api.video is a managed cloud hosting product that runs containerised or serverless workloads with built-in CI/CD and edge delivery. Its product surface covers managed application hosting with autoscaling alongside container or serverless runtime options, with the recurring subscription paid through the operator's direct billing or App Store / Google Play / partner-billing surfaces.

Plan structure and pricing tiers

The tier ladder splits across Free for testing the service, Production for everyday use, and Enterprise for power users or teams. Anchor pricing for 2026: Free 10 hours/month; Production from USD 119/month for 100 hours; Enterprise custom. Consult Subger's true-price tracker for api.video for all-in renewal costs.
