EchoStream review
A low-cost RTMP relay with looping playback, chat, and analytics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
EchoStream is a cloud multistreaming relay for creators and streamers who send one RTMP feed from software such as OBS to multiple destinations. It forwards copies without extra uploads or re-encoding, supporting encoder-based live streams and uploaded video playlists. Destinations include YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Kick, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, and custom RTMP or SRT endpoints. The web panel also provides destination status, viewer counts, stream history, unified chat, and browser-based overlays.
Pricing is straightforward across three monthly plans. Starter costs $9 per month and includes 2 restream targets, 1 simultaneous stream, 14 platforms, Custom RTMP, and 7-day analytics. Pro costs $19 per month, raises the allowance to 5 restream targets, and adds unified chat, chat overlay, upload and stream, and 90-day analytics while retaining 1 simultaneous stream. Ultimate costs $39 per month and includes 12 restream targets, 2 simultaneous streams, unified chat and chat overlay, upload and stream with a 24/7 loop, and priority support. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no permanent free plan.
The standout fit is continuous playback: uploaded playlists can loop and run 24/7, making EchoStream useful for always-on channels alongside live encoder workflows. Regional relay nodes and integrations across web, API, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux broaden its operating options. The trade-off is that EchoStream is a relay rather than a browser studio, and scheduling is not included. Choose it if you already stream through an encoder and need affordable multistreaming, custom destinations, chat, analytics, or looping. Choose an alternative if browser-based production or built-in scheduling is essential.
