Runnel.Live vs Streamingbots.com
Runnel.live and Streamingbots.com are both 24/7 livestreaming services- which means you can add pre-recorded content and stream it 24/7 to a platform like YouTube. However, they excel in different areas.
Runnel.live is focused on price, whereas Streamingbots is focused on simple live radios. Let’s take a look.
Streamingbots - Excels with radios, at a cost
Section titled “Streamingbots - Excels with radios, at a cost”When streaming pre-recorded content that are just videos, Runnel and Streamingbots are functionally the same, with Runnel even being cheaper.
However, Streamingbots comes with the perk of simple radio setup, with just an image or GIF and audio on top of it. This can make it the stand-out solution for people who want something really easy to get going with.
Despite this, Streamingbots is still more expensive than Runnel, and may be overkill for the similar features it offers.
Runnel.live - Budget-focused
Section titled “Runnel.live - Budget-focused”Unlike Streamingbots, Runnel does not exist to provide features like easy radio setup, but instead aims to deliver a good service for pre-recorded videos at the lowest price in the industry.
Streamingbots starts at $20 per month per stream for 1080p@30fps streaming, with no way to upgrade to 4K.
Runnel.live starts at, and is always, $6 per month per stream. This includes 4K streaming! Here are some benefits:
- Cheap 4K@60fps streaming
- Lightweight team access
- Unlimited storage and streams
- Flat $6/month/stream after one-time upload costs.
Disregarding easy radio setup, Runnel and Streamingbots are functionally the same.
What one should I use?
Section titled “What one should I use?”If you want to set up a live radio quickly, have a background and some audio, and want to save $10 over Upstream, Streamingbots is a good option.
However, if you’re only starting out, or want something cheap and simple, Runnel.live is the choice.
