All CloudRadio services are billed in USD.
Radio Hosting
Radio Hosting uses usage-based billing with a monthly cap:
- Services are billed by the hour based on actual usage
- Hourly charges accumulate until they reach the monthly cap
- Once the cap is reached, you pay no more for that service that month
- Billing is done in arrears: you pay at the end of the month for the services you used
You can customize your plan from 10 to 1,000 simultaneous listeners (slots) per radio. Your capacity is reserved exclusively for your radio. When the limit is reached, new listeners cannot connect until a slot becomes available.
Each slot is billed at $0.0003/hour up to a monthly cap of $0.20/slot.
| Plan | Hourly Rate | Monthly Cap |
|---|---|---|
| 10 slots | $0.003/hr | $2/mo |
| 25 slots | $0.0075/hr | $5/mo |
| 50 slots | $0.015/hr | $10/mo |
| 100 slots | $0.03/hr | $20/mo |
| 200 slots | $0.06/hr | $40/mo |
| 500 slots | $0.15/hr | $100/mo |
| 1000 slots | $0.30/hr | $200/mo |
CloudRadio One
CloudRadio One is a fully managed radio plan at $39/month that includes AutoDJ, storage, and streaming in one package.
- Includes AutoDJ with music library storage
- Prorated to the day if you start or cancel mid-month
- Billed in arrears on the 1st of each month
AutoDJ Addon
The AutoDJ Addon adds automated music playback to an existing Radio Hosting plan for $8/month.
- Requires an active Radio Hosting subscription
- Includes music library storage and scheduling
- Prorated to the day if you start or cancel mid-month
- Billed in arrears on the 1st of each month
Partial Month Billing
Since Radio Hosting is billed hourly, you only pay for the time your radio exists. CloudRadio One and AutoDJ Addon are prorated to the day.
Radio Hosting example: You create a 100-slot radio on January 15th at noon and destroy it on January 20th at noon:
- You’re billed for exactly 120 hours (5 days x 24 hours)
- Cost: 120 hours x $0.03/hr = $3.60
Radio Hosting example: You create a 100-slot radio on January 15th and keep it through the end of the month:
- January 15-31 = 408 hours x $0.03/hr = $12.24
- You pay $12.24 (not the full $20 monthly cap, since you didn’t have the radio for the full month)
CloudRadio One example: You create a CloudRadio One station on January 10th:
- 22 days out of 31 = $39 x (22/31) = $27.68
- The following month, you pay the full $39
