Hi,  
I just got the email about the new pricing.  
So I checked the table at [https://www.wowza.com/pricing/streaming-cloud-plans](https://www.wowza.com/pricing/streaming-cloud-plans) but did not find exactly what I was looking for.

We are on the Pay-as-you-go plan.

Currently we operate most of out streams in Passthrough mode, which costs us 0.15 dollar per hour for the server, while transcoding was 6.  
Now in the table I only see a mention of “Price per live streaming hour beyond plan limit” at 7 dollars. Does this mean that Passthrough is not an option anymore, and everything will be 7 dollars an hour?

That would mean a gigantic increase in costs for us. I did a simulation with that, and our bill would almost quadruple!

So what is the correct info?

Thanks

Hi @Steven_Reekmans, I honstly don’t know the answer to this. We don’t address any the pricing or billing questions in the forums, only technical inquiries, but you could certainly email the sales rep for your account at [sales@wowza.com](mailto:sales@wowza.com) or even contact customer support which is [customerservice@wowza.com](mailto:customerservice@wowza.com)
