RECOMMENDED

Pay-as-you-go.

Castinar is broadcast infrastructure, billed like one. You top up a prepaid wallet, you broadcast, the wallet auto-debits per gigabyte delivered. No subscription, no minimums beyond $1/month, no surprises. Spending caps and a live cost meter make sure you always know what an event costs before it ends.

▸ ALIGNED INCENTIVES

Lower take rate, every tier you climb.

When you sell paid events, products or subscriptions through Castinar, we take a small application fee on each transaction — collected automatically by Stripe Connect, Tpay split payments, or PayPal Marketplace. The rate slides lower with every plan upgrade, so the more you grow, the more of every sale you keep.

Standard payment processor fees (~3%) pass through on top, paid directly to your processor of choice. Castinar never holds your money — it flows through your own connected account, with our application fee deducted at the source. We never see your buyers' card details and never touch the payout.

▸ FREQUENTLY ASKED

Everything you might be wondering.

What happens when my wallet runs out?

You can set an optional spending cap that auto-pauses egress when you hit it — your event keeps recording, viewers get a "stream paused" message, you top up, and you resume in seconds. Without a cap set, the wallet just goes negative until your next top-up. We never hard-cut a live event mid-stream.

Is there a minimum top-up?

$10. Top-up amounts are $10 / $25 / $50 / $100 / $250 / $500 or custom. Your first top-up gets a 20% bonus — top up $10, get $12 in your wallet.

Is there a monthly minimum charge?

Yes — $1/month floor on active accounts. If your actual usage in a given month is below $1, we add a "Monthly Minimum Charge Fee" line item to bring the total to exactly $1. Active subscribers and customers with normal usage never see this line. Dormant accounts with $0 balance and no activity in the past 90 days pay nothing — the wallet just sleeps until you come back.

What's the take rate when I sell paid events?

A sliding 3–5% on whatever your audience pays you through your connected Stripe / Tpay / PayPal account: 5% on Pay-as-you-go, 4% on Creator, 3% on Business, 0% on Enterprise. Subscribers always get a lower rate, so growing into a higher plan literally pays for itself the more you sell.

Can I switch from pay-as-you-go to a subscription later?

Yes — one click in your dashboard. The change takes effect immediately and is prorated for the current billing period. You can switch back the same way.

Do I get charged per attendee, per minute, or per event?

No. Only per gigabyte actually delivered to viewers. The per-viewer or per-minute rates you see in the calculator are derived from GB — they're a friendly framing. The bill itself is GB-based and fully transparent in the live cost meter while your event is running.

What's included in the $5 starting credit?

Approximately 180 viewer-hours of HD broadcast — enough for 2–3 small webinars end-to-end (live or autowebinar), with chat, Q&A, polls, recording. No credit card required to claim it.

What payment methods do you accept?

For wallet top-ups: Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, iDEAL), Tpay (Polish bank transfers, BLIK), PayPal. For your own ticket sales: the same three providers, via Stripe Connect, Tpay split payments, and PayPal Marketplace — your audience pays you directly, we just take the application fee.

Is there a discount for schools or nonprofits?

Yes — accredited schools and registered nonprofits get a 50% reduction on the markup (effectively 2.5× over our raw cost instead of 5×). Email us with proof of status and we apply it to your account manually.

Does my account get its own dedicated CDN edge?

Yes. When you sign up, Castinar provisions a dedicated CDN edge zone just for your account. You get isolated bandwidth analytics, isolated cache invalidation, and your own custom hostname (you can CNAME `webinars.yourbrand.com` to it on Business and Enterprise). It also means your bill is computed from authoritative CDN data, not estimated per-viewer — every gigabyte you pay for is a gigabyte that actually reached your audience.
