Pay-as-you-go video hosting and delivery
bunny.net is a content delivery network with a video product on top, and it charges by the gigabyte with a one dollar monthly minimum. A creator embedding video on their own site pays for what people actually watch instead of buying a plan sized for a good month. It expects you to be comfortable with a dashboard built for developers, and it does not try to be a membership platform.
Our note
This is the cheapest way to put video on your own site by a wide margin, and the cost of that is doing the integration yourself. Set the bandwidth limit on day one; usage billing without a ceiling is the one way this gets expensive.

A video membership with its own apps
Uscreen is for creators who want subscribers paying for a library rather than viewers watching an ad, and it will ship that library as a phone and television app under your own name. The entry plan takes no cut of a subscription and caps you at a hundred subscribers, so the pricing pushes growth toward the tier with a per-subscriber fee. One-time sales are charged at ten percent on that first plan.
Our note
The pricing is designed to move you off the first plan, and it does that at exactly a hundred subscribers. Work out what Pro costs at your target audience size before starting, because at five hundred subscribers the fee is most of the bill.
