Is Xsplit worth it?

Well OBS has exactly the same functionality as Xsplit (except for plugins) and is better since it lets you stream 1080P 60fps and at any bitrate for free at the same quality (some argue that it gives better quality output). You also need to bear in mind that if your not partnered with twitch then they only lets you broadcast up to 3500 kbps (dunno why you'd stream at 3500 since not everyone can view at that kbps, 2500 is recommended) so even if you put it high on OBS its always going to stream at that. OBS allows you to go up input any bitrate so if your twitch partnered you can make the most of it compared to xsplit where you have to pay to unlock the option. Here is a reddit post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/1tnzsk/obs_vs_xsplit/

No problem man. I mean the paid version of Xsplit has some really good features for streamers the problem is the subscription plan. If it was a one time payment a lot more people would buy it for the extra features but what's the point paying for those features when people just want to stream the actual game. The features don't seem like much of an attraction to open my wallet for and is the reason why people stopped subscribing.
 
If it works as it should I don't think you should change it.. I love OBS and I think it's very complete, unless you see something in Xsplit that you think is missing in OBS..
 
No, not at all. I'm not sure, but I believe it will show ads in a corner on top of your gameplay.

And those ads pay Xsplit, not you.
 
I am personally user of Xsplit (paid one) and I think it is worth it. Not saying OBS is bad, but pros of xsplit are support (they helped me fix some nasty bug I had with OBS as well) and simpler/better UI (subjectively).

If you want to try Xsplit there are codes for it as low as $3 or less on the internet and you can compare it yourself, if its worth it or not :)
