## What you pay for

1. **Streaming time** — metered by the minute while a stream is on air. Rate depends on the **resolution** and **frame rate** you choose per stream. This is the main cost.
2. **Video preparation (encoding)** — a one-time fee of about **$0.005 per minute of encoding time**, charged once when a video is successfully converted into a stream-ready format.

Credits unit: **$1 = 1,000,000 credits**. Billing is per minute live; monthly figures below assume 30 days (43,200 minutes) of continuous streaming.

## Streaming rates by quality

Cost of running one stream **nonstop for 30 days**, by resolution and frame rate (USD):

| Resolution  | 24 fps  | 25 fps  | 30 fps  | 60 fps  |
| ----------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- |
| 720p        | $4.02   | $4.19   | $5.01   | $7.52   |
| 1080p       | $7.99   | $8.34   | $9.98   | $14.99  |
| 1440p       | $15.98  | $16.68  | $20.00  | $29.98  |
| 4K (2160p)  | $23.98  | $24.97  | $29.98  | $45.01  |

Because billing is per minute, a shorter run costs proportionally less: a 24-hour stream costs about 1/30 of the monthly figure, a 48-hour stream about 1/15. Example: 1080p at 30 fps ≈ **$0.0139/hour** → ≈ $0.33 for 24 h, ≈ $0.67 for 48 h, $9.98 for a full 30 days.

## Video preparation (encoding)

One-time charge of **5,000 credits ($0.005) per minute of encoding time**, billed once per video when the conversion succeeds. You are not charged for failed conversions.

## What's free

- **Uploads and storage** — keeping videos on Streamloop costs nothing.
- **Idle loops** — a loop that is not live costs nothing; set up as many as you like.
- **Free trial credits** — enough to run a real stream for roughly an hour, no card required.

## Buying credits (top-up)

- Minimum top-up: **$5**. Unused credits stay on your account and never expire.
- Payment methods: **card** (processed by Stripe or Keepz) or **cryptocurrency** (processed by 0xProcessing) — USDT, USDC, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), across major coins and networks.

## Optional monthly credit plan

During onboarding, you can subscribe to a monthly plan that adds a fixed amount of credits sized for your stream. The subscription is optional; pay-as-you-go top-ups remain available.

## Running low or out of credits

- **Starting a stream** checks your balance first; if you do not have enough credits for the stream you configured, it will not start until you top up.
- **Mid-stream**, credits drain by the minute. If your balance hits zero, the stream **stops automatically** — you are never charged beyond what you bought. Your videos and settings are preserved; top up and start again any time.

## Refunds

You can request a refund on **unused credits from a purchase** from the matching invoice in billing settings. Free trial credits are non-refundable, and a refund is capped at the credits you have left. Approved refunds return to the original payment method.
