The bottom line

Resi fits organizations that need resilient streaming, but check bandwidth and destination caps before switching.

Resi covers live, on-demand and multisite video, with automated scheduling, video republishing and resilient streaming. According to the pricing page, plans start at $49/month for on-demand hosting; live streaming starts at $99/month for social-only broadcasts, $159/month for website streaming and $499/month for two-destination multisite streaming. There’s no free plan, and a free trial is not listed.

The limits matter: Starter Lite includes 200 GB of monthly website bandwidth, while Pro includes 1 TB; the listed Pro (Multisite) plan covers two destinations. Enterprise live pricing is not published, and Studio AI and other add-on prices are not published. The published Reddit material contains no relevant Resi customer discussion, so it offers no usable signal on user satisfaction.

01What Resi actually does

Resi is a video platform for organizations that need live, on-demand, or multi-site streaming. It combines streaming software, hardware, and support for groups in faith, education, government, and events. Its Resilient Streaming Protocol is designed to keep video smooth when internet conditions become unstable; that is a design goal, not a promise that every connection will hold up.

The plans are divided by use case, so the $49-per-month starting price is for on-demand hosting, not live website streaming. Starter Lite, for website streaming, is $159 per month and includes 200 GB of monthly bandwidth. Other features include Facebook and YouTube simulcasting, automated scheduling, rebroadcasting stored video as simulated live events, and Studio AI tools for clips, transcripts, and scheduling. The pricing page does not publish a price for Studio AI.

02Where Resi is strong

Resi’s clearest advantage is that its plan menu covers several different streaming jobs, rather than treating every customer as a website broadcaster. That can help organizations compare the cost of the destination and capacity they actually need before switching.

  • Social Only is $99 per month for unlimited broadcasts to Facebook and YouTube, up to 1080p at 60 fps, seven-day temporary video storage, and one ProPresenter Encoder license.
  • Starter Lite costs $159 per month and includes website streaming, 200 GB of monthly bandwidth, three adaptive bitrate levels, and a white-labeled embed player. Pro is $299 per month, with 1 TB of monthly website and app bandwidth, 30-day temporary storage, and DASH and HLS app streaming.
  • For local or remote venues, the multisite plans list two destinations: Pro (Multisite) is $499 per month, while Enterprise (Multisite) is $669 per month and adds up to 4K UHD at 30 fps.

The range makes Resi worth considering when social, web, app, and venue streaming need to sit under one provider. Automated scheduling and simulated-live rebroadcasts may also suit teams with recurring events.

03Where it falls short

The caps matter, and the cheapest live option is not a general-purpose live plan. Starter Lite includes 200 GB of website bandwidth per month; the $299 Pro plan raises that to 1 TB. Enterprise (Live Streaming) lists up to 5 TB, but its price is not published. If your audience or viewing hours grow, the published pricing does not show what additional capacity costs.

The plan limits also differ by destination. Social Only is for Facebook and YouTube, while website streaming starts with Starter Lite. Multisite plans list two destinations; Overflow is for one local overflow location, and LAN + Cloud Failover covers two local destinations. These are specific setups, not evidence of unlimited venue coverage.

On-demand storage is capped by plan: Starter has 1 TB, Pro has 7 TB, and Enterprise has 15 TB. Temporary storage on live plans is seven or 30 days, depending on tier. Several add-ons—including Studio AI, RTMP destinations, and automated subtitles—have no published price. Buyers should confirm the full quote and capacity needs before switching.

04Resi pricing: what you'll actually pay

Resi starts at $49 per month for Starter (On Demand), with 1 TB of cloud storage. Pricing depends on what you need: Starter Lite website streaming is $159 per month, while Pro is $299 and includes 1 TB of website and app bandwidth. That’s a $140 monthly jump for the higher website-streaming tier. Pro (Multisite) costs $499 per month; Enterprise (Multisite) is $669.

Social Only is $99 per month for Facebook and YouTube streaming. Overflow costs $129, and LAN + Cloud Failover costs $379. On-demand plans range from $49 to $199 per month. These are separate offerings, not a single ladder where each higher price automatically adds every previous feature.

The pricing page lists monthly prices and annual billing totals; annual per-month equivalents match the monthly prices. Website bandwidth is capped at 200 GB on Starter Lite and 1 TB on Pro; Enterprise Live Streaming lists up to 5 TB. Studio AI, RTMP destinations, and other add-ons have no published prices, so confirm total cost before switching.

05Switching to (or from) Resi

Treat a move to Resi as a streaming workflow change, not just a player swap. First map where you broadcast: website and app streaming, social destinations, local venues, or on-demand libraries use different Resi plans and limits. Check your monthly bandwidth, storage, video quality, and destination count against the plan before moving scheduled events or replacing an existing service.

The published material does not specify migration tools, supported import formats, bulk export options, or how to transfer an existing video library. Resi’s on-demand plans list cloud storage, Media Sites, and API calls, but those details do not establish what you can export if you leave. Confirm ownership and export procedures with Resi before uploading an archive or rebuilding your library. Add-on prices are also not published.

We don’t have Reddit posts or comments in the published material for this review, so we can’t substantiate claims about why customers leave. The practical switching risk to resolve is portability: get written answers about moving videos, embeds, and scheduled workflows both into and out of Resi.
