What they are

StreamYard

StreamYard is a browser-based studio for live streaming and recording to platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitch simultaneously. Creators, marketers, and podcast hosts use it to bring on remote guests, display branded overlays, and go live without installing software. The free tier watermarks your stream, and the paid plans unlock multi-destination streaming and higher video quality.

Transistor

Transistor is a podcast hosting platform that distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories from a single dashboard. It suits independent creators, agencies, and companies running more than one show, since all plans include unlimited podcasts. The analytics are clean and honest, though they stop short of the granular listener-behavior data that some larger platforms offer.
