Circle FAQ

What is the difference between Cloud and Self-Hosted solutions?+

Cloud solutions are managed deployments on public clouds with automatic scaling, while Self-Hosted lets you run Ant Media Server on your own infrastructure for full control.

Are there any connection or viewer limits?+

No fixed limits are imposed; capacity depends on your infrastructure and server configuration.

Can I upgrade my plan later?+

Yes, you can upgrade to a higher subscription or license tier at any time as your streaming needs grow.

Does the free trial include infrastructure costs?+

No, the trial covers only the Ant Media Server license; compute, storage, and bandwidth are billed separately by the cloud provider.
