Your MPS bills contain only the fees incurred for using media processing services such as transcoding and remuxing. Fees for COS are not included.
MPS supports daily and monthly billing for the pay-as-you-go mode. The default billing cycle is daily. If you want to switch to monthly billing, please contact our business team.
Daily Billing
Each day, MPS calculates your usage in the previous day, sends you the bill, and deducts the fee from your account balance. You can view your usage details in the console. The daily billing cycle is used by default. If you want to change to monthly billing, please contact our business team.
Billing cycle: Daily. The fees incurred each day are billed and deducted from your account balance between 12:00 and 18:00 the following day.
Billing mode: Pay-as-you-go.
Audio/Video Transcoding
General Transcoding
Pricing: Fees are calculated by video duration (minutes) after transcoding by the corresponding unit price (USD/min).

Billing details
Billing rule: Transcoding services are billed daily based on the codec used and the output resolution and video duration.
Billing formula: Video transcoding fees = Output video duration (minutes) x Unit price (USD/minute)
Each transcoding task is billed only once. If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute.
Billing examples
Suppose you used the transcoding service in the Mumbai region on January 1 and generated two videos. One was 60 minutes long and had a resolution of 2560 x 1440 px. The other was 100 minutes long and had a resolution of 1600 x 980. The codec used was H.264. On January 2, the transcoding fee deducted would be as follows: 0.0355 (USD/minute) x 60 (minutes) + 0.023 (USD/minute) x 100 (minutes) = 4.43 USD
Audio/Video Enhancement
Video enhancement is billed according to the duration of the output file. The unit price (USD/min) is the same regardless of the codec.
Video Enhancement
Output Resolution | Price (USD/min) |
4K (short side ≤ 2160 px) | 4.6 |
2K (short side ≤ 1440 px) | 2.3 |
FHD (short side ≤ 1080 px) | 1.15 |
HD (short side ≤ 720 px) | 0.57 |
SD (short side ≤ 480 px) | 0.29 |
Billing rule: Audio/Video enhancement is billed daily according to the output resolution and duration.
Billing formula: Audio/Video enhancement fees = Output file duration (minutes) x Unit price of different resolutions (USD/minute)
Each audio/video enhancement task is billed only once. If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute.

Billing details
Billing rule: Audio enhancement is billed daily according to the output duration.

Billing details
Billing rule: Charges are based on the resolution and duration of the video after enhancement, with a daily billing cycle.
Billing formula: Video Enhancement Processing Fee = Output file duration (minutes) × Unit Price of different resolutions (USD/minute).
For each video enhancement task executed, only one fee is charged. Within a billing cycle, if the duration is less than one minute, it will be calculated as one minute.
Intelligent Identification
The intelligent identification feature supports recognizing video content with AI technologies, including text recognition, speech recognition, opening and closing credits recognition, and intelligent frame-by-frame tagging. The billing unit is USD/minute.
