On February 1, 2023, Gcore, a global cloud and edge solutions provider, revealed a new billing plan for its Streaming Platform. With the introduction of the simplified pricing plan starting at $0.001 every minute, startups and small businesses across a variety of industries, including online education, entertainment, e-commerce, fintech, events, and video gaming, can provide streaming services to end users with more predictable costs and exceptional performance.
Globally streaming online content requires overcoming several technical challenges, such as ensuring sufficient scalability to handle heavy traffic volumes, offering smooth streaming, and preserving the quality of video and audio streaming across all types of devices and connections. As a renowned provider of streaming infrastructure services and Content Delivery Network, the platform's customers benefit from the company's vast experience addressing these challenges.
The streamlined billing facilitates video streaming for as many as 100 million viewers, with Gcore's Streaming Platform handling all technical stages, such as uploading, recording, storing, delivering via CDN, and playing.
The solution enables low-latency streaming and live global broadcasting of both vertical and horizontal videos. The adaptive bitrate function allows viewers with unstable internet connections to view live streams. Prospective clients can try the Streaming Platform for free, and Gcore provides a user-friendly pricing calculator so they can compare the fees of competing services.
Head of Gcore's Streaming Platform, Alexey Petrovskih, shared, "The Gcore Streaming Platform offers free transcoding and a video streaming price as low as $0.001 per minute. This is possible thanks to several Gcore capabilities: first, we have our own infrastructure, including storage for video hosting and a CDN with over 150 points of presence; second, Gcore has its own transcoding technology, which means that, unlike competitors, we don't have to pay for third-party services."
