What each app is for
EveryCord is a screen recorder and live streaming app for iPhone or iPad from Symaro, LLC, on the App Store since February 2018. EveryCord 2.5 was released on October 21, 2026. You pick EveryCord in Apple's screen recording controls, confirm Start Broadcast, and your screen goes out live to YouTube, Twitch or any RTMP server.
Larix Broadcaster is a mobile encoder from Softvelum. It turns your phone camera into a live source for SRT, RTMP, RIST, RTSP, Zixi, WebRTC and NDI workflows, such as feeding a studio or a media server. It supports talkback, overlays, pause and stand-by modes and multi-camera picture-in-picture.

Where Larix Broadcaster may suit you better

- You feed a studio and want NDI HX2 output, talkback from the control room or SEI timestamps, which Softvelum lists as Premium features.
- You stream with the camera and want multi-camera picture-in-picture, image and web overlays, GPS data, or a pause and stand-by mode.
- You also use Android, where Larix Broadcaster runs on 7.0 or later.
Where EveryCord may suit you better

- You want to record, trim, add automatic English captions and a facecam to a saved video in the same app.
Price and limits in detail
Larix Broadcaster's App Store listing shows three in-app purchases: Larix Premium at $9.99, Larix Premium One Year at $119.00 and NDI Streaming at $19.99. Softvelum's Premium page describes the free mode this way: streaming is free for 30 minutes, then another 30 minutes with a mandatory overlay, then the stream is stopped.
Premium removes the watermark for SRT and RTMP and the time limit for every protocol, and adds HEVC, talkback and three or more connections. Softvelum says a subscription is tied to one Apple ID and cannot be shared between iOS and Android.
EveryCord has no paid tier. Sparks are optional in-app purchases viewers send in live chat to support streamers; streamers get half of what EveryCord receives from Apple. There is no watermark and no time limit on recordings or live streams.
How to go live from your iPhone with EveryCord
- Install EveryCord from the App Store. Recording and custom RTMP streaming need no EveryCord account.
- Add outputs: sign in to YouTube or Twitch, or paste an RTMP or RTMPS URL and stream key for Kick, Facebook Live, X or your own server. Up to three run at once.
- Open Apple's screen recording controls, pick EveryCord and confirm Start Broadcast.
- Play your game or open any app. Each output goes straight from your device at up to 720p and 30 fps, about 3 Mbps upload each.
- On iOS 18 or later, turn on Show my camera, or invite up to three co-hosts. If one output drops, the others keep running.
