Dyte · FinOps Profile

Dyte Finops

FinOps view of Dyte spend. Dyte bills on a per-participant-minute basis: every participant accrues minutes for the duration they are connected, with separate (lower) rates for audio-only versus video. A recurring monthly free allotment of participant minutes offsets the first slice of usage; recording and livestreaming are metered separately. Cost is driven by participant count multiplied by session duration, so concurrency and meeting length are the primary levers. Dyte is migrating to Cloudflare RealtimeKit, so billing may shift to Cloudflare; rates are not reconciled.
