YesStreaming is a UK-registered Shoutcast and Icecast reseller with a multi-panel approach: pick YesPanel, SoloRadio Panel, Centova Cast, MediaCP, or AzuraCast to manage your stream. CloudRadio is a single platform with a built-in studio, HLS streaming, and flat pricing. Here is when each fits.
YesStreaming sells Shoutcast and Icecast plans by panel, bitrate, and listener limit, from $4/mo. Unlimited-listener plans start at $7.99/mo. CloudRadio One is a flat $39/mo with no listener cap, HLS, and 750 GB of storage.

YesStreaming's product line is Shoutcast and Icecast. They mention HTML5 players over HTTPS but don't market a native adaptive HLS ladder. CloudRadio runs a 3-tier HLS ladder on every plan, which is the right fit for mobile listeners on variable connections.
YesStreaming targets broadcasters who already have a panel preference. CentovaCast and AzuraCast are popular with long-time Shoutcast operators, so YesStreaming offers them all. CloudRadio takes the opposite approach: one first-party studio that handles encoding, scheduling, AutoDJ, monitoring, and the player in one place.
Yes, on price alone. YesStreaming plans start at $4/mo, and unlimited listeners start at $7.99/mo at 192 kbps, well below CloudRadio One at $39/mo. What the $39 adds is an HLS ladder up to 256 kbps for mobile listeners, 750 GB of storage, free monitoring from 4 locations, and one platform where AutoDJ, scheduling, the player, and statistics are already set up.
Our Classic Shoutcast/Icecast hosting starts at $5/mo for 25 listeners when you already have playout software and only need a stream URL. If you want more than a stream URL, CloudRadio One at $39/mo adds an AutoDJ fallback that fires automatically when your encoder disconnects (so the stream never goes silent), unlimited concurrent listeners, silence alerts, and HLS output, without changing your workflow. Your encoder stays the primary source; AutoDJ only kicks in when you go offline.
Flat $39/month with HLS, unlimited listeners, 750 GB storage, and a single platform instead of a panel buffet.
