Frequently asked questions

One GB represents one billion bytes of billable usage. For most Robots that transform files, we add the input and output file sizes. Processing an 800 MB input into a 200 MB output therefore uses 1 GB.

Because file sizes and workflows differ, one GB is not a fixed number of files or operations. It could cover one large conversion or many small ones. Use the usage estimator for a practical workflow estimate, and see the Robot pricing page for the exact usage rules of each Robot.

You can change or cancel your plan at any time.
There are no hidden costs. What you see is what you get.
Weʼll notify you via email when youʼve reached 80% of your plan usage.
You can set monthly monetary spending limits.
Eligible plans can be billed monthly or yearly. Monthly subscriptions include proration for the first month.
We have been in business for 16 years and we’re not going anywhere.

GB gives every workflow a common unit, while each Robot adjusts how much usage counts to reflect the infrastructure it needs.

Most processing Robots count the combined input and output file sizes.
Lightweight Robots have built-in discounts. For example, many import and export Robots count only 10% of the bytes they handle, while some Robots are free.
Resource-intensive Robots can have a minimum charge per operation. This accounts for fixed compute or provider costs even when the input file is very small.

This keeps pricing comparable across image, video, audio, document, storage, and AI workflows without pretending that every operation costs the same amount. Every Robot’s discount and minimum charge is listed on the Robot pricing page.

The Community plan does not include overage. Processing stops when its included 5 GB are depleted and resumes when the allowance resets at the beginning of the next month, or when you upgrade.

Every paid plan includes overage processing. Unless you set a spending limit in your account, processing continues after the included usage is depleted and the additional usage is billed at the plan’s overage rate. We also send usage warnings by email so you can upgrade when another plan would be more cost-effective.

For instance, our Startup plan costs $69 per month and includes 40 GB. Overage is $1.80 per additional GB. If you use 40.8 GB, you pay $69 + 0.8 × $1.80 = $70.44.

Generally speaking, the more you can commit to using Transloadit, the more affordable it becomes. We recommend starting with the free-forever Community plan and leveling up when the time is right. We’ll contact you when more cost-effective plan upgrades are in sight. You can change payment plans at any time. If your business demands more performance, encoding features or commercial support, choose the Startup plan. If you already know you can commit to 300 GB a month or more, contact us about a Custom plan.

Absolutely! The Community plan’s 5 GB allowance replenishes every month and remains free forever.

The Community plan is meant as a free trial. Image results are watermarked, while audio and video results are trimmed so trial transcodes stay fast. Paid plans remove these output limits.

The Community plan does not include overage, so processing stops after the 5 GB allowance is used. Every paid plan continues processing with overage usage unless you set a spending limit.

Charging by the byte allows us to support any kind of conversion with a single $/GB metric.

Transloadit handles many types of files. Not all of those have a duration (documents, zip files, images, web pages) and the ones that do (audio & video) are not all created equal. If we charged by the minute, we would need separate rates for low-res vs. 4K. That’s already getting quite complex and it would only get worse when new formats come out — 32K anyone?

We do offer discounts when we can in order to pass on savings. For instance, because 🤖/video/thumbs is very lightweight, it only counts every tenth byte flowing through.

We sum up each Robot's input and output. Depending on the number of Steps you have and how you chain these together (maybe you want to virus scan your media before passing it to encoding & storage Steps).

We found that charging for input & output of each step was the only sensible way to support any kind of file and all possible combinations and workflows, in a sustainable way. That said, we do provide drastic discounts (some bots are either free, or only every tenth byte is counted) in cases where this pricing model would become unattractive.
