Frequently Asked Questions

How much does video hosting cost?

Kinescope offers a free plan with core features and paid plans starting from €10/month with usage-based charges for storage, traffic, and processing. DRM, streaming, CDN, and analytics are included, and billing is based only on actual delivery rather than user or video count.

Do I need an Enterprise plan to get DRM, white-label, or full API?

No. DRM protection (Widevine and FairPlay), white-labeling, full API access, and unlimited workspace members are all included in the Super plan. The free plan does not include DRM.

How does free migration from other platforms work?

Kinescope handles end-to-end transfer when migrating from another platform by pulling videos, metadata, and folder structures over via API or archive. Transcoding and onboarding are included at no extra cost for most libraries.

Where is my data stored, and is Kinescope GDPR-compliant?

Kinescope is based in the Netherlands and stores data in EU data centers by default, adhering to GDPR regulations including access, correction, deletion, and portability. Data does not leave the EEA without proper safeguards.

What SLA do you offer?

Kinescope targets 99.98% monthly uptime, with a financially-backed SLA for Mega plan users. All incidents and maintenance windows are published transparently.
