What is the pay-as-you-go model in OTT streaming?
Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG) is a pricing structure where OTT platform operators are charged based on their actual usage of storage, bandwidth, and user management rather than a flat fee or fixed subscription.
General
How is PAYG different from subscription pricing?
Traditional subscription pricing charges a fixed fee regardless of use, which often means paying for unused resources, while PAYG scales costs directly with actual consumption.

What are the main benefits of pay-as-you-go pricing?
The key benefits are cost efficiency, flexibility to scale resources up or down, transparent detailed billing, and reduced financial risk from over-committing to unused capacity.

Yes. PAYG eliminates large upfront investments, making it easier for startups to launch an OTT platform without significant financial strain, and it allows easier market entry and exit.

Storage, streaming bandwidth, CDN data delivery, and user management resources can all be billed based on actual usage instead of fixed commitments.

Detailed billing shows exactly what you are paying for, and real-time usage monitoring lets operators track consumption and make informed decisions to optimize spending.
