Dacast is a solid live-streaming and video-hosting product, billed on metered bandwidth and storage. Vodlix is a full private-label platform: subscriptions, native mobile & TV apps, a branded storefront, DRM and monetization — on one flat monthly fee with 0% revenue share. If you're building a subscription video business, not just hosting a stream, that's the difference.

Dacast's bill grows with every gigabyte you deliver. Vodlix is flat, with CDN & bandwidth included. Estimate your monthly streaming volume — edit any field to match your plan.
Defaults: Dacast Scale ($165/mo, 24 TB/yr ≈ 2,000 GB/mo included, $0.30/GB overage) vs Vodlix Professional ($1,550/mo, bandwidth included).
$165 base + 10,000 GB overage × $0.30 (12,000 GB delivered)
Flat — CDN & bandwidth included, 0% revenue share
Bandwidth estimate only — actual usage depends on bitrate, device mix and buffering. Dacast bandwidth is sold as an annual allotment (shown here as a monthly-equivalent), and on higher volumes Dacast offers pre-paid data as low as $0.09/GB, so real costs can be lower — edit the overage field to model it. Vodlix Professional includes bandwidth up to plan limits (overage $0.01/GB). Dacast defaults per dacast.com/pricing (verified July 2026). This is an illustration, not a quote.
