Restream is a competent platform with a reasonable complaint record. The multi-destination streaming works, and the cloud-based infrastructure means your stream continues even if your local internet has hiccups. The main complaints cluster around the pricing tier structure (the free tier is very limited) and occasional destination-specific encoding issues.
A solid choice for creators who prioritize reach across many platforms simultaneously.
