Flat price per account — users are not a billing unit
Consumption-based credits, sold in monthly tiers ($25–$500/mo self-serve, custom above that). Credits are spent on Management (2 credits/GB/month for stored assets), Delivery (1 credit/GB bandwidth), and Transformation (variable by operation). Per-credit rate drops as plan tier rises ($0.25 down to $0.12, monthly billing; slightly cheaper on annual commitment). Each plan also states an implied storage/bandwidth cap in GB.
Self-hosted: no licence fee. Hosted: a user ceiling per tier

Most common complaint
The amount is not on the product page — it lives on the reseller’s storefront
Storage ceilings are modest next to enterprise platforms, so large video libraries outgrow the tiers quickly
Not checked
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
