Side by side

Same job.
Different kit.

How Super Simple IRL lines up against TVU Go, PRISM Live, BELABOX and Moblin, with nothing rounded in our favour.

Their columns come from their own public pages, checked July 2026.

The short version

Three things
only we do.

Everyone here can push video off a phone. These are the parts of the day that usually cost you a backpack, a spare PC or a dropped stream.

Cloud production, included

Your overlays, scenes and platform output all run in our cloud, on the £50. No OBS machine at home, no relay to rent, nothing to keep running while you are out.

Ten minutes of cover

Lose signal completely and we hold your channel open for up to ten minutes, showing your own screen to viewers. Walk back into coverage and the stream picks up where it was.

Scenes you edit while live

Lay out widgets, overlays and alerts in any browser, move things around, and the change lands on the running stream. No stopping, no reconnecting, no one at home to phone.

The table

All of it,
in one place.

Where a rival does something we do not, it says so. Where they do not publish an answer, the cell is left open rather than guessed at.

  1. (1) BELABOX prices are for the BELABOX BEE, their ready-to-use encoder. The software itself is free and open source if you would rather build your own box, and the cloud relay is theirs at $10 a month once the six months included with a BEE run out.

Checked July 2026 against the TVU Go getting-started guide, the PRISM Live mobile guide, the BELABOX shop and docs, and the Moblin project pages. Prices are theirs as published, before tax and before any yearly discount. Think we have got a cell wrong? Tell us in Discord and we will fix it.

Before you go live

The other
difference.

A table of features assumes you got as far as switching it on. Most IRL kit asks for an evening of setup first. Ours asks for a login.

The settings are already right

Resolution, frame rate, codec and bitrate come tuned for streaming on the move. Nothing to read up on, nothing to get wrong on the pavement.

No addresses to type

No SRT URL, no RTMP server and key, no relay to point at, no ingest to choose. Your destination is already wired up to your account.

It picks the links itself

Every connection you have is found, bonded and rebalanced live. There is no list of interfaces to tick and no order to get right.

One button

Open the app, press go live, start talking. The full set of controls is one swipe from the edge of the screen for the day you want it, and ignorable until then.

Try it on
your route.

Same walk, same dead spots. That is the only test that counts.
