Hi People,

Regarding the growing demand from both companies and people, it’s time for Hey!Watch to highlight its skills as a pure Video Encoding Web Service.

Consequently, our current business model is not adapted anymore. So, we have decided to adopt the same basis as Amazon S3 to best suit you:

• Pay only for what you use
• No start-up cost
• A unique cheap price of $0,10 per encode (no more free)
• 100% flexible: just credit your account with the number of encode you precisely need (min 5 credits)
• Unlimited in time: you can use your credits without any deadline. No pressure and no waste of money.

We increased the unit price because we want to maintain a high and professional encoding level for All. But, paradoxically, you save money: you can adjust sharply to your needs and don’t waste any encoding sessions anymore. So, you optimize your investment and make your subscription more profitable.

Besides, the max video length limit has been extended to 45min to encode longer videos like TV shows or whatever you want. Still more, you can now extract audio from any video file and convert it in MP3 or Ogg.

For both Watcher and Business, you won’t loose anything. Actually, we will credit your account with remaining encode sessions. For example, if you subscribed for one month with 100 encode sessions and you used 40, your will get 60 credits back.

Personalization is what people want most. The old model was too restrictive because of the time limit and the unadapted number of encodes. We know that everyone has his own needs, and this main change will be better for all the different uses and behaviors we met. We want to maximize scaling effects and pass obviously those benefits to you. That’s why we choose this model and we trust the results.
