| The verdict | A streaming and live production tool with call-in style remote guest support, more geared toward gaming and general livestreaming than podcasting specifically. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Video podcasters who also stream on Twitch or YouTube and want scene switching plus remote guests in one app. |
| Not the best fit | Podcasters who just need audio recording, this is built for live video streaming workflows. |
| The gotcha | The free version puts a watermark on your stream and limits scene features, which most shows will want to remove. |
