  Cloudflare Stream uses simple usage-based pricing with two metered dimensions
  and no per-request API fee. Storage is prepaid at 5 USD per 1,000 minutes of
  video stored, purchased in increments. Delivery is post-paid at 1 USD per 1,000
  minutes of video delivered (watched). Live and on-demand video share the same
  billing model - a live broadcast with no viewers costs nothing to deliver, but
  any recording counts toward stored minutes, and watched live minutes bill at the
  standard delivery rate. Encoding, the built-in player, and HLS/DASH delivery are
  included at no extra charge. Enterprise plans with committed volume and custom
  terms are available.
notes: >-
  Rates confirmed from the Cloudflare Stream pricing page as of the review date
  (5 USD per 1,000 minutes stored, 1 USD per 1,000 minutes delivered). Media
  Transformations, a related but separately billed feature, began billing
  2025-11-01 at 0.50 USD per 1,000 monthly unique transformation operations with a
  5,000-operation monthly free allocation. Verify current numbers on the pricing
  page during reconciliation.
