Resi

What Resi does

Resi (operating as Resi Media LLC) is a private, US-based provider of reliable live-streaming infrastructure serving organizations where broadcast continuity is mission-critical — predominantly large multi-campus churches, educational institutions, government agencies, athletic programs, live-event producers, and entertainment venues. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Allen, Texas, Resi operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pushpay, a church technology company, and employs 51–100 staff.

The company's technical foundation is the patented Resilient Streaming Protocol (RSP), which maintains up to 10 minutes of local buffering and verifies every frame at the cloud before display — delivering error-free streaming through complete internet outages, in contrast to standard protocols (RTMP at 0 seconds, SRT at 8 seconds). Resi sells purpose-built hardware encoders (Mini at $799.99–$1,199.99; server-grade E1200, E2211, E4310 at $3,749.99–$8,499.99) and decoders (D2211, D2212 at $4,499.99+), complemented by the Resi Studio cloud platform, ProPresenter Stream software plugin, Resi On Demand library, Media Sites branded destinations, and Studio AI for clip/transcript automation. The platform integrates natively with YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Twitch, Vimeo, LinkedIn, major LMS platforms (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, LearnDash), and Pushpay giving.

Resi's business model combines one-time hardware revenue with recurring SaaS subscriptions (Starter Lite, Pro, Enterprise tiers), premium add-ons (Enterprise 4K Live Web Plan from $569/month annual; RTMP Destinations at $10/month per concurrent stream), and AI/feature modules. Go-to-market is sales-led via 'Talk to Sales' and demo-request funnels supplemented by direct e-commerce at buy.resi.io and a reseller channel. Resi reports being trusted by 80 of the top 100 US churches and thousands of organizations across its target verticals, with named enterprise customers including Life.Church, Elevation Church, Church of the Highlands, Vanderbilt University, Grand Canyon University, Chick-fil-A, State of Indiana, City of Corpus Christi, and Savannah Bananas.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Renewed Vision (ProPresenter)coreTechnology or IntegrationRenewed Vision's ProPresenter is the dominant church presentation software. Resi's ProPresenter Stream plugin embeds Resi's patented RSP technology into the ProPresenter workflow, turning the existing production machine into a broadcast-grade encoder. This integration makes Resi's technology accessible to ProPresenter's massive installed base without requiring a separate hardware purchase. The integration is marketed as the 'lowest-barrier entry point into Resi's platform.'
• PushpaycoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerResi Media LLC is a subsidiary of Pushpay, a church technology company. Pushpay provides the financial giving and engagement platform integrated with Resi's streaming ecosystem. The QRclick feature is designed to work seamlessly with Pushpay giving campaigns. Resi's footer states 'A Pushpay Company.' The headquarters and support infrastructure benefit from the Pushpay relationship, and Resi's support platform (support.pushpay.com/s/resi) runs on Pushpay's infrastructure.

Direct peers

• BoxCast: BoxCast is the most direct competitor to Resi, offering live streaming hardware and SaaS specifically targeted at churches, schools, sports, and government — the same verticals Resi serves. BoxCast's own 'BoxCast Flow' protocol is positioned as a direct competitor to Resi's RSP for resilient, store-and-forward streaming.
• Subsplash: Subsplash is a church engagement platform that includes live streaming, on-demand video, giving, and mobile app infrastructure for churches. Resi supports Subsplash as an RTMP destination, but Subsplash also competes with Resi directly for the all-in-one church streaming + engagement stack.
• StreamingChurch.tv: StreamingChurch.tv is a live streaming service built specifically for churches with affordable monthly plans. It competes with Resi in the small-to-mid church segment where Resi's hardware-heavy stack and premium pricing is overkill.
• ChurchStreaming: ChurchStreaming is a budget-oriented live streaming and video hosting platform aimed at churches of all sizes. It competes with Resi on price-sensitive church customers who don't need RSP-grade reliability or multi-destination workflows.
• Wowza: Wowza is a streaming infrastructure software company whose products (Wowza Streaming Engine, Wowza Video) power custom low-latency and reliable live workflows. Wowza targets developers and OEMs in similar territory to Resi's RSP transport layer and competes in the same multisite / event production use cases.
• Haivision: Haivision develops low-latency video transport technology, including the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, which is the closest open-standard analog to Resi's RSP. Haivision competes in the same mission-critical live broadcast and multisite verticals with its own encoders, decoders, and cloud services.
• Dacast: Dacast is a live streaming SaaS platform offering low-latency streaming, video hosting, and monetization APIs. Dacast competes with Resi's software-only entry point (ProPresenter Stream) on mid-market live streaming buyers who want cloud-based workflows without dedicated hardware.

Broad incumbents

• Vimeo: Vimeo Enterprise (including the acquired Livestream) is a broad video platform offering live streaming, video hosting, OTT apps, and AI tools. Vimeo competes with Resi across all of Resi's verticals but as part of a much larger portfolio; Resi is Resi-RTMP-compatible and customers multi-destination to Vimeo alongside Resi.
• Brightcove: Brightcove is an enterprise video platform with live streaming, VOD, and monetization used by large media companies, enterprises, and event organizers. Brightcove competes with Resi in the higher-end enterprise / live event vertical as a broader incumbent with a wider product portfolio.

Emerging players

• StreamYard: StreamYard is a browser-based live streaming studio that lets creators multi-stream to YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other destinations. It competes with Resi for budget-conscious creators, smaller churches, and event organizers who prioritize ease of use and low cost over RSP-grade reliability.
