Frequently asked questions
A few questions we get about how Rend pricing works.
- How does pricing work?
- You pay $0.001 for each minute viewers watch and $0.003 for each minute of video stored for a month. Every resolution costs the same, and encoding is included.
- Are there egress or bandwidth surprises?
- No. Delivery is billed from viewer watch time at one clear per-minute rate, with no separate bandwidth or egress charge.
- Do you charge separately for encoding?
- No. Encoding is always included. Rend builds the renditions players need on every upload, and it never shows up as its own line on the bill.
- What happens when I delete a video?
- The storage meter stops. Storage is prorated precisely while you keep an asset, with no minimum, so removing a video stops its cost.
- How do I start?
- Start on pay as you go with no commitment or lock-in.
- Can I avoid usage fees altogether?
- Yes. Rend is open source and free to self-host. You only pay for Rend Cloud, the managed edge network that makes hosted playback fast.
