DAcast has been around 10 years, compared to our 13 years. Their business plan is called "Scale". Okay then. Looks like you get a lot for your $3300 up front annual charge. Maybe, but not really. Do you use 2TB streaming a month, for live streams? If you really do, instead of $280 per month (or $373 if you want month to month), ScaleEngine charges you exact usage. With us 2TB is $180. Do you really use 2TB of storage per month? If you do, it's very unlikely you will be using 2TB of streaming. In most cases we see, VOD usage is under 100Gb monthly. Don't overpay!
ScaleEngine always counts your exact usage and shows you what you used, and what you pay for. We don't convince you your events will be huge, or that your VOD will be watched by thousands of concurrent viewers. We know how streaming goes, and our plans are reasonable for this reason.
Let's talk about overages for a minute. We don't do that. Our rates are our rates. DAcast will either turn off your streams if you go over 2TB in your month, or if you buy "overage protection", they will charge you $0.25 per GB overage fees. We charge $0.09/GB, and offer bulk pricing if you are a heavy user, rather than charging you more! ScaleEngine is a much better choice for high volume events, whether you have steady or spiky live stream viewership.
