YesStreaming is a UK-registered Shoutcast and Icecast reseller with a multi-panel approach: pick CentovaCast, SoloRadioPanel, AzuraCast, or EverestPanel 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 per-bitrate, per-listener Shoutcast/Icecast slots from $12.99/mo, with most listener-cap tiers stopping at 1,000. Unlimited-listener plans start around $99/mo. CloudRadio One is a flat $39/mo with no listener cap.

Bottom line: YesStreaming is a great fit if you specifically want CentovaCast, AzuraCast, or another familiar Shoutcast panel running on someone else's hardware. CloudRadio is the better choice when you want HLS, big storage, no listener cap, and one platform instead of choosing a panel.

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.
Below 100 listeners at 64 kbps, YesStreaming's $12.99/mo entry plan is cheaper than CloudRadio One at $39/mo. Once you want 128 kbps with a thousand listeners, YesStreaming is around $32.99/mo, very close to CloudRadio One. Once you need unlimited listeners, YesStreaming jumps to $99+/mo while CloudRadio stays at $39.
Our $5/mo Classic Shoutcast/Icecast plan is the cheapest way to host a stream when you already have playout software. 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.
