Additionally, the reach into the hardware market, like the addition of the BoxCast Spark encoder, has made high-quality streaming with the service easier than ever before. > > **Cons**: BoxCast's multi-campus addition, while easy, does not offer many advanced features that are often needed for successful multi-site productions. Things like integrations with other software, like ProPresenter, the lack of proper decoder hardware, etc have shown the markets that BoxCast may not be for. However, for general streaming without multi-site, BoxCast remains steady and of high-quality. > > Overall, BoxCast has done an amazing job supporting me and my organization with out livestreaming needs. It has integrated well with its easy addition of RTMP and M3U8 links and has created amazing online experiences of our services and productions. Additionally, BoxCast's customer service is quick and truly takes account of the customer's needs. ----- ### "Great product, but costly" — 4.0/5 > **Devin** | *5 August 2024* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very good streaming service. And the technical help was amazing. > > **Cons**: The cost of the service is very high, and the percentage that they take for doing a paywall is very high as well. > > Very good except the cost. They should lower the cost. ----- ### "Boxcast Was Our Live Streaming Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *30 April 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Boxcast was easy to set up, offers reliable streaming, and has retains high quality during the stream. It integrates well with all of our streaming platforms. > > **Cons**: It's a little pricey, and requires scheduling events in advance. ----- ### "BoxCast is a no-brainer for churches\!" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *2 March 2020* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I absolutely love the fact that I can schedule our live streams and they run themselves. We no longer have to go and manually start and stop a livestream and make sure that it posts, Boxcast just works and it saves me so much time weekly > > **Cons**: I wish the add-on apps like for FireTV and AppleTV were a little cheaper. At $1,000/each its a hard add-on just because we're not sure how much people would take advantage of them. It seems like since its an app they've already built that it would be cheaper to change the stream ID in the app and the logo. > > We have loved the switch to BoxCast, it is a little more expensive for us, but offers a lot more features and we don't regret our decision to use them. ----- ### "Great easy to use Live Streaming Software" — 5.0/5 > **Dale** | *7 September 2021* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's basically a plug and play platform. Really smooths out our video stream and took care of any buffering issues we were having. > > **Cons**: The one thing I think could be improved is there countdown timer to when live steam starts only goes until it reaches 1 min and then it does not count down the seconds so your not quite sure when it is going to start. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/481665/BoxCast?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/481665/BoxCast) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
