Larix Broadcaster is listed as free with in-app purchases on Apple’s India App Store, where the visible labels are ₹999, ₹11,900 and ₹1,999. Only the ₹11,900 label explicitly says “One Year”; the other two do not state a billing period.
Google Play describes Larix Premium at $9.99 per month, but that is not an India rupee price. The reviewed listing does not establish the amount shown at checkout in an Indian account, so check the price and terms on the device and storefront you will use.
The short answer: it depends on the storefront
If you use an iPhone or iPad, Apple’s India listing marks Larix Broadcaster “Free · In-App Purchases” and displays three purchase labels: “Larix Premium” at ₹999, “Larix Premium One Year” at ₹11,900, and “NDI Streaming” at ₹1,999. Those are the labels and amounts shown in the listing, not a complete explanation of every purchase’s duration or terms. The listing reviewed does not specify a billing interval beside Larix Premium or NDI Streaming.
On Android, Google Play’s description for Premium says $9.99/month. Treat that as the description’s dollar-denominated price, not as a conversion or a confirmed India checkout amount. The rupee amount, applicable terms and purchase options shown to you need to be checked in Google Play for your account region before you confirm.
Larix is not simply an app that requires payment before any stream can be sent. Softvelum, the developer, says streaming capabilities can be used free with the fully functional Larix Broadcaster apps. Paid options are relevant when you need particular additions, such as watermark removal or specific advanced features. If your only question is whether you can try streaming without first paying, the vendor’s statement and the stores’ free-app labels indicate that free use is available; verify the feature you need before building a workflow around it.
Apple India’s visible purchase labels
The Apple India App Store page is the clearest source for the rupee figures in this comparison. It presents Larix Broadcaster as free with in-app purchases, then shows “Larix Premium ₹999”, “Larix Premium One Year ₹11,900” and “NDI Streaming ₹1,999”. The listing provider is Furtree Systems, Inc. You can open the Apple India listing to check the current display on the store page.
Read each label literally. “Larix Premium One Year” gives a duration in its name, while “Larix Premium” does not. Likewise, “NDI Streaming” identifies a separate purchase label, but the available listing evidence does not tell you whether its charge recurs, how long it lasts, or how its inclusions compare with Android Premium. A price appearing beside a purchase label is not enough to answer those questions.
This matters if you are budgeting for a channel. A person comparing a phone app for a one-off test has a different decision from someone who intends to depend on an advanced feature every night. Before deciding that one line is cheaper over time than another, establish what period it covers and whether it renews. Do not infer either detail from the amount or product name.
The app’s free label is also useful context. It means you can distinguish the cost of acquiring the app from the cost of an optional in-app purchase. It does not, on its own, promise that every function is available without payment. Check the feature notes for the exact capability you want, and then compare those notes with the purchase screen on your device.
What the labels do and do not say about billing
The Apple page displays three amounts, but only one of the three purchase labels specifies an interval. “Larix Premium One Year ₹11,900” explicitly names one year. The ₹999 “Larix Premium” label does not identify a month, a year, or a one-time term. The ₹1,999 “NDI Streaming” label also has no billing interval in the visible name.
That distinction is the central point for anyone searching for a Larix price in India. It would be misleading to call ₹999 a monthly subscription, or to call ₹1,999 a one-time unlock, without confirmation from the current purchase flow. Neither interpretation follows from the available label. Even if a price looks familiar or appears comparable to another app’s plan, appearance is not evidence of billing terms.
Before paying, open the purchase details on the same Apple ID and device you intend to use. Look for the duration, renewal language, and any description of what the item enables. If the confirmation page still does not explain a material term, pause and consult the developer or the store’s purchase support rather than treating an assumption as a price fact.
A sensible comparison therefore has at least three parts: the displayed amount, the period it covers, and the feature or entitlement attached to it. A one-year label tells you something about period, but the short label does not. An amount without duration cannot be compared fairly with an explicitly annual price until you obtain the missing detail.
Google Play’s Premium description
Google Play describes Larix Premium as $9.99/month. Its description says Premium removes the watermark and time limit and unlocks listed features including multiple simultaneous outputs, Talkback, HEVC encoding, advanced overlays, adaptive bitrate streaming, auto-start and UVC camera support. These are details attached to the Android Premium description; they should not be automatically read into the separate Apple “NDI Streaming” purchase.
The Google Play listing is dollar-denominated in the source reviewed. It does not establish the India-specific rupee checkout amount. Do not convert the displayed dollars using an exchange rate and call the result the Indian Play Store price: local pricing and what is presented for a given account must be confirmed at checkout.
For an Android user, the practical task is to inspect the in-app purchase screen while signed into the Google account that will make the purchase. Check the currency and amount shown there, then inspect the recurring period and renewal terms before confirming. If the amount is shown in dollars rather than rupees, it remains the store’s displayed amount for that purchase flow, not evidence that every Indian account sees the same thing.
Google Play’s feature description can help decide whether Premium is relevant even before you know the local total. For example, if watermark removal or auto-start is essential to your intended broadcast, identify that requirement first and see whether the current Premium description associates it with the purchase. If you only need a basic test stream, the vendor’s statement about free streaming capabilities suggests you should first check whether the free app covers that use.
Comparing the Android and Apple listings
These storefronts do not provide a directly matching set of price facts. Apple’s India page gives three rupee-denominated purchase labels, with only one spelling out a duration. Google Play’s Premium description gives a monthly dollar figure and a feature list, but the reviewed listing does not confirm an India-specific rupee amount. Comparing only the numbers would obscure the difference in currency, product labels and missing terms.
| Storefront | What the reviewed listing displays | What remains to check |
|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store India | Free · In-App Purchases; Larix Premium ₹999; Larix Premium One Year ₹11,900; NDI Streaming ₹1,999 | Billing periods for the ₹999 and ₹1,999 labels, renewal terms, and exactly what each purchase includes |
| Google Play | Premium described as $9.99/month, with watermark and time-limit removal and additional features | India-specific checkout amount in your account region, and the current purchase and renewal terms |
The table is not a claim that Apple’s annual label and Android’s monthly description are the same product or offer the same entitlement. Nor does the word Premium establish identical features across platforms. When choosing a device, compare the function you actually need, the local amount presented by that store and the complete terms shown before purchase.
A simple case: if you have an iPhone and only need to find out whether a planned stream can run with a basic setup, you can begin by checking the free app’s available capabilities. If you need a specific paid feature, look for that feature on the Apple purchase details rather than assuming that an identically named Android plan contains it. An Android buyer should do the same in reverse, using Google Play’s own current description and checkout details.
For a 24/7 YouTube channel, price is only one operating consideration. Larix is a mobile broadcasting app, so your workflow depends on the phone, power, network connection and the app’s settings remaining suitable for the stream. If you are planning a repeated video loop rather than a camera-based mobile broadcast, first understand what looping a live stream on YouTube means. The underlying broadcast method may matter more than a purchase label.
Check purchase details before you commit
Treat the store listing as a starting point and the purchase confirmation as the point where you verify your own transaction. The listing can help you identify the available product names and broad feature claims, but it does not settle every question about billing, renewals or region-specific display. Read the current terms on the platform where you will pay, because Apple and Google manage distinct store purchase flows.
Use this short check before confirming:
- Confirm the exact item name. “Larix Premium” and “NDI Streaming” are not interchangeable labels.
- Confirm the amount and currency shown to your account. For Google Play, do not substitute a conversion of the listing’s $9.99/month figure for the checkout display in India.
- Confirm the billing interval and whether the purchase renews. The Apple listing itself leaves the interval unstated for ₹999 and ₹1,999.
- Confirm the feature you need is included in that platform’s current description. Do not transfer an Android feature list to Apple’s NDI purchase without evidence.
- Keep the store’s purchase confirmation so you can refer to the product and terms later.
If you are not sure whether a paid tier is necessary, test the free capabilities against a small, non-critical broadcast plan before relying on the app overnight. For a longer YouTube channel, also check that the channel is able to stream and that the chosen workflow is appropriate. Our guide to verification requirements for a 24/7 YouTube live stream in India covers a separate channel-readiness question; app pricing does not answer it.
The same distinction applies to support accessories. Softvelum documents Android OTG USB sources, and Google Play mentions USB camera or capture-card input via USB OTG, but an external camera is a workflow choice rather than a prerequisite for using a phone’s built-in camera. If you plan to attach equipment, check your phone and adapter compatibility before buying anything. Do not include optional hardware in the app’s price comparison unless your setup actually requires it.
For a channel that must continue when your phone is unavailable or switched off, a mobile app may not be the whole operating plan. A looped file, a computer-based encoder and a phone-based live camera feed each have different failure points. The guide to keeping a stream running after a video ends is relevant if you are using a file-based encoder, while a phone broadcast calls for its own power and network checks.
Match the purchase to the channel you run
For a devotional stream, you might want a fixed visual with a camera or audio source, while a lofi station may use a prepared loop. For local news or a small business, a live mobile camera can be useful when the content itself changes through the day. These needs do not imply the same Larix purchase. Write down the required output and features first, then check whether the free app or a paid purchase on your platform provides them.
If your requirement is to remove a watermark or use one of the Android Premium features listed by Google Play, the Premium description gives you a reason to inspect that purchase. If your requirement is NDI output on Apple, the India listing provides a separate “NDI Streaming” label, but the available evidence does not define its duration or equate it with Android Premium. Ask the vendor or inspect the current in-app description where the listing leaves a meaningful gap.
A mobile broadcaster also ties the stream to a device that needs power and a reliable connection. For occasional live coverage, that may be an acceptable trade-off. For a continuous channel based on an uploaded video, a process that depends on keeping a phone active may not suit your operating pattern. Compare the practical alternatives, including how you will recover after a disconnect, rather than deciding by the app’s visible purchase amount alone.
When a fixed video needs to remain on air while your own computer is switched off, a cloud-run broadcast can remove the need to keep a local machine and phone in the streaming path. StreamNeo addresses that specific operational problem by turning an uploaded file into a YouTube live stream that can be monitored and restarted if it drops. It is YouTube-only, so it is not a replacement for a mobile app when you need to broadcast a live camera feed or use a feature tied to Larix.
If you are deciding between a phone, a desktop setup and a file-based channel, compare the day-to-day routine as well as the purchase terms. A desktop encoder can suit a hands-on operator who wants local control; a mobile app can suit live, location-based footage; a cloud file workflow can suit a prepared loop. Our guide to starting OBS automatically for a 24/7 YouTube stream explains one local-computer approach. Choose the method that fits the content and the person who will keep it running.
When you have identified the device, features and billing terms you need, compare the operating approach as well as the app label.
Before committing, compare the operating options on the pricing page. When the file and channel are ready, start free — 24-hour trial, no card.
