Livepeer Studio provides video processing at a 5-10x cost saving compared to traditional video development platforms. Learn more about how it compares to other video infrastructure providers.
In the hundreds of hackathon projects that were built using Livepeer Studio, none have ever exceeded the alloted free minutes provided in the Hacker plan. If this is a concern, email Livepeer Inc at help@livepeer.org or reach out on Discord.
A credit card is not required to create an account.
If you exceed the allotted minutes for storage, transcode, or delivery usage on a Hacker account, you will be responsible for paying the overage according to our pay-as-you go unit pricing. At the end of the billing cycle when you exceed the Hacker plan limits, you will receive an email indicating that you must enter payment information within 3 days. If your invoice is not paid and we have not heard from you by the end of that period, your account will be suspended and you can reach out to support@livepeer.org to start the reactivation process.
USD is the only currency accepted right now via the Livepeer Studio dashboard. Crypto-native payments are coming later this year. If you prefer to pay with cryptocurrency now, you may reach out at help@livepeer.org
For transcode and storage, Livepeer Studio uses the duration of the source asset, and for delivery, we estimate the minutes viewed based on the average bitrate and the total amount of data used.
If you have further questions about these calculations or feel that they do not accurately reflect the characteristics of your project's usage, you may reach out at help@livepeer.org
