Hybrik entered the market in 2016 with stepped pricing based on the number of cloud instances that can run simultaneously. You pay them for access to the software, and pay your own hardware costs.
On the live side, some services like Microsoft Azure and Zencoder are still charging by the output hour, a model that Wowza Streaming Cloud undercuts with a $500/month plan, including the costs of the cloud hardware. Or you can buy Wowza Streaming Engine for $1,995, or license it for as low as $65/month and pay your own hardware costs. Softvelum’s Nimble Streamer charges about $80/month for its Transcoder (including all other costs), and you pay hardware costs. These Wowza/Nimble Streamer alternatives are all much cheaper than paying by the hour.
Running on your own hardware should always be cheaper than encoding via a SaaS or PaaS cloud. As the prices for live and VOD cloud alternatives continue to drop, so should the cost of software that you run on your own hardware. Keep this in mind when negotiating pricing for any software you can use internally.
