€0.10 / rendition
Your transcoding bill, itemized
Bring your own storage — this is just the encode line.
Build your ladder, plug in your source minutes. Each rendition bills per output minute — exactly how the API meters it — using the quality, framerate, and add-on knobs from Step 1.
Renditions in your ladder
Multi-codec strategies encode the whole ladder in each codec.
A small per-job minimum charge (a few cents, covering the encoding VM) can apply to very short clips — above a few minutes of output the per-minute rate is already higher. These figures are monthly aggregates, so the minimum doesn't factor in.
Want storage and delivery handled too? That's Step 3.
