In an attempt at capturing data with the utmost accuracy and not misrepresent anyone, we have taken screenshots of each provider's pricing page. We strongly encourage any and all feedback if any information is not correct or up to date. We feel that our pricing and features stands up when compared side-by-side, but we want you to be able to see for yourself. These are in no particular order, but we did put Omnia Livestream as the first livestream provider so you could see our pricing upfront and easily to compare with the rest.

Things to look for:
- When using their calculator to put in an average church's livestream behavior they recommend the $188/mo plan, so the Starter Plan doesn't seem to really be for churches.

Things to look for:
- Their Multistream plans do not allow you to save the Live video for on-demand viewing later and do not include an embeddable player, meaning the cheapest plan would be the $50/mo for an avg church
- The Premium plan is the only plan that includes Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) transcoding, which adjusts the bitrate of your video according to the viewers internet connection speed.
- HLS is only supported on Premium Plan
- $50/mo plan comes with 25 GB Storage
