Where Restream shines
Restream does one thing well for a broad market: take one feed and push it to many platforms, with a browser studio. Its free plan streams to 2 channels, and paid plans start at $19 a month. If all you need is one feed sent to a few social platforms, it's hard to beat on price.
Where WorshipMetrics is different
A church service has a plan, a volunteer team, lyrics on screens, and a booth full of gear. On WorshipMetrics Free, Tech Manager streams to YouTube and Facebook from your church computer, and you get planning, presentation, camera control and AV monitoring too. Max ($79/mo) adds your own stream page, website player and domain, up to 10 destinations at once, live chat with prayer requests, and every service recorded. On Restream, a website player starts with Business at $239 a month.
Switching
Switch in one encoder setting.
Point your encoder at us
On Max, we turn hosted streaming on for you within one business day, set up your ingest and run a first test stream with you. vMix, OBS, Tech Manager or a hardware encoder sends to us over RTMPS or SRT. That's the whole migration.
Keep Restream running
Add Restream's stream address as a destination, and WorshipMetrics passes your service along to it. Nothing changes for your Restream channels while you try Max.
Add your destinations
YouTube and Facebook connect with a sign-in. Twitch, Restream, Castr and other RTMP destinations go in by their stream address, and if we don't send to a service yet, we add it for you.
Bring the team along
Import your people from a spreadsheet, build this week's plan, and Sunday runs through one platform, with 910-WORSHIP behind it.
Questions
WorshipMetrics vs Restream, answered.
Restream is cheaper for multistreaming. Why switch?
If all you need is fan-out, Restream is cheaper. Churches switch for the rest: their own stream page, website player and domain, every service recorded, live chat with prayer requests, and service planning, presentation, camera control and AV monitoring in the same login.
Does WorshipMetrics stream to the same destinations?
Max sends one stream to up to 10 destinations at once. YouTube and Facebook connect with a sign-in, and Twitch, Restream, Castr and other RTMP destinations go in by their stream address. If we don't send to a service yet, we add it for you.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. WorshipMetrics Free has every module, free forever, with no credit card: planning, scheduling, presentation, camera control, monitoring, and streaming to YouTube and Facebook from your church computer.
Your live stream, handled.
Choose Max and we'll get your encoder pointed at WorshipMetrics together, at $79/mo locked for 12 months if you sign up by December 31. Or start free and bring your team in first.
