Pricing

Video streaming preparation is billed once for your original video's duration and resolution. All automatic streaming quality levels are included, so preparing more HLS renditions does not multiply that charge.

The rates below are in USD. Your team's Billing page shows your actual rates, including any Custom agreement.

Streaming preparation

Rates are per input minute.

Input tier	Pay as you go	Team
SD	$0.0075	$0.0050
HD	$0.0300	$0.0200
2K	$0.0750	$0.0500
4K / UHD	$0.1500	$0.1000

Tiers use total pixel count: SD up to 720 × 576, HD up to 1920 × 1080, 2K up to 2560 × 1440, and 4K / UHD above that. Portrait videos use the same tiers; 720p is HD.

Preparing a 10-minute HD video costs $0.30 on Pay as you go or $0.20 on Team. The price includes automatic streaming generation, per-title optimization, and execution retries.

More views do not repeat the preparation charge. Your storage and CDN providers bill their own storage and playback delivery costs.

Static MP4 renditions

A static rendition is a separate MP4 file, such as a downloadable 720p version. Each file adds a charge based on its output resolution and frame rate, using the original video's duration.

These rates apply to both Pay as you go and Team. They include H.264 and per-title optimization at up to 30 fps.

Output tier	Per output minute
SD	$0.0060
HD	$0.0120
2K	$0.0225
4K / UHD	$0.0450

For outputs over 30 and up to 60 fps, multiply the listed rate by 2. Above 60 fps, multiply it by 3. Published video rates cover outputs up to 4K.

For example, adding 720p and 1080p MP4 files to a 10-minute video costs $0.24 on either plan: two files × 10 minutes × $0.0120. Both resolutions fall in the HD tier. Streaming preparation is charged separately.

You can request these files directly or through a Workflow. See Asset outputs to manage them.

For standalone video or audio exports, see Transcoding pricing.

Captions and thumbnails

These rates apply to both Pay as you go and Team.

Output	Rate
Caption transcription	$0.0060 per input minute
Caption translation	$0.0050 per input minute, per target language
Additional thumbnails	$0.0005 per published thumbnail

Caption transcription includes audio preparation and WebVTT output. Translating a 10-minute caption into three languages costs $0.15.

The default poster and timeline previews are included in streaming preparation. Additional thumbnail requests are charged separately.

Duration, credits, and payment

Durations round up to a whole second, with no minimum duration charge. Each processing charge rounds up to $0.0001. For example, 60.1 seconds of HD input on Team is billed as 61 seconds and costs $0.0204.

Pay as you go has no monthly fee. Team costs $50 per month and includes $50 in monthly dollar credit, shared across processing services. Monthly credit expires at the end of its billing period without rollover.

Processing uses available dollar credits before wallet funds. Failed video assets release their processing charge; outputs already published still count toward transfer usage.

See the pricing page for plan details, credits, and the cost calculator.

Output transfer and delivery

Chunkify's output transfer allowance is shared across all Projects in your team:

Plan	Included each month
Pay as you go	50 GiB
Team	100 GiB

Transfer to Cloudflare R2 or other S3-compatible storage beyond the allowance costs $0.09 per GiB. Transfers to AWS S3 and Chunkify temporary storage are free and do not consume the allowance.

The allowance resets on the first day of each month in UTC and does not roll over. Custom agreements can set different allowances and rates.

Transfer includes preparation previews and the streaming files, static renditions, posters, thumbnails, and captions Chunkify publishes. See Data transfer costs for details.

Your storage and CDN providers charge separately for storage, requests, and delivery to viewers. See Storage and delivery to configure them.

Hosted analytics

Hosted analytics includes 30 days of data retention on both Pay as you go and Team. Custom agreements may use a different period. Analytics retention is independent of media and Job data retention.
