Core cost for 40 h a week at 4 Mbps to 5 destinations

Cheapest plan: Starter, $468.75 a month for 1,565.36 GB of data a month.

Inputs

  • 40 streaming hours a week over the fleet
  • bitrate 4 Mbps
  • 1 encoder
  • 5 destinations per stream
  • billed monthly

Workings

  • Stream hours a month: hours a week × 4.35 weeks = 173.93 h.
  • Data a month: Mbps × 0.45 GB × hours × destinations = 1,565.36 GB.
  • Servers: CEIL(encoders ÷ encoders per server) = 1.
  • Starter, over 12 months: plan base 100 × 12 = 1,200; data overage 1,465.36 GB a month over, 17,584.29 GB a year: MIN(59 buckets of 300 GB × 75, 17,584.29 GB × 0.5 pay as you go) = 4,425 a year; 12 months = 4,425; server overage 0 × 100 × 12 = 0; $468.75 a month.
  • Premium, over 12 months: plan base 200 × 12 = 2,400; data overage 1,165.36 GB a month over, 13,984.29 GB a year: MIN(47 buckets of 300 GB × 75, 13,984.29 GB × 0.5 pay as you go) = 3,525 a year; 12 months = 3,525; server overage 0 × 100 × 12 = 0; $493.75 a month.
  • Ultimate, over 12 months: plan base 500 × 12 = 6,000; data overage 565.36 GB a month over, 6,784.29 GB a year: MIN(23 buckets of 300 GB × 75, 6,784.29 GB × 0.5 pay as you go) = 1,725 a year; 12 months = 1,725; server overage 0 × 100 × 12 = 0; $643.75 a month.

  • From Teradek product data, seen 2026-10-20: Starter data included 100 GB a month; Starter servers included 1; Starter encoders at most 5; Premium data included 400 GB a month; Premium servers included 1; Premium encoders at most 5; Ultimate data included 1,000 GB a month; Ultimate servers included 2; Ultimate encoders at most 10; standard server maximum 10 Mbps; published maximum bitrate 25 Mbps.
  • From the owner's statement of 2026-10-23: data bucket size 300 GB; data bucket price $75; data bucket validity 12 months.
  • Calculated (encoders ÷ servers in each plan's included units): encoders per server 5.

Open

  • No plan states an encoder minimum, so every plan is offered from 1 encoder up to its stated maximum.
  • Above the largest plan's encoder maximum the result is a custom plan, quote only.

Assumptions

  • Hours a week are streaming hours summed over all encoders.
  • Data is counted once per destination.
  • Amounts are in USD, excluding tax; nothing is converted.
