On Air

Free vs Pro

What you get on GoLive across the mobile app and the desktop encoder — and exactly where Pro earns its keep.

◆

One Pro subscription. Both studios. Your Pro station account unlocks every Pro feature in the app and Custom Server in the encoder — a single purchase, both surfaces. Free gets you on air for real; Pro is going professional.

Why the encoder’s free tier stays wide open: it lives in the transmission room with nobody watching a screen — so ads and session limits make no sense here. The single, well-placed paywall is Custom Server: it’s wanted by broadcasters who already own their server and bring their own audience, so it’s the fair thing to charge for.

Free — get on air

Register and you’re broadcasting today, on phone and desktop, to real listeners on your live.radioworld.fm page. Not a trial — a real, usable tier.

No ads, no limits, your own server, deeper tools, and the gold badge. One subscription lifts both the app and the encoder at once.
