Catalogue and new uploads
Record your file sizes and how much you will upload each month. Additional storage costs USD 29/month per TB. Additional encoding is based on usage and quoted before activation.
ATOMGO GUIDE
How much does it cost to launch and run an OTT platform?
If you already have courses, a video catalogue or a YouTube audience, work out what you need to sell and operate under your own brand. This budget separates platform fees, usage and your team’s work.

Three starting points for your budget
Terms checked on . Amounts in USD, before taxes.
| Project | Standard monthly fee | 12-month example |
|---|---|---|
| A catalogue or courses on your website: Go | USD 199/month | USD 2,190 with Go’s introductory offer |
| The same website + standard iOS and Android Apps | USD 597/month 199 + 199 + 199 | USD 6,966 with Go’s introductory offer and both Apps for 12 months |
| Website and AI-assisted operations: Agentic | USD 999/month | USD 11,988 in platform fees; implementation and tokens depend on scope |
For eligible new Go customers, USD 1 in total for the first month; then automatic renewal at USD 199/month. The 12-month calculation is 1 + (11 × 199) = USD 2,190; at the standard rate it would be 12 × 199 = USD 2,388. The initial payment must be confirmed. The offer applies once per eligible customer.
Go and Agentic are monthly subscriptions with no annual commitment. You can cancel Go’s renewal from your account before the next charge and retain access until the paid period ends. These examples assume you keep the service for all 12 months.
Each standard App adds USD 199/month and has a 12-month minimum term per platform. Two Apps total 398 × 12 = USD 4,776; adding Go with the introductory offer gives USD 6,966. A new custom template is optional and separate. Developer accounts, store fees and commissions, and extraordinary activation costs are separate. Reference prices, non-binding. Your final proposal is sent in writing.
Agentic requires configuration and activation. Implementation and token usage are confirmed according to scope. See the current plans and terms and available Apps.
Check your catalogue size and viewing needs
Go includes an OTT website, CMS, catalogue and player, 2 TB of storage, 100 GB of encoding per month and up to 1,000 concurrent VOD viewers. CDN transfer is included up to that concurrency level. Storage, encoding, transfer and concurrency measure different things: video hours alone cannot determine them.
Viewing and peaks
Estimate concurrent viewers, video quality and launch peaks. Higher concurrency is priced by capacity level; transfer beyond the included allowance costs USD 0.01 per GB.
Ask for a quote that specifies the capacity for your project and how overages are determined. No additional cost is activated without the customer’s authorisation.
Add payments, preparation and weekly work
- Selling and collecting payments. AtomGo charges USD 0 per subscriber, 0% revenue share and a 0% platform fee on PPV. Payment processing, taxes and store commissions remain separate items where applicable.
- Preparing the project. Include metadata cleanup, images, subtitles, user or payment migration, and integrations. Professional services are quoted according to scope; do not assume migration is included.
- Operations. Count the hours spent publishing, reviewing and supporting your audience. Go provides the platform; Agentic adds AI-assisted operations. To estimate time saved, test a real task using the same material and count human review time too.
The WellbeingSpace case with Rosa Flores shows an experience of building with AtomGo. Her testimonial is not a measurement of hours or a guarantee of savings.
Give every provider the same five inputs
- Your current catalogue size and expected monthly uploads.
- Expected concurrent viewers and the peaks you need to support.
- What you will sell: subscriptions, one-time access or a combination.
- The devices you need to support at launch.
- The tasks, migrations and integrations the platform or your team must handle.
Compare the upfront payment, standard fees, usage and minimum terms for that same project. Our AtomGo, Uscreen and Vimeo OTT comparison explains each provider’s public terms. To scope your budget, send us those five inputs.
Compare the cost of operating the business, not only the entry fee.
Technology, usage, third parties, implementation and weekly work belong in the same calculation.
