TL;DR
- When and for whom: the Gyre Black Friday deal runs from November 15 to 30, on Start, Start+ and Pro+ plans for 3, 6 and 12 months. Monthly plans aren’t part of the sale. The price is the same for new users, people on the free trial and anyone already streaming with Gyre.
- How it works: the longer the plan, the more time you get for free. A yearly plan comes with 5 months free, a 6-month plan with 2 months free, and a 3-month plan costs 25% less.
- What you can do: buy a plan, move from monthly to a longer term, extend your plan early, upgrade, or add another plan next to yours. The price applies at checkout automatically, and unused days of your current plan are credited.
- Why it’s the biggest discount of the year: a regular yearly Gyre plan gives you 9 paid months and 3 free, which is 25% off. Until November 30, you pay for 7 months and get 5 free, which is almost 42% off. On Start+, that’s $693 instead of $891 for a regular yearly plan and $1,188 paid monthly. Black Friday runs into Cyber Monday: the name changes, the prices and terms don’t. Everything is valid through November 30.
- Why now: Q4 is the peak of the year for YouTube ad rates, so every hour your channel is on air earns more than usual. Black Friday is the cheapest moment of the year to get a discount on your 24/7 live stream on YouTube.
Black Friday prices on every Gyre plan
The big number in each cell is the Black Friday price. The struck-through one is what the same term costs if you pay month by month, and “keep” is what you save.
Yearly Start for $343 Yearly Start+ for $693 Yearly Pro+ for $1,183
Plans differ in how many streams run at the same time:
- Start: one HD stream.
- Start+: up to four HD streams or one in 4K.
- Pro+: up to eight HD streams or two in 4K.
Price per stream
The bigger the plan, the less each stream costs. Split the yearly Black Friday price by month and by stream, and here’s what you get:
- Start: $28.58 a month for one stream.
- Start+: $14.44 a month for each of four streams.
- Pro+: $12.32 a month for each of eight streams.
Per day, a 24/7 stream on a yearly Pro+ plan costs $0.41, and on Start+ it costs $0.47. Streaming hours and connected channels are unlimited on every plan.
The rules in short
- Pick 3, 6 or 12 months. On 12 months you pay for 7 and get 5 free. On 6 months you pay for 4 and get 2 free. On 3 months you pay 25% less.
- Pay as usual. The Black Friday price is already in the total at checkout. There’s no Gyre promo code to enter, and it doesn’t stack with other discounts.
- The longer the term, the longer the sale price lasts. The Black Friday price covers the whole term you pay for. When it ends, your plan moves to monthly billing at the regular price. So if you’re in it for the long run, take one, two or three years: every year you pay for now comes with 5 months free. We remind you before billing.
- Change plans without losing money. If you switch, extend or upgrade during the sale, the unused days of your current plan are credited.
Started on a smaller plan to test Gyre? Now you know it works on your channel. Black Friday is the best moment to move to a bigger plan for the long term: unused days are credited, and the new term comes with 5 months free.
For $8.75 more a month, you get four streams instead of one. Paying $49 a month for Start? A yearly Start+ plan comes to $57.75 a month: 4 HD streams or one in 4K.
How to get the Gyre Black Friday deal
What to do depends on where you are with Gyre right now. Find your row: the third column shows how much you keep.
| Where you are | What to do | What you keep |
|---|---|---|
| New to Gyre | Get a yearly Start+ plan for $693 on the pricing page, or start with the 7-day free trial | $495 a year compared with paying monthly |
| On the free trial | Pick a plan in your dashboard before the trial ends | $495 a year on a yearly Start+ plan compared with paying monthly |
| Paying $99 a month for Start+ | Switch to 12 months in your dashboard | $495 a year, and unused days are credited |
| On Start+ and short on streams | Move to a yearly Pro+ plan | You pay less than now ($98.58 a month) and get twice the streams |
| On a yearly Start+ or Pro+ plan | Extend it now. The new term is added to your current one, so you don’t lose any paid days | $198 on Start+ or $338 on Pro+ compared with a regular yearly plan |
| In it for the long run | Pay for 2 or 3 years | Over 3 years, 15 months free: $1,485 on Start+ and $2,535 on Pro+ |

If you’re new to Gyre
- Open the pricing page and choose a plan by the number of streams you need.
- Choose 3, 6 or 12 months.
- Sign up and pay. Your stream can be on air the same day.
Want to see Gyre on your own channel first? Start the 7-day free trial: one HD stream runs non-stop for 168 hours. A card is required, nothing is charged that day, and you can cancel in one click. Pick a plan before the trial ends, and you’ll get the Black Friday price.
If you’re already with Gyre
Open your dashboard. Your files, playlists and streams stay as they are, whatever you choose.
- Paying monthly: switch to 3, 6 or 12 months. The unused days of your current month go toward the new term.
- On a longer plan: extend it now. The new term starts when the current one ends, and you pay the Black Friday price for it.
- Close to your stream limit: upgrade, for example from Start+ to Pro+. The unused days of your current plan are credited, so you pay only the difference. Or keep your plan and add another one next to it.
Your plan ends on January 1, or in May? Don’t wait. Extend it now: the term you buy is added to your current one, and you don’t lose a single paid day. You simply pay for next year a few months early, at the lowest price of the year.
You can take 2 or 3 years. Every yearly term at the Black Friday price comes with 7 paid months and 5 free. Three years of Pro+ cost $3,549 instead of $6,084 paid monthly: that’s 15 months free and $2,535 you keep. Three years without thinking about renewal.
Why Q4 decides how profitable your next year will be
Every year, November and December bring the biggest ad budgets on YouTube. Brands plan their holiday campaigns months ahead and compete for every ad slot, so ad rates climb. In YouTube Analytics data from 404 channels, live RPM in December was about 2.4 times higher than in January. We break down why this happens, and why live streams gain the most from it, in our guide to Q4 RPM for 24/7 streams.
For your channel, this means one thing: the more hours you spend on air in November and December, the more you earn. Viewers have more free time over the holidays, and every hour of watch time pays more than at any other point in the year. A 24/7 stream keeps your channel live through all of it, using videos you’ve already made.
Buy today, and you get new features as soon as they ship. We’re already preparing a big update:
- Radio. Keep your sound on air around the clock, not only your videos.
- Gyre in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Manage your streams right from the AI assistant you already use. Ask it to start a stream, change a playlist or schedule a stream for the weekend, and it does that in your dashboard.
Why a longer plan pays off on YouTube
A 24/7 stream pays off over months. YouTube gives live streams the same notifications and recommendation logic as regular live broadcasts, and a channel that stays on air for months builds up the watch time, sessions and retention data that a short burst can’t. Here is what that looks like on the gaming channel StrEat, which ran four 24/7 streams next to its regular uploads.
No gaps on your channel
Each time a plan lapses, your streams stop and the channel goes quiet. A year takes the renewal question off the table until next fall, and the stream scheduler handles restarts, weekend slots and holiday streams for you.
Old videos back in recommendations
A stream built from your back catalog brings new views to videos you published years ago. Which setup fits your channel best? Here are 6 ways to use 24/7 streams to match your YouTube strategy and your Gyre plan. It works on small channels too: a music channel with about 8K subscribers grew its views more than 8 times with Gyre streams.

What you get with every Gyre plan in 2026
Every paid plan comes with the same core of Gyre.
Stability you can plan around
Streams run from our cloud, on a dedicated server and IP that come with every plan. The broadcast doesn’t depend on your computer or your home internet, so it keeps going while you’re offline or away. We keep uptime at 99.9% and support YouTube’s backup stream. If Gyre turns out not to fit your channel, you can get a refund within 14 days of payment, as long as your total streaming time hasn’t gone over 10 hours.
Monetized and within YouTube’s rules
Gyre is on YouTube’s official list of YouTube Live verified encoders. Your stream is a standard YouTube live broadcast: it shows up in the Live tab, takes part in recommendations and can be monetized, with mid-roll ads set in YouTube Studio. You get the reach of live without putting your channel’s standing at risk.
One setup, months on air
Build a playlist once, and Gyre plays your videos in order and starts over when the last one ends. The scheduler starts and stops streams at the times you set, weeks ahead and across time zones. Want to change what’s playing? Edit the playlist of a running stream, and Gyre restarts it in the same broadcast. Sign in with Google, and Gyre creates the broadcast on your channel through the YouTube API, which makes setup up to 3 times faster. Here’s how the full YouTube automation works.
Trusted at every scale
Gyre has been around since 2019, and creators have launched more than 1 million streams with it. The same platform runs 24/7 channels for NBCUniversal, BBC Studios and WildBrain, including Top Gear and National Geographic content. On a Black Friday plan, you get that infrastructure for your own channel.

For partners: the best time to share Gyre
If you’ve been thinking about joining a referral program, Black Friday is the time to do it. Creators who were on the fence finally buy, and many of them buy longer plans. Every one of those purchases counts for the partner who brought them.
The Gyre Affiliate Program pays recurring commission of 10% to 20% on every payment your referrals make, renewals included. When someone you referred buys a yearly plan, your commission for the whole year is credited at once. For example, your referral buys a yearly Pro+ plan for $1,183, and you get $118 to $237 right away, depending on your level in the program. A free Gyre account is enough to join, and we back our partners with materials for every campaign. Here’s how much partners earn and how to start with the Gyre affiliate program.
