Cloudflare Stream · FinOps Profile

Cloudflare Stream Finops

FinOps view of Cloudflare Stream spend. Stream bills on two usage dimensions with no per-request API fee: storage at 5 USD per 1,000 minutes of video stored (prepaid, in increments) and delivery at 1 USD per 1,000 minutes delivered (post-paid, on minutes watched). Encoding, the built-in player, and HLS/DASH delivery are included. Live and on-demand share the same model, so the primary cost drivers are how many minutes you retain in the library and how many minutes viewers actually watch. Committed-volume Enterprise agreements offer negotiated rates. A related Media Transformations feature bills separately per unique transformation operation.
