Today, we are launching two significant updates to AWS Elemental MediaTailor pricing:
A new VOD ad insertion usage type priced at a 50% discount to live.The new pricing model aligns better with how streaming providers monetize their content. By pricing VOD ad insertion at 50% of the cost of live workflows, you can expand your ad-supported VOD libraries more cost-effectively using MediaTailor.
Elimination of the $0.75 per 1000 ads pricing tier, so live ad insertion now has a single tier at $0.50 per 1000 ads.By removing the tiered pricing model of 1 to 5M insertions and greater than 5M insertions per month, this makes it easier for you to predict your bill and get started with MediaTailor.
The following summary illustrates the changes:
Previously, ad insertion pricing was tiered: Under the new pricing model: Both rates now apply regardless of volume.
The new pricing is effective immediately and will be applied automatically to your bill. Customers willing to make minimum commitments of more than 60 million ad insertions per month qualify for additional discounted pricing.
