Video Hosting Services Available for User Generated Content

2 pointsby ayyappa99over 3 years ago
Can you share your experiences with available affordable solutions for video hosting user generated content used on mobiles?<p>This content is mainly screen recordings of mobile game play.<p>I have explored few and here are my observations<p>1. Cloud Flare Stream -&gt; Priced based on minutes streamed and stored irrespective of the bandwidth&#x2F;video quality.<p>2. AWS Media services -&gt; This may go costly as CloudFront is costly comparitively<p>3. Mux -&gt; Pricing nearly equal to Cloud Flare and priced based on streaming time<p>4. Bunny.net stream -&gt; Charged only for streaming and encoding free - Not sure how much difference it gives<p>5. Dyntube.com -&gt; Boast unlimited streaming for lowest prices but not sure about the service<p>The use-case I have is more like there can be limited videos and cost need to be optimised for streaming.<p>Can someone suggest a good option?

We seem to be working on similar projects (not competing though)<p>I did the same research, before bunny stream was offered. i had to set up my own encoding to make it viable, the others are just so expensive (it really adds up), so when bunny stream was launched, it was just a no brainer, storage, streaming, cdn and encoding all in one, plus they are such a great team already.<p>Didnt know about your #5. But looking at it quickly, it looks too good to be true.<p>there is &#x27;5cent cdn&#x27; as well, they offer free encoding as well.<p>good luck with your project!
