Dacast lists Starter at $39 a month, Event at $63 a month and Scale at $165 a month, each billed annually, on its pricing page as read on November 4, 2026. Custom plans for high volume are quoted on request.

Yes. Dacast's pricing page offers a free 14-day trial. Its blog's trial box, read on November 4, 2026, says the trial includes 10 GB of bandwidth, so plan a small test rather than a full event.

Dacast sets a bandwidth allowance for each plan, from 2.4 TB a year on Starter to 24 TB a year on Scale. Its pricing page, read on November 4, 2026, does not publish a price per GB over that allowance and points high-volume users to a Custom plan, so ask Dacast before you sign.

Dacast's pricing page lists no branded app price: its player embeds in apps you build. Vodlix includes your own iOS and Android apps on PAYG Apps, at $299 a month plus $0.99 per active subscriber for subscriptions only, and on Professional at $1,550 a month with live streaming, as of November 2026. Which costs less depends on what building your own apps would cost you.

Dacast's Event plan card, at $63 a month billed annually, lists a paywall and pre, mid and post roll advertising, and Scale includes everything in Event. The feature table on the same page marks the paywall and advertising as add-ons in some columns, so confirm with Dacast which plan includes them.
