How much is IRLToolkit? Cloud OBS pricing in 2026
Last updated: August 2026. IRLToolkit prices taken from irltoolkit.com.
The short answer
IRLToolkit publishes two monthly plans: Standard at $129/month and Advanced at $179/month. There is no cheaper entry tier and no relay-only option. For comparison, Enhanced IRL cloud OBS starts at €29/month and a relay-only stream key at €5/month.
IRLToolkit plans and prices
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $129/month | 1080p60 output up to 7,500 kbps, streaming to 2 destinations at once. |
| Advanced | $179/month | No resolution or bitrate cap, up to 5 destinations, priority support. |
Billed monthly in US dollars, cancel anytime. We re-check these numbers roughly once a quarter, not every day: confirm on their site before you decide.
What does $129 a month actually buy?
Both plans are the same product at different caps. What you are paying for is:
- A dedicated NVIDIA GPU machine running OBS around the clock, so nothing encodes on your phone or your home PC.
- A web dashboard to control that OBS from anywhere, including from your phone while you are out.
- Ingest over RTMP, SRT and SRTLA, so a bonding encoder like a Belabox connects directly.
- Protection when your mobile signal drops: the broadcast cuts to a BRB scene instead of ending.
- Multistreaming to several platforms at once — 2 destinations on Standard, 5 on Advanced.
- Nothing to install, patch or babysit: no VPS of your own.
What the same job costs at Enhanced IRL
Enhanced IRL splits that bundle into three products you buy separately, so you only pay for the part you need. All prices are monthly, in euros, cancel anytime.
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Stream Key Lite | €5/month | Relay only: RTMP/SRT/SRTLA ingest up to 9,000 kbps, in front of your own OBS or straight to your platform. |
| Stream Key | €9/month | The same relay, plus connecting and controlling the OBS on your home PC from our dashboard. |
| OBS Basic | €29/month | Cloud OBS at 720p60 on a dedicated GPU, output up to 4,000 kbps, scene control over OBS WebSocket. |
| OBS Standard | €59/month | Cloud OBS at 1080p30, output up to 5,000 kbps, with the real OBS Studio interface in your browser. |
| OBS Pro | €89/month | Cloud OBS at 1080p60, output up to 8,000 kbps, 3 stream keys. |
| Failover | €9–€29/month | A standalone relay that splices in your offline screen when your connection drops: €9, €19 and €29 for up to 5, 10 and 15 Mbps. |
What it adds up to over a year
- IRLToolkit Standard: $129 × 12 = $1,548 a year.
- IRLToolkit Advanced: $179 × 12 = $2,148 a year.
- Enhanced IRL OBS Pro (1080p60): €89 × 12 = €1,068 a year.
- Enhanced IRL OBS Basic (720p60): €29 × 12 = €348 a year.
- Enhanced IRL Stream Key Lite (relay only): €5 × 12 = €60 a year.
One is priced in dollars and the other in euros, so the gap moves with the exchange rate, and taxes depend on where you are. Neither service asks for a year up front: both bill monthly.
Which one is cheaper for your setup?
- You stream 1080p60 to a single platform. OBS Pro at €89/month against Standard at $129/month. Same resolution and framerate; our output tops out at 8,000 kbps against their 7,500 kbps.
- You already run OBS at home and only need a relay. Stream Key Lite at €5/month, or €9 if you also want to drive that local OBS from our dashboard. IRLToolkit does not sell a relay-only plan, so the comparison is €5 against $129.
- You just want your broadcast to survive a dropout. Failover from €9/month, on its own, with no cloud OBS at all.
- You multistream, or you need 4K. IRLToolkit. Enhanced IRL does not do multistreaming yet, and 1080p60 is our ceiling.
Frequently asked questions
How much is IRLToolkit?
$129 a month for the Standard plan and $179 a month for Advanced, billed monthly in US dollars. Those are the only two published plans.
How much is toolkit streaming per month?
Cloud OBS is priced per month, per machine, not per hour or per gigabyte. IRLToolkit is $129–$179. Enhanced IRL is €29–€89 for cloud OBS, or €5–€9 if you only need a relay key in front of the OBS you already run.
Does IRLToolkit have a cheaper plan than $129?
Not a published one: Standard is the entry tier. If $129 a month is more than you want to spend, the options are a smaller cloud OBS elsewhere — Enhanced IRL OBS Basic is €29/month for 720p60 — or dropping cloud OBS entirely and paying €5/month for a relay key in front of your own OBS.
Is Enhanced IRL cheaper than IRLToolkit for 1080p60?
On the published prices, yes: €89/month for OBS Pro against $129/month for IRLToolkit Standard. The trade-off is multistreaming, which IRLToolkit has and we do not.
