Launch — $20 / month for $100 credit.
Scale — $500 / month for $1,000 credit.

Watch-outs

The $20 credit is usage, not unlimited delivery.
Live cannot use basic quality.
A video-engagement desk, not a WebRTC room.

Try instead if

Try Daily if you need WebRTC Prebuilt when you want Daily’s participant-minute rooms, not Mux’s $20 / $0.003 Engagement desk.
Try LiveKit if you need open-source SFU when you want LiveKit’s rooms, not Mux’s delivery-minute meter.
Try Cloudinary if you need media analysis when you want Cloudinary’s $0 / $89 Analysis pane, not Mux’s playing-time chart.

What it is for

Mux is a hosted video-engagement desk: you open Engagement, and pay-as-you-go includes a $20 monthly usage credit. Use it when the job is views and playing time you start inside a $20 credit, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Mux Engagement overview (Muxology Production, Views 64,900, Unique Viewers 30,300, Playing Time 190h, Avg Playing Time 18m, Avg Completion 59.3%, Subscriber exclusive / Our very first fan exclusive titles) from the product still — not a pricing card. The series themselves are ops of Engagement. Mux bills input / storage / delivery minutes + a $20 PAYG credit, not a chat seat.

Key features

Engagement — views / unique viewers / playing time you chart (cover still; blog). One desk. Cover 64,900 views and Muxology Production sit here.
Assets — an on-demand video you upload and encode (docs). An asset, not an engagement chart. Playback IDs sit here.
Live Streams — a live ingest you start (docs). A live stream, not an on-demand asset. Plus-quality input sits here.
Mux Player — a player you drop on a playback ID (docs; official video). A player, not a live stream. Controls sit here.
Mux Robots — an AI workflow you run on an on-demand asset (docs). A robot job, not a player. Summarize / chapters sit here.

The View breakdown on the cover is a cut of Engagement (not a sixth desk). PAYG / Launch / Scale tiles are the meter. The $20 monthly usage credit is the PAYG meter, not a desk we fold into Engagement.

Who it's for

Best fit: video / product teams who will stay on pay-as-you-go (no platform fee, no card to start, $20 monthly usage credit, 100,000 delivery minutes free) while they open a first Engagement chart, then buy Launch at $20 / month for $100 credit or Scale at $500 / month for $1,000 when usage outgrows the credit.

A video-engagement desk, not a WebRTC room. For Daily’s Prebuilt see Daily. For LiveKit’s SFU see LiveKit.

Alternatives

Daily — WebRTC Prebuilt when you want Daily’s participant-minute rooms, not Mux’s $20 / $0.003 Engagement desk.
LiveKit — open-source SFU when you want LiveKit’s rooms, not Mux’s delivery-minute meter.
Cloudinary — media analysis when you want Cloudinary’s $0 / $89 Analysis pane, not Mux’s playing-time chart.
