Two audience members subscribe to the video streams from the hosts using the ultra-low latency configurations. In the video streaming, there are three hosts (Host A, B, and C), each with a video resolution set to 960 × 720. Suppose that five users join a channel at the same time and have interactive live video streaming for 60 minutes. This section illustrates how Agora calculates aggregate video resolution, total usage per service type, and the associated costs. If you expect your total monthly usage to exceed 3,000,000 minutes, contact for additional discounts. For example, if Agora bills an account for 600,000 minutes, the usage from 1 to 99,999 minutes receives no discount, the usage from 100,000 to 499,999 minutes receives a 5% discount, and the usage from 500,000 to 600,000 minutes receives a 7% discount. These discounts apply to the usage within each tier. The unit prices for audio and video usage are as follows: Usage typeĪgora automatically offers the following tiered discounts for total monthly usage that exceeds 100,000 minutes: Minutes used The audio and video usage of an audience member at the low latency level is billed based on the pricing for Standard.The audio and video usage of an audience member at the ultra-low latency level is billed based on the pricing for Premium.Host: The audio and video usage of a host is billed based on the pricing for Premium.In a live-streaming channel, the audio and video usage is billed based on the user role and latency level: Because 1,382,400 is greater than 921,600 but less than 2,073,600, Agora counts this video usage as Full HD type and bills it at the Full HD unit price. This calculation applies when a user subscribes to one video stream or multiple video streams.īased on the aggregate resolution of all the video streams received, Agora divides video into the following types and calculates the usage duration of each type separately: Video type Aggregate resolution is the sum of the resolutions of all the video streams a user subscribes to at the same time, that is, the total number of pixels in the video streams the user receives. When a user subscribes to both audio and video at the same time, Agora only counts this as video usage.Īgora calculates video usage for each user based on aggregate resolution. Video usage is the amount of time that a user in a channel subscribes to video (of any type) from other users. Note that in channels with only one user, this usage is counted as audio usage, because the user does not subscribe to any video. Any time a user spends in a channel where they do not subscribe to video is counted as audio usage, regardless of whether they actually subscribe to audio from another user. Audio usage Īudio usage is the default rate at which users are billed for joining a channel. Whether they publish streams does not matter. If a user subscribes to video from other users in the channel, the usage is counted as video usage (of the applicable type) otherwise, the usage is counted as audio usage.Īgora calculates usage based solely on a user’s subscriptions in the channels they join. Agora measures the usage for each user from the moment they join a channel to the moment they leave it. In each video call or live streaming event, users communicate with each other in an Video SDK channel. Monthly cost = audio minutes × audio unit price + video minutes of each type × video unit price of each type Usage After deducting the monthly 10,000 free-of-charge minutes that Agora grants to every account, Agora multiplies any remaining usage by its corresponding unit price and adds up the costs to get the total cost for that month. Note that video usage is divided into four different types based on aggregate resolution and priced individually. At the end of each month, Agora calculates the total duration of the audio and video usage (in minutes) for that month in all projects under your Agora account. Cost calculation īilling occurs monthly. Note that if you have already signed a contract with Agora, the billing terms and conditions within that contract take precedence. This page explains how Agora calculates your monthly bill for using Voice Call, Video Call, and Interactive Live Streaming.
