Evmux vs. Restream

Evmux and Restream are one-stop streaming solutions to broadcast on multiple social media platforms. From studio to pricing, both are vastly different. This is the final Evmux vs. Restream battle.

What are both

Both are web-based broadcasting software to live stream interviews, podcasts, discussions, meetings, etc., on social media.

Both allow you to invite guests and share your screen for presentations. However, certain limits are placed on the free plans.

Streaming

Restream takes the cake, as it supports over 25 platforms, including:

• Facebook (profile, groups, and pages)
• Twitch
• YouTube
• Telegram
• DLive
• Dailymotion
• Huya
• Twitter
• LinkedIn (profile and page)

Besides that, it supports RTMP-supported services that Restram doesn’t directly support.

Streaming studio

Both have a studio with many options, including:

• Webcam

• Other brand settings

Both offer options to manage the webcam and microphone, reduce noise, and invite guests. Also, we find platform-specific options to personalize the stream.

Multi-streaming

Analytics

Only basic statistics are available on Evmux. The top section shows the total speakers, sessions, broadcast time, and storage.

Restream provides detailed graphical and textual analytics of streaming sessions and users.

The app also supports cross-platform analytics to get data from social media platforms and display it on a single screen.

Furthermore, it monitors the stream’s health to ensure no interruptions. Here are a few supported data types:

• Streaming sessions (viewers, followers, messages, chat trends, and monitor incoming and outgoing bit-rate and frame rate)
• Stream metrics (all streams, average duration, and stream time)
• Chat (messages, chatter, and chat trends)
• Audience (average viewers, all viewers, and watched minutes)

Recording

Both do not support recording the studio or streams for free.

Customization

Interface

Evmux takes the lead when it comes to customization. It lets you customize in two ways: dynamic and pro scenes. In the dynamic scene, you can customize the following:

• Banner theme and color
• Lower thirds
• Logo (premium)
• Overlays, video clips, and backgrounds

Evmux offers 14 overlays, 12 video clips, and 26 background templates. The Pro scene allows for customization in multiple layers.

There are over 42 Pro Scene templates. You can add draggable layers consisting of the following elements:

• Animated caption
• Text
• Slideshow
• Media files
• Guest and speakers
• Host and guest’s screen
• Host and guest’s local video

Restream’s customization is similar to Evmux’s dynamic scene management. You can customize the banner’s theme, color, overlays, logos (premium), video clips, and backgrounds.

Unfortunately, you can’t upload local files on the free plan. However, it offers 14 overlays, 12 video clips, and 31 background templates.

Background music

Both provide built-in background music. Evmux has over six sound effects and 17 audio options, whereas Restream offers four free and four paid background audio files.

Integrations

Restream is a massive program supporting many third-party apps. As mentioned, it supports tools like OBS, Zoom, and Streamlabs.

It also supports Streamlabs Mobile to stream from your phone and console apps to stream from gaming consoles.

---

With Restream’s free version, you get six on-screen participants and multi-streaming on two sources. It offers two paid plans:

The Standard plan costs $16 or $19 if you want to go monthly. It provides these premium features:

• Stream on up to 5 platforms
• stream on Facebook pages and groups
• Ten on-screen guests
• Up to 6 hours of streaming

The Professional package costs $41 monthly ($49 if paid monthly). Along with standard plan features:

• Multi-stream to 8 destinations
• Record streams for up to 10 hours

Conclusion

The decision depends on what you want: more time or full HD + customizations. Evmux provides more customization options and supports HD streaming, but it limits streaming to two hours.

Restream streams are not full HD for free, but there is no limit.

Evmux is a new platform, hence cost-effective. Restream is an experienced service with more supported platforms and features. I suggest using Restream for general usage.
