An honest take
Which one is right for you?

- You want people to pay, sign or sign up without leaving the room.
- You host meetings, coaching sessions and webinars, not just broadcasts.
- You want engagement tools like a spin wheel and leaderboard built in.

“I love that I can drop clickable links during meetings where people can visit my site or make a purchase while we’re still talking.”
Questions
Switching from Restream.
Can R-Link multistream?
Yes. R-Link Business streams to YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and other platforms over RTMP at the same time. If reaching dozens of destinations is all you need, Restream is built for that.
What’s the difference between a product card and checkout?
A product card shows what you’re selling. In R-Link, guests in the room can also complete payment on screen with the Checkout element, so they never leave your event to buy.
