Playlists shouldn't cost $99/mo

📡

One source, multiple destinations

Beamd Starter includes 3 live destinations. The Creator plan ($49/mo) includes 10 across 3 streams, Pro includes 18 across 5 streams, and Business includes 35 across 10 streams. A 4K output uses 4 destination slots.

💾

More storage for less money

Common questions

Things people ask when switching from Gyre.

No. Beamd is 100% cloud-based, the same as Gyre. Once a stream is running, your computer can be off. Platform time limits, account access and interruptions can still affect a broadcast.

Upload your original video files to Beamd, build your playlist and connect your destination. Beamd does not currently offer a direct Gyre import. Keep a copy of your source files before changing services.

Yes. Connect YouTube with your Google account, or add a stream key and server URL for a supported RTMP destination such as Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, Kick, TikTok, X or Rumble. Your platform account needs access to live streaming. Starter includes 3 simultaneous destinations; higher plans include more. Platform duration and format limits still apply.

Compare the workflow you need, not just the entry price. Beamd includes playlists and scheduled starts on every plan, weekly Programming on Pro and Business, and 4K on Pro and Business. Gyre offers a different set of stream allowances and tools. Try your own content and destination before choosing. Neither service guarantees viewers or revenue.

Your streams will stop and you'll be prompted to subscribe. No surprise charges. We do not ask for a card during the trial. You choose a plan when you're ready. If you decide Beamd isn't right for you, just don't subscribe and nothing happens.
