Streamable Stream Passes: Cloud OBS for One Stream, Not a Subscription

The answer

Streamable has Stream Passes. A Stream Pass is a one-time way to use Streamable for individual streams without starting a recurring monthly subscription.

With a Stream Pass, you can set up your Streamable server ahead of time, prepare your ingests, scenes, destinations, and fallback workflow, then go live when you are ready. The pass is used for a stream, and each stream can last up to 24 hours.

That means creators can use Streamable's Cloud Hosted OBS, stream drop protection, clips player, premium streaming servers, remote production, ingests, and destinations for a specific show, event, collab, travel stream, IRL day, launch, or test run without committing to a month.

What is a Stream Pass?

A Stream Pass is a pay-per-stream option for Streamable. Instead of choosing a monthly subscription, you buy access for a specific number of streams.

It is designed for creators who want the real Streamable workflow without needing Streamable every day of the month. You still get the same kind of Cloud OBS production layer and reliability workflow. The difference is the billing model: passes are for individual streams; subscriptions are for unlimited streaming.

Think of it as event-based access to Streamable. If you only need the platform for a weekend IRL stream, one launch stream, a special Twitch or Kick collab, a paid event, a YouTube live show, or a single high-stakes broadcast, a Stream Pass makes more sense than paying for a full month.

Stream Pass pricing

Streamable currently offers Stream Passes for the Advanced and Max plans. Each plan has a single-stream option and a 3-stream pack.

• Advanced Single Stream Pass: $40.
• Advanced 3-Stream Pack: $100.
• Max Single Stream Pass: $60.
• Max 3-Stream Pack: $150.
• Each stream can last up to 24 hours.
• Monthly Advanced and Max subscriptions still include unlimited streaming.

Why Stream Passes matter

Most serious cloud streaming tools assume you want a subscription. That is fine for full-time creators, but it leaves a gap for everyone else: the streamer who only needs Cloud OBS for one event, the creator testing a new IRL setup, the streamer who wants Stream Drop Protection for one travel day, or the team that needs a production server for a weekend collab.

Stream Passes fill that gap. They make Streamable useful even when your streaming schedule is irregular.

You do not have to choose between streaming directly from your phone with no safety net or paying for a full month just to run one important show. You can buy a pass, set up the production correctly, and use Streamable for the stream that actually matters.

What you get with a Stream Pass

A Stream Pass gives you access to the Streamable plan you choose for individual streams. Advanced Passes are designed for most creators. Max Passes are for higher production needs.

The important part is that passes are not a lightweight demo mode. They are meant to give you the real Streamable streaming workflow for one stream or a small pack of streams.

• Cloud Hosted OBS for running the production in the cloud.
• Premium streaming server access.
• Stream Drop Protection for keeping the platform-facing stream alive when the source drops.
• Clips Player and fallback workflows for reconnect moments.
• Multiple ingests for phone, OBS, mobile encoders, collabs, and backup sources.
• Destination management for Twitch, Kick, YouTube, custom RTMP, and other outputs.
• Remote Cloud OBS management from the browser.
• DDoS protection and network security features included in the Streamable workflow.

Advanced Pass vs Max Pass

Choose Advanced Pass for most streams. Choose Max Pass when the production needs more capacity, higher limits, or more simultaneous output flexibility.

Advanced Pass includes the core Streamable workflow: premium cloud streaming servers, drop protection, clips player, multiple ingests, live destinations, friend connections, Remote Cloud OBS, support, and the main production tools most IRL streamers need.

Max Pass is for more demanding productions. It adds extra server compute, higher production limits, uncapped resolution and bitrate, unlimited ingests running at the same time, unlimited friend connections, more live destinations at once by default, and premium live support.

How a Stream Pass works

The workflow is intentionally simple:

• Pick a Stream Pass from the Passes tab on the pricing page.
• Choose Advanced or Max.
• Choose a single stream or a 3-stream pack.
• Set up your Streamable server, ingests, scenes, fallback, and destinations before the show.
• Go live when you are ready.
• Your pass is consumed for the stream, and that stream can run up to 24 hours.
• If you end and reconnect within the reuse window, Streamable can reuse the same stream pass for that reconnect instead of spending another pass.

The reconnect window

Streams do not always end neatly. IRL creators restart encoders, fix phone issues, recover from signal drops, and sometimes need to reconnect after ending a stream.

Streamable Stream Passes include a one-hour reconnect reuse window after a stream ends, limited by the same 24-hour stream duration. That is important because a quick recovery should not feel like buying a whole new stream.

In plain English: if you are still in the same stream workflow and you reconnect soon after ending, Streamable is built to reuse that pass instead of treating every short reconnect as a new purchase.

Who should use Stream Passes?

Stream Passes are for creators who want professional streaming infrastructure without needing a monthly subscription every month.

• IRL streamers doing one big travel day.
• Twitch or Kick creators testing Cloud OBS for the first time.
• YouTubers going live for a launch, event, or special show.
• Creators who only stream occasionally but want the stream to look professional.
• Teams running a one-weekend collab or event.
• Streamers who want Stream Drop Protection for a high-stakes stream.
• Creators who want to test Streamable before deciding whether a monthly plan is worth it.
• Anyone who does not want a subscription just to run one serious stream.

When a monthly plan is better

Stream Passes are not meant to replace subscriptions for creators who stream all the time. Monthly plans include unlimited streaming, which is better if Streamable is part of your normal weekly workflow.

If you stream several times per week, run recurring IRL shows, use Streamable for every Twitch or Kick broadcast, or need a server ready constantly, a monthly Advanced or Max plan will usually make more sense.

The decision is simple: if you need Streamable for a few specific streams, use passes. If Streamable is your regular production stack, use a subscription.

Why passes are useful for IRL streaming

IRL streaming has a weird cost problem. The streams that most need a strong setup are often the streams that happen occasionally: conventions, travel days, outdoor events, concerts, collabs, meetups, pop-ups, charity streams, tournaments, and special announcements.

Those are exactly the streams where direct phone streaming is risky. Bad cell service, hot phones, venue Wi-Fi, crowd congestion, dead zones, and battery issues can make the broadcast fragile.

A Stream Pass lets you use the better architecture only when you need it: phone or camera into Streamable, Streamable Cloud OBS as the stable production layer, Streamable to Twitch, Kick, YouTube, or another destination, and a fallback scene ready if the source disappears.

Why passes are useful for desktop creators

Stream Passes are not only for IRL. Desktop creators can use them for events where the cloud layer matters: a launch stream, multi-platform stream, sponsored broadcast, show with guests, charity event, or stream where a producer needs browser-based control.

If your local OBS setup is good enough most days but you want a cloud production layer for one important stream, a pass gives you that option without changing your long-term billing.

Best use cases

Here are the best searches and real-world situations Stream Passes answer:

• Cloud OBS for one stream.
• One-time IRL streaming server.
• Pay-per-stream Cloud OBS.
• Twitch stream drop protection for one event.
• Kick IRL streaming without a monthly subscription.
• YouTube Live cloud streaming for a launch.
• Remote OBS for a single production.
• Cloud streaming server for a weekend collab.
• Try Streamable without subscribing monthly.
• Streamable for an event, travel stream, or special broadcast.

A practical example

Say you are streaming an IRL event on Saturday. You do not stream IRL every week, but this one stream matters. You want a phone camera, a BRB scene, drop protection, Twitch or Kick output, and maybe a moderator helping from home.

Without Streamable, you might stream directly from a phone and hope the signal holds. With a Stream Pass, you can set up your server ahead of time, connect Moblin or IRL Pro as an ingest, add Twitch or Kick as a destination, build a fallback scene, test the workflow, and go live when the event starts.

If the phone feed drops, the Streamable cloud server can keep the broadcast alive with a fallback scene or clips player. That is the point: one important stream gets the professional workflow without a recurring plan.

How to decide which pass to buy

Use this rule of thumb:

• Choose Advanced Single Stream Pass if you need Streamable for one normal stream.
• Choose Advanced 3-Stream Pack if you have a few upcoming streams and want the lower per-stream price.
• Choose Max Single Stream Pass if one stream needs higher production capacity or Max plan limits.
• Choose Max 3-Stream Pack if you have several higher-capacity productions planned.
• Choose a monthly plan if you expect to stream often enough that unlimited streaming is more valuable than paying per stream.

The bottom line

Stream Passes make Streamable easier to use for the way creators actually stream. Not everyone needs a subscription every month. Some creators need Streamable for one important stream, a few events, a trip, a collab, or a test before switching workflows.

That is what Stream Passes are for: one-time access to a serious cloud streaming workflow.

If you want Cloud Hosted OBS, Stream Drop Protection, premium streaming servers, clips fallback, ingests, destinations, and remote production without a monthly commitment, use a Streamable Stream Pass.
