On August 29, 2024, we introduced three new subscription plans: Core, Advanced, and Teams. Each new plan comes with its own unique perks, including brand-new features. These plans have replaced our legacy, non-business subscription offerings: Essential, Starter, Basic, Professional, Premium, and Growth.

Introducing the Core, Advanced, and Teams plans

Starting on August 29, all our current StreamYard non-business customers will be transitioned to the new plans. In each case, customers will be moved to the plan that gives them equal or greater functionality:

  • Customers on Essential, Starter, and Basic plans will be transitioned to Core
  • Customers on the Professional plan will be transitioned to Advanced
  • Customers on the Premium or Growth plan will be transitioned to Teams
  • Free users will remain on the Free plan
  • Business customers will remain on their custom Business plans

With the new plans, we’re introducing several exciting features designed to elevate your StreamYard experience. Our Core and Advanced plans also include advanced features that were formerly only available in higher-cost plans.

Five exciting new features

In addition to the existing features, our updated plans offer five powerful new features:

  • Reusable studios. Capture several takes in the same studio without creating new broadcasts—ideal for producing multiple episodes and shows. Reusable studios can be used for live streams or recorded videos. Included in all paid plans.
  • 4K local recordings. Achieve the highest quality resolution with local recordings to bring your audiences crystal-clear and high quality content far above the previous HD standards. Included in our Advanced, Teams, and Business plans.
  • 1080p screen sharing. Share your screen in full HD (up from 720p!) and let your viewers enjoy every detail. Included in all paid plans.
  • Camera shapes. Customize the shape and edges of your cameras. Squares, circles and rounded rectangles are now available. Included in all plans.
  • Dark mode. Apply dark mode to both your dashboard and broadcast to extend your battery, prevent glare, and match your preferred device theme. Included in all plans.
