On August 29, 2024, we introduced three new subscription plans: Core, Advanced, and Teams. Each new plan comes with its own unique perks, including brand-new features. These plans have replaced our legacy, non-business subscription offerings: Essential, Starter, Basic, Professional, Premium, and Growth.
You can read the entire announcement on the StreamYard blog.
Here’s how this change will affect your StreamYard experience:
Starting August 29, 2024, all StreamYard non-business customers transitioned to the new plans. In each case, customers have been moved to the plan that gives them equal or greater features:
- Customers on Essential, Starter, and Basic plans transitioned to Core
- Customers on the Professional plan transitioned to Advanced
- Customers on the Premium or Growth plan transitioned to Teams
- Free users remained on the Free plan
- Business customers remained on their custom Business plans
New features and functionalities
With the new paid plans, we introduced several new features designed to elevate your StreamYard experience. Our Core and Advanced plans also include existing features that were formerly only available in higher-cost plans.
You can see the full plan comparison on our Pricing page. To access it, simply sign in to your existing StreamYard account or create a new one at StreamYard.com.
Business customers have access to all new features, including Reusable studios, 4K local recordings, 1080p screen-sharing, Camera shapes, and Dark mode.
- Our Core, Advanced, and Teams plans are designed for individual creators and small teams using personal email addresses.
- If you're signing up with a business or company email domain (e.g., name@yourcompany.com), you'll need to subscribe to our Business Plan, which is tailored for professional use and includes advanced admin and security features 👉🏻 Contact us for more information on the Business/Enterprise plans.
Price increase
Following the repackaging, our prices have increased for most users. Users can check the prices on our Pricing page or, if they're already subscribed to a plan, within the Billing section of their account.

Accessing the new plan and features
- We have transitioned non-business customers on a rolling basis: everyone was moved to their new plan between August 29 and September 28, 2024. We sent an email confirming that the transition had taken place and sharing more details about your new plan.
- Once you switched to a new plan, you had access to all the included features immediately. Any associated pricing changes will only go into effect upon your next renewal date.
- Business customers remained on their current plan and got access to new features immediately.
- As always, you can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Account Settings.
Frequently asked questions
Why are you introducing new plans?
Not counting our Free plan, StreamYard previously offered six separate non-business subscription options, many of which had overlapping benefits. This made it difficult for customers to figure out which plan was best for their needs. By simplifying our offering to three distinct plans, we make it easier for new and existing customers to select the StreamYard experience that’s best for them.
Can I keep my legacy Essential/Starter/Basic/Professional/Premium/Growth plan?
No—with the introduction of our new plans, all legacy plans have been discontinued.
Where can I see the price of the new plans?
