How Mux makes scaling video infrastructure predictable and affordable
Blog post from Mux
Alexander Voz and Antoine Leclercq, representing Wild Earth and Caast TV respectively, explored video infrastructure options to manage their growing needs and costs effectively. Wild Earth, a wildlife streaming service, experienced a rapid increase in viewership, requiring Alexander to find a scalable and cost-efficient solution. Meanwhile, Antoine of Caast TV, a live shopping platform, needed predictable cost forecasting to support enterprise client acquisitions. Both companies benefited from Mux's Scale plan, which offers $1,000 in usage credits for $500 a month, allowing cost reduction without annual commitments. This plan provides immediate economic benefits for high-volume usage, with decreasing pricing as usage increases, and supports a range of services like encoding, storage, and delivery. Wild Earth saw a 50% cost reduction despite increased streaming hours, while Caast TV achieved easier cost forecasting, reinforcing Mux as a reliable partner. Mux's pricing model, based on minutes of video, contrasts with other providers that charge by bandwidth, offering competitive rates as usage scales.
