If you run one small YouTube channel continuously, compare the plan that actually supports your loop or schedule, not just the lowest monthly figure. Livepush lists its Creators plan at $39/month, while Gyre lists Start at $49/month and Start+ at $99/month; those are USD list prices, not verified India checkout totals.
For a scheduled, looped channel, Livepush Creators and Gyre Start+ are the more relevant starting points in their respective plan families. Gyre Start may suit a simpler one-stream HD workflow, but its pricing table does not list playlists or a scheduler. Check the feature fit, the billing term and the final charge shown to your Indian account before paying.
Short answer for one small channel
A continuous stream needs more than permission to stream for many hours. You also need a practical way to keep the video running in the intended order, recover from interruptions, and manage the channel without treating it like a daily event. A plan described as having unlimited streaming hours is not automatically a 24/7 scheduled-channel plan.
Livepush says its 24/7 schedule channel begins with Creators. Its published price is $39/month, or $390 for an annual term, which works out to $32.50 per month only as an arithmetic comparison; the annual amount is paid up front. Livepush Pro is listed at $15/month or $156 billed yearly, but the vendor says the 24/7 schedule channel is not included at that tier. This distinction matters more than the apparent price gap if your aim is an unattended loop.
Gyre Start is listed at $49/month for one HD stream. The pricing table shows 35 GB of storage and does not show playlists or a scheduler on that tier. Start+ is listed at $99/month and includes playlists and a scheduler, with capacity for four HD streams or one 4K stream and 75 GB of storage. For one continuous playlist, Start+ is the more directly comparable Gyre tier, though it includes capacity a single-channel operator may not need.
These details come from provider pages reviewed on 3 October 2026. Their published USD figures do not establish what a customer in India will be charged in rupees, whether tax or a card fee applies, or which payment methods a particular account can use. Treat the checkout screen, rather than a rough currency conversion, as the decision point.
Compare listed Livepush and Gyre plan prices
The table separates the published amount from the practical feature question. It is a comparison of provider-listed plans, not a recommendation based on an assumed Indian total. Livepush has both social-streaming and event-hosting product families; the social plans are the relevant family when the destination is YouTube and you do not need hosted website playback.
| Provider and plan | Published USD price and term | Published fit and limits | What to check for one channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Livepush Free | $0 | 20 streaming hours a month, one simultaneous stream, 200 MB storage; prerecorded events up to 20 minutes; no 24/7 schedule channel | It can help you explore a short event workflow, but its listed hours and lack of a continuous schedule do not fit a full-time channel. |
| Livepush Pro | $15/month, or $156 billed yearly ($13/month equivalent) | Unlimited streaming hours, up to three simultaneous streams, 8 GB storage; prerecorded events up to four hours; no 24/7 schedule channel | Do not read “unlimited hours” as the schedule feature needed for a continuous loop. |
| Livepush Creators | $39/month, or $390 billed yearly ($32.50/month equivalent) | 24/7 schedule channel, queued and looped videos, up to 4K, five simultaneous streams, 20 GB storage | The listed entry point for a continuous scheduled channel in Livepush’s social plans. |
| Livepush Business | $119/month, or $1,229 billed yearly ($102/month equivalent) | 24/7 channel, on-air schedule editing, up to 15 simultaneous streams, 100 GB storage | Consider only if the extra capacity or editing controls solve a real operating need. |
| Gyre Start | $49/month | One HD stream, 35 GB storage, Full HD 60fps; no playlist or scheduler shown in the pricing table | Confirm that the workflow can meet your scheduling needs without those listed features. |
| Gyre Start+ | $99/month | Four HD streams or one 4K stream, 75 GB storage, playlists and scheduler; Full HD 60fps or 4K | The more relevant Gyre tier when playlist scheduling or 4K is required. |
| Gyre PRO+ | $169/month | Eight HD streams or two 4K streams, 150 GB storage, playlists and scheduler | Usually excess capacity for one small channel unless you have a specific need for concurrent streams or storage. |
The prices and limits in the table are from Livepush’s and Gyre’s published materials as reviewed on 3 October 2026. Recheck current plan pages because vendors can change features, billing terms and limits. The terms “up to” and “one 4K stream” should also be read as plan descriptions rather than a promise that every source file or internet connection will produce that quality.
For YouTube-only delivery, avoid mixing Livepush’s event-hosting plans into this comparison unless you specifically need hosted playback on your own website. Its event-hosting product family describes a branded player and CDN delivery, which answers a different need from sending a live stream to YouTube. When the only destination is YouTube, compare the relevant social-streaming workflow and its 24/7 feature instead.
Compare monthly billing with annual prepayment
A “per month” number can represent two different cash commitments. A monthly plan is ordinarily charged by the month, while an annual equivalent is a way to express the average cost of a larger amount charged in advance. If you are testing whether a devotional playlist or lofi loop can run reliably, keeping the first commitment shorter may be worth more than a lower monthly equivalent.
For Livepush Creators, the listed monthly option is $39. The annual listing is $390 billed yearly, equivalent to $32.50 per month when divided across the year. That arithmetic difference does not mean the customer pays $32.50 monthly under the annual term: the listed annual charge is $390 up front. Livepush Pro follows the same distinction in its listing: $15 monthly versus $156 for a year, an effective $13 per month if averaged across that prepaid period.
Gyre’s plan pages display monthly and longer-term billing choices. The supplied pricing notes specify the monthly list prices for Start, Start+ and PRO+, but do not establish a verified India amount for a longer term. Select the exact term you intend to buy and compare the amount charged now, not an attractive monthly equivalent displayed beside a prepaid term. Do not assume a discount or renewal arrangement without reading the checkout details.
A useful way to think about the trade-off is operational uncertainty. If you have not yet confirmed that the queue, schedule or file format behaves as you need, a shorter billing commitment limits how much you have paid before testing. If your workflow has already been proven and you are comfortable with the vendor’s cancellation and renewal conditions, prepayment may be acceptable. The right answer depends on cash flow and confidence, not on a universal claim that annual billing is better.
For a wider view of the work behind a persistent channel, the guide to planning YouTube live content can help you decide whether one loop, a playlist rotation or time-specific blocks are needed before choosing a tier.
Check which plan supports the needed stream workflow
Write down what the channel must do when nobody is at the computer. For example, a small temple channel might play a morning darshan recording, then rotate through a set of bhajans, and repeat the queue through the night. A study channel may need lesson files in a fixed order, while an ambience channel may need one long recording repeated without a visible interruption. The plan should match that workflow, rather than an abstract stream-count maximum.
For Livepush, the plan distinction is explicit in the research reviewed: Free and Pro lack the 24/7 schedule channel, while Creators lists a 24/7 channel with queued and looped videos. Livepush’s own help centre makes the distinction between unlimited multistreaming hours and the separate 24/7 channel feature. That is why Pro’s lower figure should not be treated as an equivalent substitute for Creators when the requirement is a continuous scheduled stream.
For Gyre, Start lists a single HD stream and storage, but not playlists or a scheduler. If a single stream can be fed through another workflow that you already operate, Start may still be worth evaluating. If you need the tool itself to schedule a playlist, Start+ is the more relevant listed tier. Before choosing, establish whether you need a prepared playlist, time-based schedule, several simultaneous streams, 4K output, or simply one HD stream running from a known source.
Do not pay for capacity just because it appears in a plan card. A single YouTube channel does not benefit from four concurrent HD streams unless you actually intend to run them. Storage matters when your library is large, but check whether the stated storage is enough for the files you plan to queue and whether the service counts source uploads or other data in that allowance. The published limits identify a ceiling; they do not tell you how your particular files will be handled.
If you are building the playlist and schedule yourself, these steps for scheduling prerecorded videos from India help clarify what must be prepared before a continuous broadcast. If you prefer a desktop workflow, the walkthrough for a continuous playlist stream in XSplit gives a different operating model to compare against a subscription service.
Estimate the actual India checkout total
The USD list price is a starting reference, not an India quote. The Livepush and Gyre pages reviewed for this comparison do not establish a final rupee price for an Indian account. They also do not settle the tax that might appear for a particular purchase, a bank’s foreign-currency markup, payment availability, or the exchange rate that will apply on the charge date. Do not add an invented tax percentage or exchange rate to make the comparison look precise.
At checkout, verify the currency shown on the order, the total amount due now, whether tax is included or added, and whether the transaction is monthly or prepaid for a longer term. Also confirm that your intended payment method is accepted for your account, when the renewal will occur, and what cancellation or refund conditions apply. Save the order summary and confirmation so you can check what was actually agreed if the displayed amount or term is unclear.
A card issuer may convert a foreign-currency charge using its own rules, and the eventual statement amount may therefore differ from a quick online conversion. That is a payment-side issue, not evidence that the provider lists a particular INR plan. If you need a rupee budget before checkout, use a range from your own bank’s current conversion information as a planning estimate and keep it clearly separate from the provider’s confirmed charge. The final checkout remains the authoritative amount for that transaction.
Gyre’s FAQ lists Visa, Mastercard and Maestro debit or credit cards, and mentions PayPal or cryptocurrency for topping up a balance. That statement does not prove that every method is available to every customer in India, nor does it confirm an INR checkout. Check the actual payment choices in your account rather than assuming that a payment method listed in general documentation will work for you.
There is a local-currency reference point from another vendor, but it should not be treated as an equivalent feature comparison. StreamNeo’s pricing page lists one always-on slot at 99/month, among other terms, and its product description concerns turning an uploaded video into a YouTube stream. That is a vendor-published claim and price, not an independent assessment of reliability or a verified comparison of all Livepush and Gyre functions. It may help you frame a rupee budget while you still compare workflow and terms carefully.
Verify current plan limits and pricing
Prices and limits are volatile, so use dated research as a shortlist, then verify the live plan page before you subscribe. The current price card should match the product family and term you intend to use. A plan name alone is not enough: check that the 24/7 schedule, playlist or scheduler is actually shown for that exact tier, and that the capacity you need is not restricted to a higher plan.
The primary sources to consult are the Livepush pricing page and its help article on 24/7 channels. For Gyre, inspect its pricing page and the plan detail or FAQ linked there. Compare the actual billing term and charged total with the descriptions, not just the large headline price. These are vendor sources, so they establish what each provider publishes, not an independent test of service quality.
Look for distinctions in terminology. “Unlimited” may refer to streaming hours, while a “schedule channel” describes a particular workflow. “Full HD” and “4K” describe output categories, but the relevant plan’s stream count and storage may be the limiting factors for your setup. If a feature is absent from a price table, ask support whether it is included before treating the plan as feature-equivalent.
YouTube also has its own requirements and current rules for live broadcasts. Read the YouTube Help guidance for live streaming before starting, particularly if the channel is new or has not streamed before. Neither a software subscription nor a provider’s plan listing guarantees YouTube approval, monetisation, audience growth or uninterrupted delivery.
For an operator who is running a local machine, the guide on keeping a livestream going when the app crashes is useful context for the recovery problem that a cloud-based option aims to remove. StreamNeo can take the specific burden of leaving your computer running and relaunching a dropped broadcast out of that workflow: upload the file, provide the YouTube stream key, and the channel runs without your computer. It is YouTube-only, so confirm that this matches your destination before relying on it.
Make the decision against your actual channel
Before choosing, write down the minimum workable setup: one destination or several, one stream or more, HD or 4K, the size of the file library, and whether the channel must rotate content on a schedule. Then remove every feature that does not solve a real need. For a one-stream HD channel with an existing way to supply video, Gyre Start may be enough to test, provided its missing listed playlist and scheduler features are not blockers. For a managed playlist, compare Gyre Start+ with Livepush Creators, not Start with Creators as if their workflow were identical.
If Livepush’s queue and 24/7 schedule meet the need, Creators is the relevant listed social-plan starting point. If Gyre’s playlist and scheduler are important, Start+ is the relevant listed tier. If you need multiple channels, team controls, or substantially more storage, examine the higher plans; otherwise, their extra capacity may simply increase the spend without making one stream better suited to your operation.
Think about the first week of use as a test, not just the signup. Load the actual file or representative playlist, confirm the stream appears as intended on YouTube, check how it behaves at the end of a file, and verify what happens after a network or application interruption. Review the provider’s cancellation and renewal terms before choosing an annual commitment. A short, observable trial of the complete workflow tells you more than a plan comparison based only on storage and headline price.
The operating choice also includes who is responsible for maintenance. A desktop setup may offer more hands-on control and may make sense if you already manage encoding and recovery. A managed service can reduce the need to leave your personal computer on, but it introduces a recurring vendor relationship and depends on that vendor’s workflow and support. The cost comparison is incomplete until you count the time and attention your chosen arrangement requires.
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 Pro enough for a 24/7 YouTube channel?
Not according to the plan distinction in Livepush’s published material reviewed for this comparison. Pro lists unlimited streaming hours, but the 24/7 schedule channel begins at Creators. Confirm the current plan details before subscribing, because plan features can change.
Is Gyre Start the same kind of plan as Gyre Start+?
No. Start is listed for one HD stream and does not show a playlist or scheduler in the pricing table, while Start+ lists those features and higher stream capacity. If you need a built-in scheduled playlist, verify that the chosen tier includes it rather than inferring it from the plan family.
What will I actually pay in India?
The USD list prices do not establish your final India checkout total. Check the order currency, taxes, payment method and billing term in your own checkout, then confirm any foreign-currency conversion or fee with your card provider. Treat an off-site conversion as an estimate only.
Should I pay annually to get the lower monthly equivalent?
Only if you have tested the workflow and accept paying the listed yearly amount up front. An annual equivalent is not a monthly charge, and your decision should account for cash flow, renewal and cancellation terms. If the channel is unproven, a shorter initial commitment can be easier to reassess.
