What would your archive cost?
Twitch deletes past broadcasts after a few weeks. We keep them forever, on your own site. Enter your channel: we read the broadcasts Twitch still has and your real stream bitrate.

Re-encode overnight on your PC
Run our free runner on your PC. While you sleep it re-encodes each stream to a smaller file (same quality target, x264 CRF 23), and we keep that instead of Twitch's original. You pay no compute.
Streams with long still sections (starting soon, BRB, ASMR or music over art) shrink even more, because Twitch keeps a constant bitrate on a still screen and a re-encode does not.
