  "what": "End-to-end video: upload or push RTMP, Cloudflare encodes to adaptive bitrate, stores it and delivers over its own network with a bundled player. Pricing ignores file size and resolution entirely — you are billed on minutes stored and minutes watched.",
  "why": "Resolution-independent pricing is the differentiator: a 4K upload costs the same per minute as 720p, unlike Mux. Ingest and encoding are free, so re-uploading or re-encoding a back catalog carries no processing charge.",
  "warn": "No free tier at all, and storage is prepaid in $5 blocks of 1,000 minutes. The bundled player and signed-URL scheme are Cloudflare-specific, so moving off means re-embedding every video.",
