Why Cypher Exists

Video hosting shouldn’t get more expensive, or more confusing, as you grow.

Most platforms make video easy at first: upload a file, copy an embed, it works. But once your product gains traction, everything changes: playback multipliers, transcoding fees, storage tiers, and add-ons that should’ve been included.

Suddenly your monthly invoice feels harder to understand than your own codebase. For modern SaaS teams, video infrastructure shouldn’t feel like a separate business model.

It should be:

  • Predictable — flat pricing that scales with you
  • Transparent — no hidden fees, ever
  • Effortless — scale without being punished for growth

Cypher is built to make video hosting simple, smart, and predictable.

Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Powerful video infrastructure without the infrastructure overhead.

Upload & Transcode

Upload once. Cypher handles encoding, adaptive HLS, and optimization for fast global playback.

Customizable Player

Match your brand. Control UI, colors, watermark, and playback behavior.

Advanced Analytics

Understand watch time, drop-offs, viewer engagement, and performance trends.

Global CDN Delivery

Stream from edge servers worldwide with low latency and adaptive bitrate.

How it works

From upload to analytics in three steps

No separate cloud account to wire up.

  1. Upload your video and thumbnail

    Send files through the dashboard or the API. Cypher stores, transcodes and prepares them for streaming.

  2. Play it anywhere with the SDK

    Use your API key and the SDK to embed the supported video player in your app. Add encryption when a video needs protecting.

  3. See where it was watched

    The dashboard shows where each video is streamed, so you can track engagement and performance.

Pricing

Simple. Predictable. Transparent.

Storage stays. Playback minutes reset every billing cycle.
