Video & Audio Pricing

Every video provider has to make a tradeoff between quality and costs. Stream gives you control over this choice by offering 3 plans.

If 7 users talk for 10 minutes, the total number of participant minutes is 7 * 10 = 70

You can build any type of calling, live-streaming or audio room experience. You have full control over the user experience. Stream offers both low level API access (which is the most flexible) or ready made UI components. The UI components are less flexible but enable you to launch in days.

Stream runs servers around the world. This ensures the best call quality & reliability. It's a similar architecture to what apps like Zoom do. Stream is one of the few cloud infrastructure vendors to offer this.

Dynascale automatically changes the video resolution, codecs and framerate to optimize your call. This enables calls to scale to thousands of participants. It also makes Stream easy to integrate. Some of our customers integrate in days.

It all depends on how much UI you have to build. Some use cases can be built in days, others will take a few weeks to tailor the UI. We have easy to use quick starts and sample apps for video calling, livestreaming and audio rooms.

The quality is priced at the highest quality level the user is publishing or receiving. For instance if a user is publishing HD video, and watching full HD the pricing will apply at the full HD rate.

Support plans are shared across all of Stream's products. You can read more about the [available options here](/enterprise/).
