Calculate your software cost
Set the units you need at the same time. Start with one input, or set it to zero and choose other modules.
Monthly, per module: $6/unit for units 1–20, $5 for 21–40, then $4. Each tier applies only to units in that range.
Incoming streams1 unit = 1 input
Each concurrently accepted video input uses one unit.Video mixer inputs1 unit = 1 mixer input
Each camera or other source selected as an AV Mixer input uses one unit. Count a camera used as an AV Mixer input once, not as a separate camera charge.Restreaming and transcoding tasks1 unit = 1 output or job
Each independent output or transcoding job uses one unit. AWS planning below sizes these as outputs without transcoding; transcodes need a load test and may require a larger instance.Recordings1 unit = 1 recording job
Each concurrent recording job uses one unit.VOD viewers1 unit = 50 viewers
One unit provides capacity for 50 VOD viewers.Pay-per-view viewers1 unit = 5 viewers

Billing details
What changes the bill?
Self-hosted volume tiers
Each module has its own progressive tiers. For example, 21 input units cost 20 × $6 + 1 × $5 = $125/month. Adding one recording unit adds $6, not $5.
AWS software rates
The six C5 software rates are $0.38, $0.78, $1.58, $3.58, $6.35, and $8.76 per hour. The calculator uses the rate for its selected C5 size, multiplied by running hours.
Infrastructure and delivery
Callaba does not add a separate software-license rate for Mbps, GB, bitrate, or transfer. Budget for your host, storage, CDN, and network egress with the relevant providers.
FAQ
Pricing questions
Does one stream mean one whole workflow?
No. One input can be monitored, recorded, and sent to several output tasks. Select each concurrent job that applies to the actual workflow.
Is AWS infrastructure included in the hourly number?
No. The AWS card shows the Callaba Marketplace software rate. EC2, EBS, data transfer, storage, and other AWS services are billed separately by AWS.
Why is API access different between deployment models?
API access is a separate unit in the self-hosted model. It is included in the AWS software model for the selected C5 instance.
