Strevalo v1 is live — what's included and what's coming next

We have been building Strevalo for several months and today it is live. We want to be honest about what version one includes, what it does not include yet, and where we are going next. No hype, no overclaiming — just a straightforward account of where things stand.

What is in v1

Version one of Strevalo includes everything you need to stream a live event professionally, share it with your audience, and offer them a replay afterwards.

Specifically: RTMP streaming from OBS or any compatible encoder, password-protected event access, public and unlisted event modes, live chat on every watch page, automatic replay recording when the stream ends, a host dashboard for managing events and viewing basic metrics, and a clean watch page that works on any device without requiring an app download.

The platform is built on a modern stack — Next.js on the front end, a PostgreSQL database on Neon, Mux for video infrastructure, and Stripe for billing. It is hosted on infrastructure that can scale to handle large concurrent audiences.

What is not in v1 (and why)

There are features we chose to defer from v1 deliberately. Browser-based studio streaming — going live directly from your browser without OBS — is built but not polished enough for release. Advanced analytics beyond basic viewer counts are coming in the next phase. Embed and iframe support for third-party websites is on the active roadmap.

We made a deliberate decision not to ship anything we were not confident in. A streaming platform that drops streams or serves a broken watch page is worse than no platform at all. Version one is smaller than we originally planned, and more reliable for it.

Who v1 is built for

Version one is specifically designed for three audiences: churches and religious organisations who need private, reliable streaming for regular services; event organisers running conferences, seminars, and corporate broadcasts; and families wanting to stream private celebrations like weddings, funerals, and milestone birthdays to guests who cannot attend in person.

These three audiences have something in common: they care deeply about reliability and privacy, and much less about discovery and algorithm reach. They are not trying to build a YouTube channel. They are trying to reach a specific audience with a specific event in a controlled, professional way.

What comes next

Phase 2 of Strevalo development is focused on three areas. First, the browser studio — going live without OBS from any computer with a webcam. Second, advanced analytics including geographic viewer breakdown, peak concurrent viewers, and replay engagement rates. Third, embed support so organisations can host the Strevalo player directly on their own website.

We are also working on viewer registration improvements, multi-stream support, and better mobile optimisation for hosts. None of this has a firm date yet — we ship when it is ready, not when a deadline demands it.

A word on pricing

We set our pricing to be genuinely accessible. The Solo plan at €8/month is designed to be a no-hesitation decision for a small church or family. The Pro plan at €15/month is what most organisations will land on. The Business plan at €50/month is for larger organisations with multiple streamers and branding requirements.

We believe the value is there at every tier. If you try Strevalo and disagree, we want to hear from you — feedback from early users directly shapes what we build next.
