Video Hosting Services Available for User Generated Content

2 pointsayyappa994y ago1 comments

Can you share your experiences with available affordable solutions for video hosting user generated content used on mobiles?

This content is mainly screen recordings of mobile game play.

I have explored few and here are my observations

1. Cloud Flare Stream -> Priced based on minutes streamed and stored irrespective of the bandwidth/video quality.

2. AWS Media services -> This may go costly as CloudFront is costly comparitively

3. Mux -> Pricing nearly equal to Cloud Flare and priced based on streaming time

4. Bunny.net stream -> Charged only for streaming and encoding free - Not sure how much difference it gives

5. Dyntube.com -> Boast unlimited streaming for lowest prices but not sure about the service

The use-case I have is more like there can be limited videos and cost need to be optimised for streaming.

Can someone suggest a good option?

We seem to be working on similar projects (not competing though)

I did the same research, before bunny stream was offered. i had to set up my own encoding to make it viable, the others are just so expensive (it really adds up), so when bunny stream was launched, it was just a no brainer, storage, streaming, cdn and encoding all in one, plus they are such a great team already.

Didnt know about your #5. But looking at it quickly, it looks too good to be true.

there is '5cent cdn' as well, they offer free encoding as well.

good luck with your project!
