Multistream vs Streamlabs
Multistream Cloud for $10/mo, and a free app that reads your chat aloud and tracks your growth.
Where Multistream gives you more
Streamlabs' free Dual Output covers one horizontal and one vertical platform; going wider needs Ultra at $27 a month. Multistream Cloud sends your OBS stream to up to 12 platforms for $10 a month, and the free app reads your chat aloud, tracks your growth and runs your alerts.
1. Multistream to more platforms, for less
Multistream: Multistream Cloud sends one stream from OBS to up to 12 platforms for $10/mo, and keeps them live if OBS drops. On a strong connection, the free app can also multistream straight from your PC.
Streamlabs: Streamlabs' free Dual Output streams to 1 horizontal and 1 vertical platform. More takes Ultra, at $27/mo or from $15.75/mo yearly.
2. Every chat, TikTok and Instagram included
Multistream: Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok and Instagram chat in one window, free in the app, and on your stream as an overlay.
Streamlabs: Streamlabs combines chats too, from 2 platforms on its free plan.
3. Chat read out loud, not just tips
Multistream: Chat messages and alerts are read out on stream, with many voice services to choose from, free.
Streamlabs: Streamlabs reads tips aloud in its alerts.
4. Watch your channel grow
Multistream: Growth, sessions, audience and viewers, free in the app, next to your chat.
Streamlabs: Streamlabs' website doesn't list stream analytics.
5. Stay live when OBS drops
Multistream: If OBS or your internet drops, Pro keeps every platform live on your BRB clip for up to 30 minutes. When OBS is back, you're on the same broadcast, with the same chat.
Streamlabs: Streamlabs offers this in Streamlabs Mobile, on Ultra.
