Comparing Resi
The Resi alternative that
knows who watched.
Resi is very good at getting your service out of the building. The question this page answers is what happens next — because a stream that nobody can put a name to is still an anonymous crowd.

PealCast vs Resi, honestly
We are not going to pretend Resi is bad at what it does. Here is the honest split — where it is strong, and where a church that wants to follow people up will find it stops short.
| Resi | PealCast | |
|---|---|---|
| Streaming reliability | Its reputation is built on riding out bad venue internet, and it earns that reputation. | SRT ingest rides out network hiccups too, so a rough connection does not freeze your service. |
| Who watched | Viewer counts and stream health — you can see how many, not who. | Each viewer connects with a verified mobile number, so the count becomes a list of names. |
| Follow-up | Outside its scope — you export numbers and chase people manually. | The Shepherd’s Report every week: who’s new to welcome, who’s quietly drifted away. |
| Planning Center | Not a per-person sync. | Watch history written back to the member’s record, plus auto-created follow-up cards. |
| Go-live notifications | A separate tool or your website. | Built in — email, plus a text and a Church Center push through Planning Center, one tap to watch. |
| Cost shape | Priced around the encoder and the streaming plan. | From $49/mo, paying for the people who actually watch. Notifying your whole list is unlimited. |
