Streampal vs Restream
Restream is one of the best known multistreaming services. You point your encoder at it and it forwards your stream to the platforms you connect, with a browser studio for guests and on-screen graphics.
The honest version
If all you want is a mature, well supported multistream relay with a browser studio for interviews and guest calls, Restream does that job well and has done for years. Streampal is the better fit when going live is one part of what you need rather than the whole thing.
