Sherman Schlar reviewed BoinxTV for Streaming Media magazine and compared it with existing Windows-based and hardware broadcast solutions:

"While video overlay programs exist for Windows PCs, most are fairly basic and can’t match the features found in BoinxTV. To accomplish the same thing in studio hardware, you’d need a live switcher, titler, and character generator, logo generator, and chromakey system. Did I mention the video overlay stopwatch and video graphics display engine? Ka-ching. BoinxTV installed on a Mac for less than $2,000 just might be the video bargain of the year."
