How much does Dacast cost?

The panel at the top shows the cheapest way in, and the section under it lists each plan and what it includes.

Is there a free plan or trial?

Check the plans above; we note any free trial and the date we last checked it.

Often, yes. A bill based on plays, attendees, bandwidth or storage rises with usage, so the headline price is only the starting point.

What Dacast costs, what each plan charges for, and what to expect as your traffic grows.

By Dominic Reyes, lead reviewer. Edited by the Play That Sells desk.

Starter $39/mo billed annually; Event $63/mo; Scale $165/mo. Overage $0.30/GB bandwidth, $0.15/GB storage with overage protection enabled.

Prices as of 14 October 2026, from the vendor's pricing page.

Pay-per-view (TVOD), subscriptions (SVOD) and ad-based (AVOD) all ship on the platform, with promo codes, group pricing and free preview clips. If you sell entry to live broadcasts or a content library, most of the selling layer is already there.
Reliable streaming is the consistent praise. Long-term Capterra reviewers, churches and round-the-clock broadcasters among them, describe smooth, dependable streams over years of use, delivered over top-tier CDNs with unlimited concurrent viewers included.
It is a genuine end-to-end platform: live and on-demand video, a white-label ad-free HTML5 player, an OTT app layer, a full video API, DRM and AES on higher tiers, plus domain and country restriction. One vendor covers broadcast, hosting and monetization.
Real support and 16 years on the market. Round-the-clock support is included on all tiers, phone support from the Scale tier up, and the company has served professional broadcasters since 2008.

It is a broadcast and OTT platform. Its player and analytics center on live audiences and paid content access. A direct-response VSL still needs buyer-split retention, sales-led experiments and cart attribution elsewhere.
Billing catches people out, and it is the loudest complaint. Annual plans auto-renew by default, and several Trustpilot reviewers report being charged for a full extra year with refunds refused, saying they were never clearly told. Set a renewal reminder and read the terms before you commit.
The bandwidth meter can surprise you. The included transfer is a fixed allowance, and extra bandwidth costs $0.30 per GB, so a bigger audience than you planned becomes an overage. Model your view count against the plan's TB allowance first.
It is priced for organisations, and month-to-month has a three-month minimum. The Starter plan is $39/mo billed annually and DRM only arrives on the $165/mo Scale plan, so a solo marketer testing a single funnel is paying broadcaster money for broadcaster features they may not use.
