  Vimeo OTT (formerly VHX) is sold as a paid platform, not as a standalone
  metered API. The REST API at api.vhx.tv is a management surface included with a
  Vimeo OTT account; there is no separate per-call API fee. Vimeo OTT publishes a
  Starter plan and an Enterprise plan on its pricing page. Starter is web-only
  with no upfront platform fee - Vimeo instead takes a per-subscriber fee plus a
  service fee on one-time (transaction) purchases, so "we only make money when
  you make money". Enterprise is a custom monthly or yearly agreement that adds
  mobile and connected-TV apps, higher bandwidth and upload allowances, AVOD/FVOD
  and live pay-per-view monetization, SSO, SLAs, and dedicated support, with
  volume-based discounts.
notes: >-
  Confirmed from the official pricing page (vimeo.com/ott/pricing): Starter charges
  $1 per subscriber per month and a 10% fee on one-time purchases; Enterprise is
  custom-quoted (monthly or yearly, volume discounts) and includes 60TB bandwidth,
  200 upload hours, and full HD/1080p. Some third-party pricing write-ups cite an
  additional payment-processing fee (approximately 2.5% + $0.30 per transaction)
  when Vimeo processes the payment, and reference a mid-tier "Growth" plan; those
  figures are NOT stated on the official pricing page as of the review date and are
  flagged here as unconfirmed. Verify all rates directly with Vimeo before relying
  on them.
