The 24/7 services, side by side.
Six products keep a Twitch channel live around the clock. They differ on where the VODs come from, what the chat can do, and what the bill looks like.
playout.video is a general 24/7 streaming platform with a free tier, a browser studio and a drag-and-drop calendar, but it cannot import from Twitch. VODPilot is the closest product: a 24/7 Twitch channel from your VODs at 100 € a month plus 16 € per TB of storage, with a read-only chatbot. Stream247 is a managed service at 149 £ a month that fetches your VODs from YouTube. Restreamer 24/7 is a premium service from 392 $ a month. None of them lets the chat vote on the next VOD, and none of them gives the channel a public site.

Who each one is for.
Honest one-liners. Some of these are the right choice for some people.
Free to 119 $ a month
Churches, radios, schools, brands: anything that needs a calendar, a browser studio and twenty destinations.
No Twitch import, no VOD archive, no vote. The Twitch streamer is one of twelve verticals.
100 € a month + 16 € per TB
The closest product: Twitch ingestion, scheduler, VOD review, DMCA flags, a read-only chatbot. Named customer channels you can check.
No vote, no public site, storage metered per TB. A large archive makes the bill unpredictable.
149 £ a month + 99 £ setup
Fully managed, 1440p60, a human sets it up in 24 hours. Sells the raid loop well.
VODs come from YouTube: you must mirror every stream there. No vote, no site, no self-service.
392 to 1 512 $ a month
Premium, several platforms, no re-encoding, dedicated machine on the top tier. The best-written page in the market.
You upload the files yourself. 60 to 500 hours of library. No vote, no site, and a price for studios.
If you came from playout.video.
The most searched alternative. What changes, in both directions.
playout.video gives you a calendar, a studio with guests, an overlay editor and twenty destinations. If you need any of those, keep it: VOD247 has none of them, on purpose.
What it cannot do is read your Twitch archive, keep it past Twitch's 14-day window, or let the chat choose. VOD247 does exactly those three things, for one platform, with a public site per channel.
Where they are better.
A comparison that hides this is not worth reading.
Calendar
playout.video and VODPilot have drag-and-drop schedules with recurrence. VOD247 has a queue and a vote, not a calendar.
Platforms
playout.video pushes to 20+ platforms, Restreamer to five, Stream247 to Twitch and YouTube. VOD247 pushes to Twitch.
Overlays
Several of them burn overlays into the video. VOD247 replays the file untouched and puts the poll in chat and on the site.
Managed setup
Stream247 and Restreamer have a human on the other end. VOD247 is self-service with email support.
Questions.
Is there a free plan?
Not a permanent one. During early access every channel is free until billing opens. playout.video has a permanent free tier with a watermark and a 5-hour library.
Can I move from VODPilot or Stream247?
Yes. Connect the same 24/7 Twitch account to VOD247, declare your main channel as the source, and the archive starts filling from what Twitch still has online.
Why one comparison page and not one per competitor?
Because five near-identical pages would say the same thing five times. Everything about each product is here, in one table.
