In 24/7 streaming automation, the difference is in the details
We compete with upstream.so and Gyre in the same market — but the features that change your day-to-day operations, like song recognition, a weekly scheduler, an AI chatbot and Turkish-language support, exist only on Ovicast. See the table and judge for yourself.

Six strengths you won’t find at the competition
The checkmarks are half the story — the real difference is how these features change your daily streaming operation.
Song recognition ecosystem
Shazam-based recognition listens to your stream: a played-songs archive, a Song Impact League showing which tracks win you viewers, and royalty reports. Unique in the category for radio and music channels.
Recurring weekly scheduling
Pick the day, time and timezone — even windows crossing midnight just work. Your program repeats every week on its own: set it once, forget it.
AI chatbot and automatic clips
A Groq-powered chatbot talks with your viewers while you are offline, and the best moments of your stream turn into highlight clips automatically.
A truly live control room
Layers update without stopping the broadcast: animations, RSS tickers, ready-made templates. Change your logo and lower-thirds while the stream is running.
Turkish UI, Turkish support, local payments
Every screen of the panel is available in Turkish; support requests get a Turkish reply within one business day. Payments are handled by iyzico, a licensed payment institution.
Monitoring depth
Freezes, black screens and silence are caught within seconds; outage logs, an alarm board and a public status page mean your stream is never unattended.
