Service usage
Prices are global (no dependency to the region)
One Service per packaging format (e.g. DASH, HLS) or DRM combination
Partial hour usage is rounded up
- Content Replacement specific
- The number of service hours is aggregated regardless of number of substitutions or events, and regardless of the number of categories (e.g. zip, DMA, …)
- Virtual Channel specific
- A service is charged as personalized for the month as soon as at least one slot is using at least one category (non-personalized = default = no category).
- Dynamic Ad Insertion specific
- CPM stands for 1000 ad insertions.
- In the PAYG plan, CPM is charged per insertion (at manifest level).
- Tracking can be done server side (SSAT) or client side (CSAT).
- There is no additional charge for using the Smartlib SDK (IAB OM certified) in CSAT mode.

Pricing FAQ
Content Replacement
A Content Replacement Service Hour is what you will be charged for if you create a Content Replacement service and let it run continuously for one hour. For example, if you let a linear service run on a permanent basis during one month, the average charge will be for 732 hours. The price is fixed regardless of the number of events.
A blackout event can be a blackout slot creation, update or deletion. It can also be an audience or policy creation, update or deletion.
Of course! The following example is showing how to calculate the monthly fee you will be charged:
| Content Replacement scenario example |
| 3 channels with 2 packaging formats (HLS & DASH) |
| 100.000 DAEU (Daily Active End Users) watching 1 hour of streaming content per day |
| Watch time ratio of 5% (your broadpeak.io Content Replacement vs any other content on your platform) |
| All video segments are originated from your origin and delivered by your CDN |
| Service Usage monthly fee |
| 3 channels x 2 packaging formats (HLS & DASH) = 6 Content Replacement Services |
| 6 Services x 24 hours/day x 30.5 days/month = 4392 hours/month |
| 4392 hours/month * 0,50 $/hour = 2196 $/month |
| Egress Usage monthly fee |
| Average manifest size: 8 KB (assumption) |
| Manifest polling & delivery frequency: every 6 s = 600/hour |
| Average manifest compression ratio: 3 (see link) |
| 100.000 DAEU x 1 hour x 5% x 30.5 days/month x 600 manifests/hour x 8 KB/manifest /3 compression ratio = 233 GB/month |
| 233 GB x 0,15 $/GB = 35 $/month |
| Total fee (Service + Egress) = 2231 $/month |
| Unit fee (Service + Egress): 372 $/month/Service |
Virtual Channel
Of course! The following two examples are showing how to calculate the monthly fee you will be charged for using the broadpeak.io platform for typical virtual channel use cases.
| Example 1 scenario (no personalization) |
| 1 Virtual Channel with 1 packaging format (HLS), no personalization |
| 100.000 DAEU (Daily Active End Users) watching 1 hour of streaming content per day |
| Watch time ratio of 5% (your broadpeak.io Virtual Channel vs any other content on your platform) |
| All video segments are originated from your origin and delivered by your CDN |
| Service Usage monthly fee |
| 1 Virtual Channel x 1 packaging format (HLS) = 1 Service |
| 24 hours/day x 30.5 days/month = 732 hours/month |
| 732 hours/month x 0,25 $/month ~ 183 $/month |
| Egress Usage monthly fee |
| Average manifest size : 8 KB (assumption) |
| Manifest polling & delivery frequency: every 6 s = 600/hour |
| Average manifest compression ratio : 3 (see link) |
| 100.000 DAEU x 1 hour x 5% x 30.5 days/month x 600 manifests/hour x 8 KB/manifest /3 compression = 233 GB/month |
| 233 GB x 0,15 $/GB = 35 $/month |
| Total fee (Service + Egress) = 218 $/month |
| Example 2 scenario (with personalization) |
| 3 personalized Virtual Channels with 2 packaging formats (HLS & DASH) |
| 100.000 DAEU (Daily Active End Users) watching 1 hour of streaming content per day |
| Watch time ratio of 5% (your broadpeak.io Virtual Channel vs any other content on your platform) |
| All video segments are originated from your origin and delivered by your CDN |
| Service Usage monthly fee |
| 3 Virtual Channels x 2 packaging formats (HLS & DASH) = 6 Services |
| 6 Services x 24 hours/day x 30.5 days/month = 4392 hours/month |
| 4392 hours/month * 0,50 $/hour = 2196 $/month |
| Egress Usage monthly fee |
| Average manifest size: 8 KB (assumption) |
| Manifest polling & delivery frequency: every 6 s = 600/hour |
| Average manifest compression ratio: 3 (see link) |
| 100.000 DAEU x 1 hour x 5% x 30.5 days/month x 600 manifests/hour x 8 KB/manifest /3 compression = 233 GB/month |
| 233 GB x 0,15 $/GB = 35 $/month |
| Total fee (Service + Egress) = 2231 $/month |
| Unit fee (Service + Egress): 372 $/month/Service |
Dynamic Ad Insertion
Certainly. Here is an example of SSAI pricing for a live channel.
| DAI example scenario |
| 1 live channel with 2 packaging formats (HLS & DASH) |
| 10 min of ads per hour, 15 s per ad, 80% fill rate |
| Gap filler prepared by customer and available on customer origin |
| Programmatic ad transcoding: less than 4000 new ad creatives per month |
| 100.000 DAEU (Daily Active End Users) watching 1 hour of streaming content per day |
| Watch time ratio of 5% (your broadpeak.io DAI vs any other content on your platform) |
| All video segments are originated from your origin and delivered by your CDN |
| Ad Insertion monthly fee |
| 100.000 DAEU x 1 hour x 5% x 30.5 days/month = 152500 hours |
| 152.500 x (10 min x 60 s / 15 s) x 80% / 1000 = 4880 CPM |
| 4880 x 0,49 = 2391 $/month |
| Egress Usage monthly fee |
| Average manifest size: 8 KB (assumption) |
| Manifest polling & delivery frequency: every 6 s = 600/hour |
| Average manifest compression ratio: 3 (see link) |
| 100.000 DAEU x 1 hour x 5% x 30.5 days/month x 600 manifests/hour x 8 KB/manifest /3 compression = 233 GB/month |
| 233 GB x 0,15 $/GB = 35 $/month |
| Total fee (Ad Insertion + Egress) = 2426 $/month |
Misc
As part of the transparency philosophy of the platform, you can access your consumption at all times. There are two ways to retrieve the metrics: through the webapp or through the API.
The key metrics currently being displayed are:
– Inserted ads
– Egress (GB)
– Content Replacement (hours)
– Virtual Channel (hours)
• Egress data is the output of data from the broadpeak.io platform related to your end users’ activity. We charge for originated manifest, some video segments (transcoded ads or slates) and client-side ad tracking data. In any case, you content video segment, do not go through broadpeak.io
• In the case of Content Replacement, only the data for DASH and HLS manifests will be charged if you provide both original content and replacement content.
• broadpeak.io supports manifest compression (see link)
• In some cases, manifests can be cached
Enterprise offers volume discounts based upon committed spending or contract terms. Once you have a better idea of your monthly or yearly traffic consumption you might benefit from additional cost savings by switching to an Enterprise plan.
You can request to change your plan at any point in time (for instance Free Trial to Pay-as-you-go). You simply need to click on the Upgrade button and fill out the form.
