The four things we hear most from people who made the move.
Gyre locks playlist streaming behind their START+ plan at $99/mo. That's the feature most creators need from day one. Beamd includes playlists on every paid plan from $19/mo.
Gyre sends your stream to one platform per stream key — no simultaneous multistreaming. Beamd's Creator plan ($29/mo) lets you stream one feed to up to 10 platforms at the same time.
Beamd's $19 Starter includes 50GB of video storage. Gyre's $49 START plan includes only 35GB — you pay more than double and get less space.
Gyre's 7-day trial puts a watermark on your stream. Beamd gives you a full 72-hour trial with no credit card required — your stream looks exactly as it will when you subscribe.
Things people ask when switching from Gyre.
No — Beamd is 100% cloud-based, the same as Gyre. Once you start a stream, it runs on our servers indefinitely. You can close your laptop, go to sleep, travel — your stream keeps running without any input from you.
Yes. Download your videos from Gyre's storage and upload them to Beamd. There's no migration tool yet (it's on the roadmap), but the process is straightforward — upload your files, build your playlist, connect your channel, and go live. Most users have their first stream running within 15 minutes of signing up.
Yes — Beamd works with any platform that accepts an RTMP stream key, including YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, TikTok, Kick, and more. You can stream to multiple platforms simultaneously on the Creator plan and above.
Beamd is built on the same infrastructure model as Gyre — cloud-based, no software to install, fully automated loops. What Beamd doesn't have yet: Instagram and X support, 4K streaming, and a built-in video converter (on the roadmap). What Beamd does better: price, playlist access, storage, multistreaming, and a cleaner trial experience. If you need 4K or Instagram specifically, Gyre may be the right call. For most creators, Beamd is the better deal.
Your streams will stop and you'll be prompted to subscribe. No surprise charges — we don't 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.
No credit card. No watermark. Your first stream live in under 5 minutes.
