OhBubble and Space-Node sell the same kind of product. You rent a remote Windows machine with OBS Studio on it, open its desktop in a web browser, build your scenes, paste a stream key and leave it running around the clock. Neither one is a SaaS looper where you upload a video to a dashboard and hope the settings suit you.
Because the product is so similar, the choice comes down to details: what each plan costs, what hardware sits behind it, how long you wait for access, and what happens when something does not work out.
Everything below comes from the two providers' own websites, checked on 27 September 2026, plus OhBubble's public Trustpilot page. We are Space-Node, so this is a comparison written by one of the two sides. Open OhBubble's plan pages yourself before you buy, because prices and plans change.

Quick Answer
Space-Node fits if:
- You want to see the CPU, RAM, storage and GPU class of a plan before you pay
- You want 1080p at 60 FPS (Emerald) or 1440p at 60 FPS (Diamond) on a stock plan
- You want access within the hour: stock streaming plans are delivered in 2 to 60 minutes
- You want a server in the Netherlands (Hengelo) with a 1 Gbps uplink
OhBubble fits if:
- Your current OhBubble server already streams the way you want
- You only need a still image at 1080p, where their Platinum plan (1080p at 1 FPS, $19.99 a month) is the cheapest way to get 1080p output from either provider

OhBubble streaming plans
| Plan | Per month | Stream quality |
|---|---|---|
| Platinum | $19.99 | 1080p at 1 FPS |
| Sapphire | $39.99 | 720p at 30 FPS |
| Gold | $49.99 | 1080p at 30 FPS |
| Diamond | $69.99 | 1440p at 30 FPS |
Each OhBubble plan page lists Windows pre-installed, OBS Studio pre-configured, access from any web browser, high fidelity audio and a 99% server uptime guarantee. The plan pages do not list the CPU, RAM, storage or GPU.
Watch the plan names. They overlap but mean different things. OhBubble's Platinum is its entry plan and its Gold streams 1080p at 30 FPS. On Space-Node, Gold streams 720p at 30 FPS and Platinum streams 1080p at 30 FPS. Compare by resolution and frame rate, not by name.
The same target on both
| What you stream | Space-Node | OhBubble |
|---|---|---|
| Still image or slideshow | Stone, €9.99 (480p at 1 FPS) | Platinum, $19.99 (1080p at 1 FPS) |
| 720p at 30 FPS | Gold, €19.99 | Sapphire, $39.99 |
| 1080p at 30 FPS | Platinum, €29.99 | Gold, $49.99 |
| 1080p at 60 FPS | Emerald, €39.99 | No plan listed |
| 1440p at 30 FPS | Emerald, €39.99 | Diamond, $69.99 |
| 1440p at 60 FPS | Diamond, €49.99 | No plan listed |
Space-Node prices are in euros and OhBubble lists its prices in dollars, so convert at the current rate if you want to compare to the cent.
Hardware You Can See Before Buying
Space-Node lists the processor, RAM, storage and GPU class on each plan, as in the table above. That matters for 24/7 streams with animated backgrounds, browser sources or audio visualizers, because x264 encoding and OBS browser sources both use CPU time.
OhBubble's plan pages describe each plan by resolution and frame rate only. If your scene is heavier than a single looping video, ask OhBubble which CPU and how much RAM the plan has before you pay.
How Fast You Get Access
Space-Node stock streaming plans are delivered 2 to 60 minutes after payment. Custom dedicated builds can take 24 to 72 hours, and we tell you the ETA before you pay.
OhBubble's FAQ says: "It could take a couple of days to receive access to the server." It adds that most customers get access "within a couple of days and sometimes within a couple of hours", and that waiting times are longer when a plan is in high demand. The same FAQ explains that the deployment wait comes out of your paid period: "a few days are deducted from your running time while we process your order."
If your stream has a fixed launch date, this is the biggest practical difference between the two.
Access and Operating System
Both providers give you the server desktop in a web browser, so you do not need an RDP client. OhBubble's FAQ states that it does not provide RDP support and that its servers come with Windows Server 2016 or 2019. Space-Node streaming plans run Windows 11 Pro.
OBS Setup Help
Both offer it. OhBubble's Gold, Sapphire and Diamond plan pages say: "our team is here to handle the entire setup of your stream using OBS Studio if needed." Space-Node ships OBS Studio pre-installed, and support helps with scenes, bitrate and encoder settings when you ask.
Whichever provider helps you, they will see your server and possibly your stream key. Rotate the key once setup is finished. Our stream key security guide explains how.
Refunds and Trials
Neither provider offers a free trial.
Space-Node: there is no money-back guarantee. Refunds follow our terms of service.
OhBubble: its FAQ says "Refunds are only given to customers who we personally inform that we cannot provide a server." It also says a PayPal dispute voids access to the service. For a big event, OhBubble may give a few hours of access on request so you can check the server first.
Uptime and Recovery
OhBubble's plan pages state a 99% server uptime guarantee. Space-Node's streaming page states 99.9% uptime for its Netherlands data center.
Neither number protects you from an OBS crash or a broken playlist file, so plan for recovery. Space-Node plans do not include backups. For redundancy you can keep a Stone plan as a standby, or order your plan twice, and we place each instance on a separate physical server. For settings that help OBS recover by itself, see our OBS settings for 24/7 streaming.
What OhBubble Reviews Say
OhBubble's Trustpilot page shows 6 reviews and a TrustScore of 2.4 out of 5 on 27 September 2026. The reviews are mixed. Two 5-star reviews from 2021 and 2022 mention reliable servers and customer service that is "usually pretty fast". 1-star reviews from 2022 and 2025 mention slow replies, trouble cancelling, servers that "can barely handle any animations" and a wait of weeks for a server. Six reviews is a small sample, so read them as a list of questions to ask before you pay, not as a verdict.
Which Space-Node Plan Replaces Your OhBubble Plan
- OhBubble Sapphire (720p at 30 FPS): Gold
- OhBubble Gold (1080p at 30 FPS): Platinum
- OhBubble Diamond (1440p at 30 FPS): Emerald, or Diamond if you want 60 FPS
- OhBubble Platinum (1080p at 1 FPS): Stone if 480p is enough for a still image, Platinum if it has to be 1080p
Running a lofi or music channel? Gold covers 720p at 30 FPS and Platinum covers 1080p at 30 FPS. Our 24/7 lofi stream guide walks through the OBS scene.
Moving is mostly a matter of moving OBS. Export your scene collection in OBS (Scene Collection, then Export), copy your media files across, import the collection on the new server and point any media sources at the new file paths. Run a private test stream and switch your public stream key over last. The OhBubble alternative page has the full checklist.

FAQ
Does OhBubble come with OBS Studio?
Yes. Each OhBubble plan page lists OBS Studio pre-configured and Windows pre-installed, and you reach the desktop through a web browser.
How long does OhBubble take to set up a server?
Its FAQ says it could take a couple of days, sometimes a couple of hours, and longer for plans in high demand. Space-Node stock streaming plans are delivered in 2 to 60 minutes.
Which is cheaper for 1080p at 30 FPS?
Space-Node Platinum is €29.99 a month and OhBubble Gold is $49.99 a month. OhBubble's Platinum costs $19.99 but streams 1080p at 1 FPS, which only suits a still image.
Can I move my OBS scenes from OhBubble to Space-Node?
Yes. Export the scene collection from OBS, copy your media files over, import the collection on the new server and fix any file paths. Space-Node support can help with the settings.
Bottom Line
If you want the hardware listed up front, access within the hour and 60 FPS on a stock plan, Space-Node's streaming plans are the closer fit. If your OhBubble server already runs the stream you want, or a 1080p still image at 1 FPS is all you need, staying put is a reasonable choice. For plan matching and the switch itself, see the OhBubble alternative.
