Dacast

The company operates a B2B cloud software platform for live and on‑demand video streaming. It creates value by giving organisations a managed, end‑to‑end stack for video ingest, transcoding, storage, delivery, playback, access control, analytics and monetisation, accessible via a self‑serve interface and APIs. This allows customers to run video services, events and libraries without maintaining their own streaming infrastructure or payment integrations.

Revenue is generated through recurring subscription plans that bundle defined amounts of bandwidth and storage, complemented by usage-based overage fees when customers exceed plan limits. Higher‑value enterprise accounts are supported via custom contracts and add‑on services, such as premium support and implementation assistance. Additional revenue is created via commissions on pay‑per‑view and subscription transactions processed through the platform’s integrated paywall, and potentially through professional services for complex deployments and events.

Dacast is a US-based online video platform that provides live and on‑demand video streaming infrastructure for organisations. Its cloud service covers ingest, transcoding, storage, global content delivery, an HTML5 player, security controls, analytics, developer APIs and monetisation tools such as integrated pay-per-view and subscriptions.

The company generates revenue primarily through tiered SaaS subscriptions that package bandwidth and storage, with additional income from overage usage, enterprise contracts, transaction commissions on viewer payments through its paywall, and professional services. Customers are mainly small to midsize businesses, media owners, event organisers, sports and education providers, and enterprises that need to host, distribute and monetise video without building their own streaming stack.
