Our honest take
The live-streaming lane's money finally exists: 25% recurring for the life of the subscription, on the tool beginners actually choose. One Advanced annual referral ≈ $17/mo forever. Restream caps and obfuscates; StreamYard publishes — that contrast is a paragraph in any streaming-tools piece.
Who it's for

What you get
- Multistream studio that runs in a browser tab — no capture card, no OBS
- 25% recurring for as long as the referred subscriber stays
- Free tier starts the funnel for camera-shy beginners
StreamYard — questions
Is StreamYard legit?
StreamYard is a real product from StreamYard (Hopin) with its own checkout — check their current refund terms before buying. Legit ≠ worth it for you, though: weigh the cons above against where you actually are. Our score: 3/5.
Why does Make Money HQ link with affiliate links?
Because it keeps the directory free and independent. The commission comes out of the vendor's side, not your price. We'd rather be transparent and keep your trust — it's the only asset a directory has.
