Flexible open-source radio streaming
Icecast is a popular open-source streaming platform and a good choice for stations that want a little more flexibility in how their streams are set up.
One Icecast server branching to multiple mount points.
Why choose Icecast?
Icecast works with a wide range of broadcast software and players, but one of its useful differences is support for multiple mount points. This can make it easier to run different streams or formats from the same service.
For a normal internet radio station it can be just as simple to use as SHOUTcast. If you need a more customised setup later, there is also plenty of room to do more with it.

| Plan | Listeners | Bitrate | Monthly price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 50 | 128kbps | £5.99 | |
| Standard | 100 | 192kbps | £8.99 | |
| Pro | 250 | 192kbps | £14.99 | |
| Ultra | 500 | 320kbps | £24.99 |
Other configurations
64kbps is available where conserving data is more important than maximum audio quality. 128kbps is a solid choice for general internet radio, while 192kbps gives music stations a little more headroom.
- 320kbps is available for stations that want a high bitrate stream.
- Listener capacity can also be adjusted independently, so a high audience limit does not mean you have to use the highest bitrate.
