18 features across 6 domains. 8 universal billing primitives. Per-second metering on Tempo.
Compose your plan from streaming primitives — ingest, transcode, captions, inference, observability — billed per-second. Or pick a flat-rate tier. Both work. Composer is the recommended path.
New: composable pricing on Tempo
Compose your plan from 18 features. Per-second metering on Tempo via Stripe Billing Meters + Metronome. No flat-rate commitment, no overage surprises. Most teams switch from flat-rate to composer once they hit 500K stream-seconds/month.
No gates. No SSO tax. No add-ons.
Every product, day one
All 70 products from your first login. 4K HDR, SSO/SAML, DRM, all 8 protocols, AI voice, virtual studio — included. Not locked behind enterprise tiers.
Pay for what you use
8 usage meters track your actual consumption. Streaming minutes, storage, bandwidth, AI, voice, compute. Higher tiers get volume discounts on overage.
Scale saves money
Scale saves 25% on overage. Volume saves 60%. The more you use, the more you save. Upgrade or downgrade anytime — no lock-in.

Frequently asked questions
Do all plans really include every product and feature?
Yes. Every plan includes all 69 WAVE products, all 8 streaming protocols, 4K HDR quality, SSO/SAML, DRM, full API access, and every AI feature. Plans differ only by included usage quotas, support level, and overage rates. Launch and above include unlimited team members. No feature gates. No SSO tax.
Is there a free trial?
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Credit card required (Stripe Radar protects against fraud). Full access to every product and feature during the trial. Cancel anytime before day 7 and pay nothing.
What happens when I exceed my included usage?
We never cut off your streams mid-broadcast. Overage charges apply automatically at your tier's rate. Higher tiers get lower overage rates (Scale saves 25%, Volume saves 60%). We send alerts at 50%, 80%, and 100% usage so you can upgrade proactively.
Why start at $19/mo instead of free?
WAVE is enterprise infrastructure for professional streaming. Every feature — SSO, DRM, 4K HDR, AI voice, all 8 protocols — is included from day one, even on Starter. The 7-day trial lets you experience everything risk-free. This model lets us invest in quality and support instead of subsidizing free accounts. At $19/mo for 69 products, Starter is less than the cost of a single Netflix subscription.
Can I change my plan anytime?
Upgrade instantly — changes take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrade at next billing cycle. Since every plan includes every feature, plan changes are seamless — streams, recordings, settings, domains, SSO config, and team members are preserved.
What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover on all plans. Scale and Volume customers can pay via ACH or wire transfer. Custom tier supports annual invoicing with NET-30 terms. USDC stablecoin payments available for all plans.
Do unused minutes roll over?
Minutes reset each billing cycle. If you consistently use 70%+ of your allocation, upgrading is typically more cost-effective than paying overage — plus you get lower per-unit rates on everything.
Do you offer nonprofit or education discounts?
Verified 501(c)(3) nonprofits and accredited educational institutions receive 25% off any plan. Contact [email protected] — most applications approved within 24 hours.
