Fan Stream TV, part of the PT SportSuite group, offers a sports streaming platform with a revenue-share pricing model: no monthly fee in exchange for a percentage of ticket sales. PassCast offers a similar model on its Community tier, plus dedicated Channel and Enterprise tiers for organisations that want full white-label control. This comparison covers the key differences.

Similar starting point, different growth path
Both platforms offer a zero-monthly-fee model with revenue share, making them accessible for organisations that do not want to commit to a subscription before they know how streaming will work for them. The revenue share percentages are comparable at the entry tier.
The difference appears when an organisation grows. PassCast offers a clear, published upgrade path: move to the Channel tier for £250 per month with a significantly lower revenue share of 8 percent, plus full white-label branding and a custom domain. Your streaming presence looks and feels like your own platform, not a third-party service. Fan Stream TV does not publicly offer this kind of graduated pricing structure, so organisations who outgrow the entry tier do not have an obvious next step.
Branding and ownership
On Fan Stream TV, your events appear on the fanstreamtv.com domain under their branding. Viewers see Fan Stream TV first and your organisation second. On PassCast's Community tier, events appear on passcast.tv/community with a "Powered by PassCast" badge, but with your logo, colours, and cover image prominent. On the Channel tier, it is entirely your brand on your domain.
For organisations where brand identity matters, particularly county boards, provincial councils, and sponsors who want clean brand placement, the white-label option is a significant differentiator.
Payment flow
PassCast uses Stripe Connect, which means ticket revenue goes directly to your connected Stripe account. You see it in your bank account on Stripe's standard 2-7 day payout schedule. Fan Stream TV manages payments centrally and pays organisations out on a separate schedule. For volunteer-run organisations, the direct payment model is simpler to account for and faster to access.
