  Red5 publishes public list pricing for both product lines. Red5 Pro (self-hosted
  server software) has four flat monthly tiers plus a per-project Mobile SDK licence.
  Red5 Cloud (managed PaaS) has a free-to-start usage tier, a committed Growth tier and
  a call-for-pricing Enterprise tier, each with published included quotas and published
  per-unit overage rates. The 2026-05-04 sweep recorded these as unavailable behind a
  403; refetched successfully 2026-09-04 with a browser User-Agent and replaced with the
  real published tiers.

notes: >-
  Red5 Pro pricing carries a published footnote — "additional fees may apply for
  services such as Castaway, custom SLAs, and custom developed features". Red5 Cloud
  bills two metered units (streaming GB and instance hours) plus PubNub transactions for
  the bundled chat/presence layer. The published SLA (99.9% availability, service
  credits) is at https://www.red5.net/legal/service-level-agreement/.
