FAQs

  • What happens if I exceed my account's bandwidth?
    If you go over your bandwidth limit, your streams may shut off unless you enable overage protection. Overage protection charges $0.25 per GB for additional usage and can be activated to continue streaming beyond your plan's bandwidth allotment.
  • Does unused bandwidth roll over on monthly plans?
    Yes, extra bandwidth not used will roll over to the next month and continues until utilized or the monthly plan is canceled.
  • Are there any startup fees?
    No, Dacast does not charge any startup fees for its pricing plans.
  • How are storage fees applied?
    Each plan includes a set amount of storage; exceeding this amount incurs a fee of $0.15 per GB every month for most plans, with event plans requiring pre-purchase for additional storage.
  • Is there a minimum commitment for monthly plans?
    All monthly plans require a three-month minimum commitment if paid month-to-month, after which payment continues on a monthly basis.
