How Is API Usage Billed?

The API is paid per minute of video, from a prepaid balance.

What counts as a minute:

The length of the video you send, billed per second with a minimum of 30 seconds. The price depends on the resolution: €0.25 per minute up to 1080p, €0.40 per minute above 1080p (up to 4K per eye). Regular, 180° or 360°, 30 or 60 frames per second: the same price. Full side-by-side is always included; spatial video for Apple Vision Pro is €0.10 per minute extra.

Hosting and the 3D player:

Want us to host the video and play it in our player or through a stream link? That is €0.10 per minute extra. 25,000 watched minutes a month are included, for every account, also with Player Pro. Above that you pay €1.50 per 1,000 minutes (€0.0015 a minute), taken from your balance after the month. For example: 100,000 watched minutes in a month costs €112.50 extra.

Player Pro:

Cinema and environments on a Meta Quest, your own logo and colours, no Xclusive VR branding: €199 a month, the first 14 days free. This is the only subscription.

Your balance:

Add a payment card first; then you get 10 free test minutes. Top up any amount from €100, or turn on automatic top-up. A conversion is taken from your balance when it starts. Converting a lot? Ask us about a volume price.

If your balance runs out:

A video that needs more than you have left is not started and costs nothing. Top up and send it again.

Your invoice:

You receive an invoice for every top-up and every Player Pro month, with your company details and VAT number. Within the EU the VAT is reverse-charged. Prices exclude VAT.

Hosting after the first year: it renews every year at €0.08 per video minute (€0.05 with Player Pro), taken from your balance the day before the end date. We email you 30 days before. Turn renewal off per video on your account page; the video then goes offline on its end date.
