Where Studio wins: Mac users, teams without a broadcast engineer, churches and small productions, anyone streaming to many platforms on a limited upload, and anyone who wants one upload that Stream24 multistreams.
Where OBS or vMix fit a different show: more than 16 inputs, or a workflow Studio does not include. OBS also runs fully offline with no account.
