Publisher infrastructure · cost planning
Know what your video delivery really costs.
Compare monthly storage, CDN delivery, file requests and transcoding across Xenon, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Adjust the traffic profile and see each assumption.

Transcoding estimate is per output minute
Each month adds this share of your starting storage; all presets use 5% by default.

What the cache rate means
Viewer delivery stays the same. A higher hit rate reduces origin reads and cache-fill traffic where those are billed.

Defaults are estimates for a Europe-based example. Enter your negotiated or region-specific rates for a closer comparison.
A planning estimate, not a provider quote. It covers content processing, storage and delivery; compute and AI charges are excluded, and their exclusion is unlikely to materially change the relative cost ratios. Actual prices vary by region, cloud agreement, storage class, CDN configuration, codecs and rendition ladder. Xenon estimate assumes R2 storage and delivery with zero R2 internet-egress charge. Stream storage minutes and taxes are excluded.
