Past your plan: the wallet

  • Delivery: a free 20% on top of your allowance (150 GB on Starter), then $3.00/TB from your wallet.
  • Encoding past your included minutes: $0.04/min per standard minute, times the weight below.
  • Captions: $0.006/min, from your wallet.
  • Storage past the allowance on Scale and Enterprise: $0.03/GB-month, charged daily. On other plans uploads pause at the allowance; nothing is ever deleted for it.

Top-ups

  • $10 / $25 / $50 / $100, or any amount from $10.
  • Credit lasts 12 months from your most recent top-up; every top-up renews the whole balance.
  • An unused top-up can be refunded within 14 days. Spent credit cannot.
  • With the wallet empty, playback keeps going: delivery past your plan slows to 10% and new encodes wait for a top-up.

With a paid plan, buy any custom amount between $10 and $500 in Usage & billing.

Encoding, in standard minutes

Your plan’s encoding minutes are standard minutes: one minute of adaptive video up to 1080p. Other encodes weigh more or less, per minute of video: the resolution multiplier times the mode factor. Your plan’s minutes are used first; past them, each standard minute is $0.04 from your wallet. Every plan includes 2K and 4K, and every video is quoted before it encodes.

Largest streamAdaptive (×1)Single stream (×0.75)
Up to 1080p ×11 standard minute$0.04/min from the wallet0.75 standard minutes$0.03/min from the wallet

  • The resolution multiplier goes by the largest stream a video actually gets, measured on its short side, so a vertical 1080×1920 video counts as 1080p. A video is never charged for a size it does not get.
  • Billed per second, with a 60-second minimum per video, applied before the weight.
  • Switching a single stream to adaptive later costs the difference: 0.25 × the resolution multiplier per minute of video.
  • For example, 10 minutes of 4K adaptive is 10 × 3 = 30 standard minutes.
