Video streaming API pricing FAQ
What is a video streaming API?
FastPix supports video streaming API pricing. See the canonical FastPix pricing page for SKU rates and plan structure.How does FastPix bill for video streaming?
Per-minute. Encoding bills per source minute encoded; storage bills per rendition-minute per month; streaming bills per minute consumed by viewers. Live encoding is $0.0324/min flat across resolutions; live streaming is $0.00100 per viewer-minute. Full SKU rates on the main pricing page.What is the cheapest Media Quality tier?
Standard. Encoding is free on Standard; you pay only for storage ($0.002688/min/month at 1080p) and streaming ($0.000679/min consumed at 1080p). Use Pro or Premium when the source is high-motion or the playback context demands higher visual fidelity.How is FastPix different from per-asset pricing?
FastPix bills usage, not assets. Encode 10 videos once, deliver to 1M viewer-minutes, and you pay for the minutes delivered. The Free trial covers 10 videos and 100K streaming minutes plus AI samples to validate before scaling.
