Our customers pay $0.09 per GB of data streamed, for any streaming application. Remember, your video is streamed out in bits, but you are billed in bytes (divide by 8).

At ScaleEngine, we pay in advance for our network access and servers. Also, we are in a somewhat unique position, in that we cannot "repossess" what we sell to you (data), and even if we could, most of our users are in other countries. What we do, therefore, is quite simple.

We take a payment early in the month, to cover what we think your usage will be. If you are just starting out, this is your account minimum of $25, $50, or $100. This gets you the ability to stream with us at our $0.09 per GB rate.

If you use less than your minimum of data, you will just pay the minimum the next month. If you use more than your minimum, we will either take another payment during the month to keep your account in good standing, or we will make up the difference for the next month, and adjust the next month's estimate up as well. For example, if you use $40 worth of data on a $25 account, we'll estimate $40 for the next month, and also charge you for the $15 overage you had in the month where you used $40, but only had $25 on account. We would charge you $40 + $15, which would be $55 for the next month, to cover the overage and the new $40 estimate.
