Livepush has two different plan families, and the right choice depends first on where viewers will watch. Social media streaming sends broadcasts to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and other platforms, while live event hosting adds a player and playback links for your own website.
The current Help Center guide lists prices and limits for both families, but some public pricing-page text conflicts with it. Treat the guide as a starting point, then confirm the selected plan, limits and final billing total in Livepush’s checkout before paying.
Start with where the stream will play
A social media plan is for distributing a stream to third-party platforms. You create or select a broadcast in Livepush and send it to destinations such as YouTube, Facebook or Twitch. Your viewers then use those platforms’ own apps and websites.
A live event hosting plan is for putting the playback experience on your own website. Livepush describes these plans as including a branded player, delivery over Akamai CDN, direct HLS and M3U8 links, and other hosted-event features. They also include the social streaming capabilities, so the distinction is not simply “social or website”. Hosting plans are the broader family, but they cost more because website delivery introduces bandwidth and playback requirements.
This distinction matters if you run a devotional channel, a local news loop or an ambience station. If everyone watches through YouTube, paying for website-player bandwidth may not solve a problem you have. If you need an embedded player on a business site, a direct .m3u8 link or delivery that is separate from YouTube, a social-only plan will not provide those outputs.
Livepush’s own plans and pricing guide is the best place to check the current feature boundary. It is also worth reading the explanation of direct HLS access, because a direct playback link is a different requirement from sending a stream to a platform.
Social media streaming plans
The social family is organised around distribution to multiple platforms and destinations. The plans differ in simultaneous streams, destinations, storage, event length and scheduling features.
The Free plan is useful for testing a workflow, not for a continuous channel. Livepush’s current Help Center information lists 20 streaming hours per month, one simultaneous stream, up to 10 platforms at once and one destination per platform. It includes 200 MB of video storage, pre-recorded events up to 20 minutes, 50 GB of website-player bandwidth and two team invites.
The Free plan does not include Facebook, Kick or custom RTMP destinations. When the monthly streaming hours are used, Livepush says streams pause until the next monthly reset or until you upgrade. That makes the plan unsuitable for a 24/7 devotional broadcast or a shop’s overnight promotional loop. A month-long channel would need far more than the Free allowance, even before you consider storage or destination requirements.
Pro removes the monthly streaming-hour limit listed for Free. It supports up to three simultaneous streams, up to 30 platforms and up to three destinations per platform. Storage rises to 8 GB, pre-recorded events can run for up to four hours, and output can reach 1080p. Facebook, Kick and custom RTMP destinations become available.
Creators adds the features most relevant to an always-on channel. The plan includes a 24/7 schedule channel, video looping, 4K output and player branding. The guide lists up to five simultaneous streams, 40 platforms, five destinations per platform and 20 GB of storage. Pre-recorded event duration is unlimited according to the same guide.
Business is aimed at teams and agencies rather than a single operator with one broadcast. It raises destination capacity to up to 15 per platform, includes 100 GB of storage, allows on-air schedule editing and provides 15 team invites. The guide also lists priority support and higher stream counts, although you should confirm the exact figures shown for your account before purchase.
Enterprise is custom. Livepush asks prospective customers to provide volume and workflow details, so there is no single public price or standard limit to use for a simple comparison.
For a single YouTube channel, the main question is not whether a plan can send to many platforms. It is whether you need a schedule channel, whether you will operate more than one broadcast at once, and whether the destination count is genuinely part of your workflow. If you only need to send one pre-recorded programme to YouTube, a higher multi-platform allowance may not be valuable.
Live event hosting plans
Live event hosting is the relevant family when your own website is part of the viewing experience. The plan includes a hosted player and a monthly bandwidth allowance. It also supports direct playback links, which can be useful when another website, application or player needs an HLS or DASH source rather than a YouTube page.
Events is the entry tier in this family. Livepush lists 1 TB of monthly bandwidth, three simultaneous streams, 50 GB of storage, one cloud-transcoding stream and output up to 1080p. It does not include the 24/7 schedule channel described for the higher hosting tier, so it is not the straightforward choice for a website-based continuous channel.
Studio adds 3 TB of monthly bandwidth, five simultaneous streams and 100 GB of storage. It includes a 24/7 schedule channel, 4K output and SRT output links. If your requirement is a continuous programme on your own website, Livepush identifies Studio as the entry live event hosting tier for that use case.
Network lists 8 TB of monthly bandwidth, nine simultaneous streams and 400 GB of storage. It adds dual cloud transcoding, two adaptive-bitrate streams and on-air schedule updates. Those features matter when several streams, changing schedules or multiple playback qualities are part of the operation rather than occasional extras.
Enterprise hosting is custom. The guide describes a dedicated server, custom CNAME, a full transcoding and adaptive-bitrate stack, migration handled by Livepush and a direct Slack line to engineering. These are vendor-described inclusions, not a guarantee that a particular workflow will be approved or that a given audience will receive a particular playback result. Confirm the scope and commercial terms directly with Livepush.
The practical dividing line is audience delivery. A YouTube devotional channel can remain on the social family. A broadcaster that wants the same programme embedded on its own local-news website needs to account for player bandwidth, playback links and the schedule-channel feature. Buying the social plan first and discovering later that the website needs HLS output can mean changing plan families rather than merely adding one small option.
Prices and the limits that change the decision
The current Help Center guide lists the following prices. These amounts should be treated as Livepush’s listed prices, not as an independent market comparison, and the public pricing page contains conflicting text in some places.
| Plan family | Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing | Important listed limits or inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Social | Free | No charge | Not listed | 20 streaming hours per month, one simultaneous stream, 200 MB storage |
| Social | Pro | $15/month | $156/year | Three simultaneous streams, 30 platforms, 8 GB storage, up to 1080p |
| Social | Creators | $39/month | $390/year | 24/7 schedule channel, five simultaneous streams, 20 GB storage, 4K output |
| Social | Business | $119/month | $1,229/year | Up to 15 destinations per platform, 100 GB storage, team features |
| Hosting | Events | $59/month | $590/year | 1 TB monthly bandwidth, three simultaneous streams, 50 GB storage |
| Hosting | Studio | $139/month | $1,428/year | 3 TB monthly bandwidth, 24/7 schedule channel, 4K and SRT output |
| Hosting | Network | $399/month | $4,068/year | 8 TB monthly bandwidth, nine simultaneous streams, 400 GB storage |
These prices are as listed on Livepush’s site in September 2026. Livepush’s guide says annual billing can save up to two months’ worth and that subscribers can change tiers in account settings. The annual figures above should still be checked in checkout, especially where the monthly multiplication and displayed annual amount appear different.
The social monthly prices listed by Livepush are Pro at $15, Creators at $39 and Business at $119. The hosting monthly prices are Events at $59, Studio at $139 and Network at $399. Enterprise pricing is custom. Do not infer an Enterprise total from the nearest public tier.
The figures that matter most to an always-on operator are not always the headline prices. Free has a hard monthly hour allowance. Pro has no listed monthly streaming-hour limit but does not include the 24/7 schedule-channel feature described for Creators. Events includes website bandwidth but not the 24/7 schedule channel. Studio adds that channel, but also moves the cost into a different range.
There is a further verification issue. The current official pricing-page rendering shows different simultaneous-stream figures in some places, including examples that differ from the Help Center guide. The updated guide and plan-specific help material agree on the broad social structure and the listed $15, $39 and $119 monthly prices, but an isolated number on the pricing page should not be treated as definitive. Select the plan and inspect the final checkout summary before payment.
What the features mean in a real workflow
Streaming hours and schedule channels
“Unlimited streaming hours” and “24/7 schedule channel” describe different things. An unlimited allowance means the plan is not restricted by the Free plan’s monthly hour counter. A schedule channel is the feature that organises continuous or recurring playback. Livepush says a 24/7 channel is roughly 720 hours per month and requires a plan that includes the schedule-channel feature.
For social distribution, Creators is the lowest listed social tier for that use. For website hosting, Studio is the entry tier identified for a continuous schedule on your own site. Pro may be enough for long individual broadcasts, but it should not be assumed to provide the same scheduling function.
If your content is a playlist of bhajans, study music or recorded shop adverts, check whether you need looping, schedule editing or simply one long event. A long file sent once is operationally different from a channel that must keep selecting content after an item finishes.
Destinations and simultaneous streams
A platform is not always the same as a destination. The Free information describes one destination per platform, while higher social plans allow several destinations per platform. That could matter if one YouTube account has multiple channels or if a team sends separate outputs to different pages.
Simultaneous streams are also separate from destinations. A plan may let you reach many destinations while still limiting the number of broadcasts that can run at the same time. If you operate a devotional channel and a local-news loop, count the concurrent broadcasts, not just the number of places where viewers might watch.
Storage and event duration
Storage affects the source material you can keep available in the service. Event duration affects whether a pre-recorded file can be sent as one event. Pro lists up to four hours for pre-recorded events, while Creators lists unlimited duration. Free lists up to 20 minutes.
That difference can change the preparation process. A four-hour lecture, a long temple recording or a day of local announcements may need to be divided on Pro, whereas a higher plan may accept it as one event. Splitting files can be workable, but it creates more points where a handover or schedule can fail overnight.
Website bandwidth and direct playback
Website-player bandwidth applies to live event hosting, not the social-only plan comparison. Livepush says a hosted stream is not cut off mid-event if usage exceeds the monthly allowance. It states that usage can reach up to 200% of the total monthly bandwidth, with overage billed at $0.033 per GB at the end of the period.
That overage figure is as listed on Livepush’s site in September 2026. It is a billing term, not a prediction of what your audience will consume. Use Livepush’s bandwidth calculator and estimate viewing hours, stream quality and likely audience size before choosing Events, Studio or Network.
Direct HLS .m3u8 and DASH .mpd links are listed for live event hosting plans, not Free, Pro, Creators or Business social plans. Studio also lists SRT output links. If an installer, website developer or player configuration asks for a playback URL, ask which format it needs before you select a plan.
Choosing for a 24/7 channel
Start by writing down where the viewer will watch. If the answer is only YouTube, compare the social plans. If the answer includes your own website, compare live event hosting. If both matter, a hosting plan may cover the social destinations as well, but the additional bandwidth cost and feature set should be justified by the website requirement.
Next, define the operating pattern. A single continuous YouTube broadcast, a rotating schedule of videos and several separate channels are not the same workload. Note the number of broadcasts at once, the number of destinations per platform, the longest source file, and whether someone must edit the schedule while the channel is on air.
For example, a small Indian study channel with one YouTube destination may care about a schedule channel and storage more than 40 platforms. A local media organisation embedding video on its website may care about adaptive bitrate, direct HLS links and bandwidth. A small business showing recorded adverts may need a reliable rotation and clear handover between files, but not 15 destinations per platform.
If you are comparing hosted services with running your own computer, the operational question is what happens when the office machine, home broadband or power supply fails. An OBS setup for a pre-recorded YouTube stream can be economical when you are comfortable monitoring it, but it leaves more of the overnight recovery work with you. A Raspberry Pi continuous-stream setup has a different balance of control, maintenance and failure points.
StreamNeo is relevant when the specific pain is keeping a prepared video running without leaving your computer switched on: you upload the file, add your YouTube stream key, and the cloud broadcast is monitored and restarted automatically if it drops. It is YouTube-only, so it does not replace Livepush’s or website-hosting features.
Verify the billing total before paying
Do not calculate the final cost from a search snippet or from one copied table alone. Open the current Livepush pricing page, select the exact plan, choose monthly or annual billing, and continue far enough to see the checkout summary. The plan name, billing interval, tax treatment if shown, included limits and total should all be visible before you submit payment.
Check the following points:
- Plan family: Confirm that you selected social media streaming or live event hosting. Events, Studio and Network are not simply larger versions of Pro, Creators and Business.
- Billing interval: Compare the monthly amount with the annual total. The guide lists annual totals, but the amount displayed for your account is the one that controls the purchase.
- Included feature: Look specifically for the 24/7 schedule channel, looping, player branding, direct playback links, SRT output or on-air schedule editing if your workflow needs one of them.
- Concurrent use: Verify simultaneous streams, platforms and destinations. Public text has shown conflicting figures for some limits.
- Storage and duration: Check the storage allowance and the maximum pre-recorded event duration for the selected plan.
- Website delivery: If you will embed the player, confirm monthly bandwidth, transcoding options and the terms for usage above the included allowance.
- Renewal and changes: Read the account and billing screens for renewal timing, cancellation, tier changes and any applicable taxes or charges.
Save a copy of the checkout summary or invoice for your records. Product pages change, and a saved record makes it easier to identify what you selected if the dashboard later presents a different label.
For platform-specific distribution, also check the destination’s current rules. YouTube’s official live streaming Help page explains account and broadcast requirements, while its encoder settings documentation covers the technical side of sending a stream. These requirements sit outside Livepush’s plan price.
If your alternative is another multi-platform service, compare the workflow rather than only the monthly figure. This comparison of Restream for a 24/7 YouTube channel in India is useful when the question is platform distribution, while a playlist scheduling guide for several YouTube channels is more relevant when the problem is content rotation.
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 Livepush free?
Livepush’s Free plan includes 20 streaming hours per month, one simultaneous stream, 200 MB of storage and other stated limits. When the monthly hours are exhausted, streams pause until the reset or an upgrade. It is a testing plan rather than a 24/7 channel plan.
Which Livepush plan supports 24/7 streaming?
For social distribution, Livepush identifies Creators as the lowest listed plan with a 24/7 schedule channel. For a continuous channel hosted on your own website, Livepush identifies Studio as the entry hosting tier. Confirm the feature in the current plan selector because plan text can change.
What is the difference between social streaming and live event hosting?
Social streaming sends broadcasts to platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitch. Live event hosting adds a branded website player, monthly website bandwidth and direct playback options such as HLS and DASH, while also including social streaming features.
Can I rely on the public pricing page for every limit?
Not without checking. Livepush’s public pricing-page rendering conflicts with the recently updated Help Center guide on some limits, including simultaneous-stream figures. Use the guide to understand the plan structure, then confirm the selected plan and billing total in live checkout before paying.
