TheLoops vs Loop Stream
Loop Stream (loopstream.pro) and TheLoops do the same job — your pre-recorded videos live 24/7 from the cloud, with a stream key and no computer left on — and the names are close enough to mix up. They are two different services. Here is where they actually differ, with both price lists as published on 3 November 2026.
- From $5/moTheLoops · One stream, several platforms
- From $6.99/moLoop Stream · One stream per platform

Pros & Cons
TheLoops
Pros- One stream reaches 3 platforms on Basic and up to 16 on a plan you build; Loop Stream sells one stream per platform
- Up to 4K·60, where Loop Stream stops at 1080p
- No storage cap, against 10 GB or 30 GB per stream
- Cheaper from the second platform or channel, and on yearly terms
- The free day starts without a review, counted from your first broadcast
- TikTok, Rumble, Telegram and any custom RTMP address besides the big four
- For one 1080p·60 stream to one platform on a monthly term, Basic ($15) costs more than Loop Stream's Smart ($11.99); our 1080p·30 shape is $10
- No stream scheduler and no Google Drive import yet

Our Verdict
Despite the names, these are two separate services. Both do the core job well enough to be worth trying: upload your videos, paste a stream key, and the stream runs from the cloud with your computer off.
Where they split is what a stream is. On Loop Stream one stream goes to one platform, so YouTube, Twitch and Kick at 1080p is three Smart plans, $35.97 a month. Here one broadcast fans out to all three on Basic for $15. Running several channels works the same way: four channels at 1080p are $47.96 there and $29.40 here. For one channel on one platform the gap closes, and at 1080p·60 on a monthly term Loop Stream's $11.99 is the cheaper of the two.
Loop Stream's prices are as published on loopstream.pro on 3 November 2026, in US dollars (it also sells in rupees); ours are from our own pricing page the same day. Both give you a free day, so run your own videos on each and decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. TheLoops (theloops.live) and Loop Stream (loopstream.pro) are separate services run by different companies. The names are close, but the accounts, prices and support are not shared: a Loop Stream login will not work here, and the reverse.
It depends on the shape. For one stream to one platform, TheLoops is $5 at 720p against Loop Stream's $6.99, and $10 at 1080p·30 against $11.99 — but at 1080p·60 our Basic plan is $15. As soon as you need a second platform or a second channel TheLoops is cheaper: YouTube, Twitch and Kick at 1080p is $15 on Basic against $35.97 for three Smart streams. On a yearly term 1080p·30 is $84 here and $119.99 there.
Not from one stream. Loop Stream's own FAQ says each active stream goes to one platform at a time, so each destination is another stream you pay for. TheLoops sends one broadcast to 3 platforms on Basic, 6 on Studio and 10 on Pro, and up to 16 on a plan you build.
Loop Stream streams at 720p on Simple and 1080p on Smart, and recommends uploading MP4 (H.264). TheLoops has ten tiers from 720p·24 to 4K·60 — 1080p·60 on Basic, 1440p·60 on Studio, 4K·60 on Pro — and encodes every upload to the tier you stream at, so the file does not have to be prepared first. For lofi or ambient loops 1080p is what most channels run either way.
Both last 24 hours and neither asks for a card. Loop Stream's trial gives you the Smart plan after you apply with your details and channel link; each application is reviewed by hand within 24 hours and can be refused. TheLoops starts the trial at once, and the 24 hours count from your first broadcast, not from sign-up. One free trial per person and per channel, with trial uploads up to 2 GB and 30 minutes per video.
