Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in viewer-hours?
Viewer-hours measure the total time viewers spend watching your streams via our SFU relay servers. Pro includes 100 hours/month, Team includes 500 hours/month. Most users never exceed their allotment.
What happens if I exceed my viewer-hours?
We'll notify you when you're approaching your limit. Additional hours are billed at $0.08/hr (720p), $0.12/hr (1080p), or $0.20/hr (4K). We'll never cut off your stream mid-session.
Is the free tier really free?
Yes! P2P connections between 2 participants + up to 5 viewers are completely free, forever. No time limits, no credit card required. Great for pair programming and small demos.
Can I self-host to avoid costs?
Absolutely. SquadX Live is open source under the MIT license. You can run your own SFU infrastructure if you prefer. Great for enterprises with specific security requirements.
Why are you cheaper than Zoom and Teams?
We charge per team, not per seat. A 10-person team pays $49/month total with SquadX Live, vs $220/month with Zoom or Teams. No enterprise sales teams means lower overhead for you.
