WHY 168 HOURS MATTER
24 hours shows you the dashboard, not the result. Views, watch time and ranking build up while a live stream stays on air, so a 24/7 stream needs days, not hours, to show what it can do.
7×more airtime than 24 hours to see real results on your own channel

LiveReacting features and LiveReacting uptime terms come from its public pages, checked in November 2026. Choosing the best 24/7 live streaming software for your channel? See the full list of Gyre features.
LiveReacting prices its 24/7 plan at 1080p30: $33 a month for a single stream billed annually, or $25.41 a stream from four streams. 60fps costs 1.5 times as much, 4K twice as much, and 4K at 60fps three times as much. On Gyre, 60fps comes on every paid plan, and 4K from Start+ costs the same at 30 or 60fps. So the 24/7 live stream cost depends on frame rate: LiveReacting pricing is lower for one stream at 30fps, and Gyre pricing is the cheapest 24/7 live stream option at 60fps from four streams up.
LiveReacting at 1080p60: $38.12 a stream billed annually, $46.19 monthly from four streams; $49.50 a month billed annually ($594 a year) or $59.98 monthly for a single stream. We compare regular prices, without special offers.
Each live stream is a separate live video on your channel, with its own title, thumbnail and audience. Many Gyre customers run 10 to 30 streams on one channel. With Google sign-in, Gyre creates the broadcast on your channel through the YouTube API. Set a start time in the calendar and Gyre starts it for you.

Only Gyre. Gyre is on YouTube’s official list, linked in the sources below. LiveReacting's own comparison page says it is not on the list and streams through the YouTube API.
It depends on what you stream. LiveReacting fits interactive shows: polls, trivia, guests, overlays and templates, plus a free plan for short tests. Gyre fits a channel that stays on air around the clock: 60fps on every paid plan, 4K without multipliers, a YouTube Live verified encoder and a full week of real 24/7 to test. Among LiveReacting alternatives, Gyre is the one built only for 24/7.
Not as a 24/7 stream. LiveReacting's free plan gives you 90 minutes a month, as three streams of up to 30 minutes, in 720p with a watermark. Gyre's trial gives you 7 full days, 168 hours of continuous Full HD streaming, with playlists and the scheduler.
Yes, on Gyre. Each platform gets its own stream slot, with its own playlist and schedule, all from one account: YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, X, Kick, Telegram and Mixcloud. On LiveReacting, one stream goes to up to 5 destinations at once with the same content. Facebook and Instagram limit a single live broadcast to about 8 and 4 hours.
In 24/7 mode, if the platform's receiving server closes the connection, we reconnect within 1–2 seconds in our tests, so your broadcast keeps going. Every customer streams from their own server, with 99.9% uptime.
Yes, and for a full week: LiveReacting's free plan gives 90 minutes a month at 720p. The 7-day trial runs one Full HD stream for 168 hours nonstop, with playlists, the scheduler and a Gyre watermark. It needs a credit card. We ask for a card because a nonstop stream runs on a real server. You won't be charged today. After day 7 it converts to Start+, four Full HD streams for $99 a month, unless you pick another plan or cancel.
Yes. Gyre streams from its own servers, so you don't need a computer, OBS or an encoder running on your side. Upload your videos or import them from Google Drive or Dropbox, build a playlist, connect YouTube with Google sign-in, and go live with a 24/7 live stream on YouTube that keeps running when your computer is off. LiveReacting sends one stream to up to 5 destinations; Gyre gives every platform a separate stream instead. Step-by-step guide: Can you stream prerecorded videos as live on YouTube?
We're the Gyre team, so we have a stake in this comparison.
