not necessarily an export you can recover after an account change. Keep important source videos on your own storage before changing plans, especially if you are moving from Start to a higher tier.
For a study channel, file organisation also affects whether the plan is manageable. Separating subjects, terms and repeat content before uploading makes it easier to identify what can be removed when storage becomes tight. This approach to organising recorded board-exam lessons is useful even if your final channel is not educational.
Resolution, frame rate and notable restrictions
The trial is listed as Full HD at 30 fps. Start is listed as Full HD at 60 fps. Start+ and PRO+ list Full HD at 60 fps and 4K. The table does not say that every uploaded file is automatically improved to a higher quality. A low-resolution source remains a low-resolution source, so choosing a 4K-capable plan does not repair a soft or heavily compressed video.
For a devotional image with audio, a local news loop or a static ambience scene, 30 fps may be adequate. For gaming footage, fast movement or a presentation with frequent screen changes, a higher frame-rate option may be useful. The decision should follow the source material and the viewer's needs, not the label alone.
Higher quality also affects file size, upload time and the amount of data your workflow must handle before the broadcast begins. If your internet connection is limited, uploading several large 4K files can become the slow part even when the hosted stream itself does not use your computer.
The published comparison lists converter access on the trial and Start, and converter, playlists and scheduler on Start+ and PRO+. Start's row does not list playlists or a stream scheduler. That omission is worth checking directly with Gyre before subscribing if your schedule depends on automatic changes between programmes.
You should also inspect the output after the first upload. A stream can look blurry because of the source file, the conversion settings or YouTube's processing rather than because the plan is too small. This troubleshooting guide on why a YouTube live stream looks blurry covers the checks to make before paying for a higher resolution tier.
The supported destination list is broad, but this article is about Gyre.pro's video-streaming service, not similarly named products. In particular, do not combine these plans with the different offers shown on getgyre.com. The names overlap, but the research material describes that site as a separate product.
Trial terms and the watermark
The trial is listed as seven days, one HD stream, 20 GB of storage and up to 15 files. It is shown with Full HD at 30 fps and a Gyre watermark. The page also lists converter, playlists and scheduler access for the trial.
That makes the trial useful for testing the complete operating routine: upload a representative file, connect the destination, arrange the sequence and leave it running. It is not a clean final broadcast if the watermark is visible to your viewers. Test with the kind of content you actually plan to publish, including long pauses, repeated sections and any scheduled changes.
A short trial can also miss problems that appear later. Check whether the stream reconnects after a network interruption, whether the correct file resumes, whether the playlist order behaves as expected and whether the channel remains live when your own computer is switched off. Record the result rather than relying on a quick daytime test.
If one HD stream is all you need, compare the trial with Start on the features that affect the finished channel. Start is listed at $49 per month, with 35 GB, Full HD at 60 fps and no watermark. The trial costs nothing but lasts seven days and has the watermark and 15-file ceiling.
The FAQ says the minimum paid subscription is 30 days. It does not list a shorter paid period, so a brief test after the trial may still involve a full month rather than a week. That is why it is sensible to prepare the files and streaming destination before starting the trial.
The documented refund condition
Gyre's FAQ gives a conditional full-refund rule. It says that if you request a refund within 14 days of payment and have streamed for less than 10 hours, you receive a full refund. It also says there is no refund after 14 days, while the service remains active until the subscription ends.
The condition has two parts: timing and use. Being within 14 days is not enough if the account has streamed for 10 hours or more. Similarly, streaming for fewer than 10 hours does not satisfy the stated condition if the request is made after the 14-day window.
The FAQ instructs customers to cancel and contact support. Cancellation is described through the account avatar, Settings, Subscriptions, Active, the subscription menu and Unsubscribe. Keep the payment record and note when you sent the request. Do not treat the condition as a general promise of a refund for every cancellation.
The wording is Gyre's published support guidance, not a legal conclusion about every payment method or jurisdiction. The page also says that Visa, Mastercard and Maestro are accepted, and that users can top up through PayPal and cryptocurrency. It does not, in the material reviewed, itemise possible tax, currency-conversion charges, bank fees or card fees.
Before paying, read the current refund and subscription wording on Gyre.pro and confirm how it applies to the payment method you intend to use. If the account dashboard or checkout presents different terms, save that wording and ask Gyre support before completing the purchase.
Billing terms and possible extra costs
The pricing page provides selectors for one month, three months, six months and one year. It displays savings of 7% for three months, 12% for six months and 17% for one year. The page layout also shows paired amounts for longer terms, but it is not fully clear from the retrieved text whether every crossed-out figure is a standard price or a current promotion.
The displayed figures recorded on Gyre.pro's site in September 2026 and rechecked in October 2026 were:
| Tier | 1 month | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start | $49 | $147, with $137 promotional figure shown | $294, with $259 promotional figure shown | $588, with $488 promotional figure shown |
| Start+ | $99 | $297, with $277 promotional figure shown | $594, with $523 promotional figure shown | $1,188, with $986 promotional figure shown |
| PRO+ | $169 | $507, with $472 promotional figure shown | $1,014, with $893 promotional figure shown | $2,028, with $1,684 promotional figure shown |
Use these as displayed examples, not guaranteed checkout totals. Confirm the billing term, currency, discount, renewal wording and final amount on the payment screen. A longer term lowers the effective monthly cost only if you use the service for that whole period and the displayed promotion applies to your purchase.
The retrieved pricing information does not itemise taxes, currency conversion, bank charges, card fees or separate charges for storage and streaming beyond the plan. That does not prove that no such charge can apply. If you are paying from India or another country where the account currency differs from your bank account, check the amount your payment provider will actually debit.
Do not buy a year simply because the annual figure appears lower. First run the trial, test the real files and decide whether you need the plan's extra streams, storage or scheduling. A cheaper committed term is still an unnecessary cost if Start is enough or if the workflow does not suit your channel.
Upgrade risks and a safer check before changing plans
The most important upgrade detail is the possible loss of data. Gyre's FAQ says that moving from Start to Start+ or PRO+ replaces the server, and that current files and streams are lost. It advises saving important data first.
That means you should not assume an upgrade is an in-place expansion. Download or copy every important source file, record the stream settings and note the destination keys or channel configuration before selecting the upgrade. Do not rely on the fact that the same account remains visible in your browser.
The FAQ gives a different result for moving from Start+ to PRO+: it says the server, files and streams are preserved while storage and features are added. This does not mean every upgrade path is safe. The path matters, and the account's current wording should be checked before payment.
The FAQ also says remaining paid days are converted into a discount on the new plan and that one extra day may be included for time-zone adjustment in the calculation. Ask the account to show the upgrade quote and inspect how the remaining time is being valued. Do not calculate the credit only from the monthly prices in a public table.
A safe upgrade checklist is simple:
- Export or copy the original videos and any custom artwork.
- Write down the active streams, destinations, schedules and playlist order.
- Check whether the path is Start to Start+, Start to PRO+ or Start+ to PRO+.
- Read the account's displayed quote, renewal term and data-loss warning.
- Contact support if the quote or preservation wording is unclear.
- Upgrade only after the backup is complete.
This is especially important for a small business channel where the files may include current adverts, prices or contact details that are difficult to recreate. A plan change should not be the first time you discover that the working copy was the only copy.
Which plan fits a practical 24/7 channel
Choose the trial when you need to test the workflow, can tolerate the watermark during testing and need no more than one HD stream or 15 files. Use it to test the actual broadcast rather than treating seven days as a promise about long-term performance.
Choose Start when one HD stream is enough, you want no watermark and 35 GB is sufficient. Its listed Full HD 60 fps option may suit a single channel, but the comparison does not list playlists or a stream scheduler for this tier. Confirm those features if your channel depends on them.
Choose Start+ when you need up to four HD streams, one 4K stream, 75 GB, playlists or scheduling. It is the first listed paid tier that combines multiple HD outputs with those higher-level workflow features.
Choose PRO+ when you need up to eight HD streams, two 4K streams or 150 GB. It is the largest listed offer, but its extra capacity is not a reason to buy it for a one-channel HD broadcast. Compare the capacity with your real schedule and source library.
For a person who wants to upload once and avoid leaving a home computer running overnight, StreamNeo removes the separate task of maintaining a local machine by turning an uploaded video into a YouTube-only 24/7 stream that can be monitored and restarted automatically. It is a different operating model, so compare the workflow, destination support and file requirements rather than assuming that every hosted service has the same limits.
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
How can I pay for the Gyre subscription?
The Gyre FAQ says it accepts Visa, Mastercard and Maestro, and that users can top up their balance through PayPal and cryptocurrency. Check the current payment screen for the available method, currency and final amount before confirming.
Can I buy a few extra days for my main subscription?
The published FAQ says the minimum paid subscription is 30 days and that a shorter paid period is unavailable. It also says remaining paid days can be converted into a discount when upgrading, so check the account's displayed calculation rather than assuming extra days can be purchased separately.
How do I get a refund?
Cancel and contact Gyre support. The documented full-refund condition is a request within 14 days of payment with less than 10 hours of streaming; the FAQ says no refund is available after 14 days.
Will an upgrade preserve my files and streams?
Not on every path. The FAQ says Start to Start+ or PRO+ replaces the server and loses current files and streams, while Start+ to PRO+ is described as preserving them. Back up important data and read the account-specific upgrade warning before changing plans.
