Pricing

Pay once. Own your platform.

An OTT conversion build is $75,000, one time. No licensing fees, no per-subscriber fees, no revenue splits. After launch, the code, the data and the subscribers are yours.

Quotedscoped with you

For platforms that go beyond an OTT conversion: complex features, integrations or business models.

Results

What switching did for one client.

50%+ more revenue per subscriber

After switching to their own app, with no per-subscriber platform fee.

Days to get paid, not months

Payouts used to be held for up to two and a half months. Stripe now pays them directly, in days.

$0 in per-subscriber fees

No licensing, no per-subscriber fees, no revenue split. They paid for the build once.

Figures from one Ocular client, rounded. We never publish a client's numbers next to their name.

Services

Services, when you want them.

Ocular Care

Optional support and maintenance, month to month, no contract. Starts at $1,000/mo.

Migration

We move your library and your subscribers off Vimeo, with you. Quoted by library size. We once moved about 10,000 videos off Vimeo by hand: six people, one month.
