SWARMCAST CDN
Unlimited viewers. Unlimited traffic. One flat price.
A live streaming CDN for people who hate bandwidth bills. Push your broadcast once — we deliver it to every viewer. Scale with your audience, not your invoice.
What is SWARMCAST CDN?
A hosted live streaming platform: send video from your encoder (OBS, vMix, hardware, etc.), we turn it into a watchable live channel, and your audience opens a simple player link in the browser. No CDN contracts, no per-GB metering, no surprise overage emails after a successful event.
Ingest that fits your setup
Connect with SRT, RTMP, or WHIP. Each channel gets its own private credentials.
A player you can share
Private watch URL and optional live chat. Viewers don't need an account.
Delivery that stays flat
Ten viewers or ten thousand — you still pay CHF 35 per channel per month.
Built for audiences that actually show up
Traditional streaming CDNs charge for every gigabyte delivered and often limit how many people can watch at once. We remove both levers from the invoice.
No traffic meter
No TB quotas, no per-GB overage meter.
No viewer cap
A packed premiere costs the same as a quiet rehearsal.
Per channel / month
One channel = ingest + player. Add as many as you need.
What others charge when you grow
Bandwidth caps and tier jumps are the real cost of "cheap" streaming. Here's how published plans stack up against our flat CHF 35 / channel / month.
| Castr | Vimeo | SWARMCAST CDN | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry live plan | ~$20/moLimited concurrent streams. | ~$125/moSerious live usually needs Enterprise. | CHF 35/moPer channel: ingest + player. |
| Bandwidth | Capped (~2.4 TB on Starter). Overage ~$0.10/GB on higher tiers. | ~2 TB/mo soft cap; high use → Enterprise quote. | No traffic meter |
| Viewers / concurrency | Plan tiers limit concurrent streams; scale means upgrading. | Enterprise for high-scale live & 24/7 channels. | No viewer cap |
| At 1 busy channel | Often Standard/Premium once traffic grows — $50–$200+/mo. | Enterprise commonly quoted from ~$6k+/year. | Still CHF 35 |
Competitor figures are approximate from public pricing (Castr ~$20–$750/mo with bandwidth allotments; Vimeo Advanced ~$125/mo billed monthly, Enterprise custom). Checked mid-2026. Your invoice may differ with annual billing, add-ons, or usage.
One live channel = your ingest pipeline and player. No per-GB fees, no viewer caps. Create as many channels as you need — each is its own subscription.

FAQ
What do I get for CHF 35?
One live channel: a private ingest pipeline (SRT, RTMP or WHIP) plus a shareable player — with unlimited traffic and unlimited viewers included.
Can I create more than one channel?
Yes. Create as many as you need. Each channel is its own CHF 35 / month subscription. Cancel anytime by deleting the channel.
Is there a bandwidth or viewer limit?
There is no per-GB meter and no viewer cap on the plan. Like any shared platform, extreme abuse may be limited — normal events and 24/7 channels are what it's built for.

SRT, RTMP, and WHIP — works with OBS, vMix, ffmpeg, and similar encoders.
