Overview

Streamster sends one stream to its cloud servers, which distribute it to selected platforms. The web app supports more than 50 compatible platforms and custom RTMP destinations, and it can relay video from OBS, Wirecast, Streamlabs, and other streaming software. This makes it useful both as a multistreaming endpoint for an existing production setup and as a service with its own Windows and mobile tools.

The plan names refer to streaming-channel allowances, but the maximum is four destinations. Even Premium’s ten-channel allowance therefore does not let one broadcast reach more than four destinations. That cap suits creators with a focused set of outlets, not those who need wider simultaneous distribution.

Key features

Cloud multistreaming: Sending one stream to Streamster’s servers avoids sending a separate stream from the device to every platform. It is a practical fit for creators who want to distribute a broadcast across several services, subject to the four-destination maximum.
Windows production tools: The Windows app includes recording, multiple video sources, screen capture, image overlays, filters, and remote control. It can serve creators who want these production functions alongside multistreaming, but the desktop app is not available for macOS.
Mobile streaming and control: iOS and Android apps support live multistreaming, camera and orientation selection, and adjustable resolution, bitrate, and frame rate. They can also remotely control desktop streams, giving users a way to manage broadcasts from a phone.
Transcoding: Server-side transcoding can apply different video settings for different destinations. It is included in some paid plans, which may help when destination requirements differ; it is not a reason to assume every plan includes it.
VPN and privacy: The Windows app’s built-in VPN encrypts internet traffic and is available with paid plans. Streamster says it does not store or share broadcasters’ audio or video and uses privacy controls and employee access restrictions to safeguard information.

Pricing

Streamster has a free plan and monthly or hourly paid options. The free plan has no ads or Streamster watermark, no trial is offered, and the pricing FAQ says the free tier lets users try most features. Its limits are two streaming channels, a 4,000 kbps maximum bitrate, and a recommended maximum resolution of 720p. It is a sensible starting point for modest broadcasts, but not for users who need higher stated video ceilings.

Monthly plans suit regular use and raise the limits progressively: LITE costs 15.00 USD per month for four channels, 7,000 kbps, and recommended 1080p; REGULAR costs 30.00 USD per month for six channels, 10,000 kbps, and recommended 1080p; PROFESSIONAL costs 50.00 USD per month for eight channels, 15,000 kbps, and recommended 2K; PREMIUM costs 75.00 USD per month for ten channels, 25,000 kbps, and recommended 4K. Choose by the broadcast’s actual channel and video needs: paying more raises those ceilings, but does not lift the four-destination cap.

Hourly billing offers the same stated limits as the corresponding paid tiers: LITE Pay-per-use is 0.48 USD per hour, REGULAR Pay-per-use is 0.96 USD per hour, PROFESSIONAL Pay-per-use is 1.56 USD per hour, and PREMIUM Pay-per-use is 1.92 USD per hour. These options are better suited to occasional broadcasts than a monthly commitment, while frequent users may prefer the monthly tier matching their needs. Businesses can manage multiple users within one account and may receive higher discounts by paying in bulk.

Platforms

Streamster has web, Windows, iOS, and Android apps. The web app is not a browser-based studio, so it is not the right pick for someone who specifically needs to produce a broadcast entirely in a browser. The Windows app supplies the desktop production features; Mac users can use the browser app, but not the Windows desktop app.

Who it's for

Streamster fits creators who want cloud distribution to a handful of platforms, existing encoder users who need a restreaming service, and mobile broadcasters who value remote control of desktop streams. Its free tier is a low-commitment way to begin, while paid plans suit users who need higher bitrate or resolution ceilings. It is a weaker fit for Mac users seeking a native desktop app, browser-studio workflows, or broadcasts requiring more than four destinations.

Pros and cons

Pro: More than 50 compatible platforms, custom RTMP destinations, and support for external encoders give creators several ways to route a broadcast.
Pro: A watermark-free free plan and hourly paid options accommodate both trial use and occasional higher-limit streams.
Pro: Windows production tools and mobile remote control bring recording, overlays, screen capture, and stream management into the same offering.
Con: The four-destination maximum limits wider distribution, even on the ten-channel Premium plan.
Con: There is no browser-based studio, and the Windows desktop app is unavailable on macOS.
Con: Server-side transcoding is included only in some paid plans, so it should not be assumed at every price level.

Verdict

Choose Streamster if you want cloud multistreaming to a focused set of destinations, with a watermark-free free tier, flexible hourly plans, and desktop or mobile controls. Its paid tiers offer substantial bitrate and resolution headroom, but the four-destination cap is the main reason to look elsewhere if broad distribution is central to your workflow.
