Stream Terabytes for Quarters

Hesedvid is built for companies who serve high volume of videos and need unbeatable pricing.

Performance

Hesedvid is built to load and start playing unbelievably fast, even with a cache miss. You can read about our engineering approach to this here.

Ease of integration

To upload a video, either request a pre-signed URL from us or pass through a GCS URL with the video on it.

import requests

API_BASE = "https://api.hesedvid.com"

def upload_via_presign(file_path: str) -> None:
    # 1) request pre-signed URL from Hesedvid
    resp = requests.post(f"{API_BASE}/v1/uploads/presign", json={"filename": file_path})
    resp.raise_for_status()
    presign = resp.json()["url"]

    # 2) PUT the file to the returned URL
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        put = requests.put(presign, data=f)
        put.raise_for_status()

    # 3) notify Hesedvid that the upload is complete (optional)
    # requests.post(f"{API_BASE}/v1/uploads/complete", json={"presign": presign})

upload_via_presign("/path/to/video.mp4")

import requests

API_BASE = "https://api.hesedvid.com"

def submit_gcs_url(gcs_url: str) -> None:
    # Tell Hesedvid to ingest from your GCS bucket
    resp = requests.post(f"{API_BASE}/v1/uploads/gcs", json={"gcs_url": gcs_url})
    resp.raise_for_status()

submit_gcs_url("gs://your-bucket/video.mp4")

Video Quality

Hesedvid gives you two toggles for video quality. The first is the pre-set which offers max bit rates and resolution. The second is the ffmpeg encoding control which determines quality at a given bitrate.

TL;DR we give you control of the encoding speed vs quality trade off. Read more in our documentation here.

Uptime

Hesedvid has a 100% video delivery SLA on every plan. We use Uptrends to create a public uptime monitoring tool.

Delivery Cost

Hesedvid bills $0.000097 per minute of video delivered, regardless of video resolution.

Storage Cost

Standardized to $ per GB‑month (select profile bitrate for conversion).

Encoding Cost

Prices are per minute.

Enterprise Tier

Enterprises can pay $7500/year for 3-year price locks and a shared Slack channel with an engineer.
