In this section, we will discuss the pricing model of Muvi Live. Muvi Live is a PAYG software which means that you only pay for what you consume. In this blog, you will get to know the parameters on which we will bill you and we will also guide you through the steps to purchase more bandwidth and streaming hours and also ways to upgrade to our Enterprise version. Here we go!
Yes, you heard that right. Muvi Live is based on the iconic PAYG model which means you do not need to pay any upfront fees or monthly subscription charges to access Muvi Live. All you pay for depends on what you are consuming in terms of bandwidth and streaming hours. If you do not understand what we are talking about, here are a few important terms that are used while calculating your monthly bills based on your usage.
Your wallet is your virtual balance of bandwidth and streaming hours. Since Muvi Live is a PAYG service, you need to recharge your account, and the same gets reflected in your wallet instantly.
Muvi Live has various infrastructure components that are billed individually and then a consolidated bill is created. This helps you to pay only for what you use and not a penny more. The various components of the infrastructure are as follows.
Storage is the total space needed to store video/ audio files on the cloud for instant access. Bulk storage prices are as follows.
Bandwidth is a measurement of the volume of data that a network or server receives/ transmits over a given amount of time. For example, when you watch a one-hour video, it takes around 500 MB of bandwidth in SD and 2 GB in HD mode. Your live streaming audience can watch the stream and you are billed on the total bandwidth consumed. You can purchase bandwidth at the rates below.
Encoding is nothing but the conversion of a raw video file into digital-first that is compressed and compatible for distribution across different screen sizes and resolutions. This enables seamless access to content by the audience regardless of the device and environment used.
The current rate of encoding: is US$ .50/GB
The total hours or minutes the server is used to run your live stream is defined as streaming hours. The moment you start the stream, Muvi Live’s server starts encoding and processing data, and hence, the streaming hours are the time for which the server runs.
A content delivery network or CDN is a network of servers distributed across the globe designed to deliver content to users more efficiently and reliably across the globe. CDN ensures that live streams do not lag and reach the highest quality every time. Muvi Live uses AWS as its CDN service provider.
Multi-DRM solution provides license management features for multiple DRM formats such as Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay. DRM protects audio and video files against illegal screen-capturing access and downloads.
DRM services are sold separately at US$ 0.01/View.
Under the PAYG streaming, users simply purchase bandwidth and streaming hours from the store and it gets instantly reflected onto the wallet. These are then deducted as per the stream. If the users want to add additional features such as DRM or want to save the stream to the server to be used as on-demand content, they can do it by purchasing the minimum storage and views as per the prices. Hence, every penny that is being used is billed individually making sure that you do not pay for anything that you don’t use.
In short, there is a wallet that you can recharge for various components and it is consumed as per the requirement making it a completely prepaid service not requiring any subscription at all.
Pay-as-you-go model offers several benefits to beginners as well as professionals using the service.
