Streamable vs Enhanced IRL: what we can verify, and what we can't
Prices for other services on this page were taken from their official websites on August 27, 2026 and copied without rounding or currency conversion. They may have changed since; check before you buy.
If you are comparing IRL streaming services, the least useful thing we could do is invent numbers for a competitor and then win the table we built. So this page starts with what we could not confirm, says so plainly, and then puts our own side on the record in full so you can compare it against whatever their site shows you today.
What we could not check
On the verification date shown above, the Streamable pricing page would not serve us its contents. Second-hand listings put it somewhere in the region of $60 to $180 a month, and that is exactly the kind of number we refuse to build a comparison table on: we did not read it on their site, so we cannot vouch for it, for what tier it belongs to, or for whether it is current.
Treat that range as approximate, and check their pricing page yourself before you decide anything. If their numbers turn out to be different from what you expected, that is a point in favour of checking rather than trusting a comparison page — including ours.
Why publish the page at all
Because the comparison is a fair question and you deserve half of it answered. Everything below is our side, specified to the point where you can price it against any competitor without asking us anything.
Everything we sell, in full
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Stream Key Lite | €5/month | One stream key with RTMP, SRT and SRTLA ingest up to 9,000 kbps, in the zone you pick. Relay only: it feeds your own OBS or the platform. |
| Stream Key | €9/month | The same relay, plus managed automatic scene switching and remote control of the OBS running on your own machine. |
| OBS Basic | €29/month | A cloud OBS on a dedicated GPU at 720p60, with automatic scene switching included. No remote desktop on this tier. |
| OBS Standard | €59/month | Cloud OBS at 1080p30 — thirty frames, not sixty — with remote desktop access and two stream keys. |
| OBS Pro | €89/month | Cloud OBS at 1080p60 with remote desktop and three stream keys. This is our ceiling. |
Monthly, in euros, VAT included, cancel any time. Ingest in Europe, Asia and US East; the Cloud OBS machines are in Europe only. We do not offer a free trial.
How to compare any of these services in five minutes
This is the checklist we would use ourselves, and it is deliberately not weighted in our favour:
- Does it de-bond SRTLA, or only accept SRT? If you stream from a bonded encoder and the service only lists SRT, your links will not be reassembled. This is a yes-or-no question and vague answers are answers.
- What is the ingest bitrate ceiling? Not the output quality — the ceiling on what you can send in. Ours is 9,000 kbps on the relay plans and 6,000 to 10,000 kbps on Cloud OBS. Some competitors accept substantially more for similar money.
- Is there a real OBS, or an editor that resembles one? A browser pipeline builder and an OBS Studio you log into are different products at similar prices. Ask whether you get a remote desktop.
- Where are the ingest servers, and do they publish the list? The first hop from your modems is the fragile one. "Automatic routing" without a published region list is not something you can plan a trip around.
- What happens the moment your signal dies? A placeholder image, a scene you designed, or nothing at all? Ask what the viewer sees and whether the platform ends the broadcast.
- Monthly or hourly, and are taxes included? An hourly price beats any subscription if you stream rarely. And a price with VAT in it is not comparable to one that adds tax at checkout.
Where we are strong, and where we are not
A comparison page that only lists the ways we win is an advertisement. Both halves:
- Cloud OBS price. A real OBS Studio on a GPU from €29/month, against $129/month at the best-known managed competitor. This is the gap we are most comfortable defending.
- SRTLA on every plan. Including the €5 one. There is no bonding tier and no upgrade to unlock it.
- We publish where the servers are. Ingest in Europe, Asia and US East, Cloud OBS in Europe. Not "the nearest region".
- Automatic scene switching is included. On every Cloud OBS plan, and on the €9 relay plan for the OBS you run at home.
- We are not the cheapest relay any more. There are services giving substantially more ingest bitrate for around the same money as our relay plans. If raw bitrate per euro is your only criterion, you can do better than us.
- Our €59 tier is 1080p at 30 fps. Not 60. Sixty frames at 1080p is the €89 tier. We are not going to blur that line to make a table look better.
- 1080p60 is the ceiling. No 4K, and no plans to pretend otherwise.
- The Cloud OBS is in Europe only. Your ingest can be local; the OBS machine is not. If you stream from Asia or the US, that matters and we would rather you knew now.
- No free trial. You pay for the first month like everyone else.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Streamable cost?
We do not know, and we are not going to guess. Their pricing page did not load for us on the verification date at the top of this page. Second-hand listings suggest a range of roughly $60 to $180 a month, which we publish as hearsay and nothing more — check their own site.
Why does this page not have a comparison table?
Because half of it would be made up. A table implies both columns were verified to the same standard, and ours were not. When we can read their published prices on their own site, this page gets a table.
What does Enhanced IRL cost?
From €5/month for a relay key with RTMP, SRT and SRTLA, and from €29/month for a cloud OBS on a dedicated GPU, up to €89/month for 1080p60. Monthly, in euros, with VAT included and no commitment.
Is Enhanced IRL the cheapest option?
For a full cloud OBS, we are a long way below the best-known managed competitor and we will happily argue that case. For a relay key on its own, no: there are services offering more ingest bitrate for similar money, and pretending otherwise would not survive five minutes of your research.
