Cleeng: features, pricing and who it fits
Cleeng is a subscription billing and entitlement layer, not a video host, so it is paired with a separate video platform. Pro is free up to 10,000 managed subscribers, then $0.39 each. ChurnIQ adds retention reporting, and Core can connect an external identity provider.

What vendors in this category ask before quoting
Answer these once in a SaaSBid request and Cleeng and its alternatives quote against the same facts.
- How many subscribers and monthly viewing hours do you expect in year one?Bandwidth and per-subscriber fees drive the quote, and overage rates differ.
- Which devices must your apps cover at launch?Connected TV apps are often priced per app or locked to an enterprise plan.
- Do you sell subscriptions, single purchases, ads or a mix?The monetization model decides which plan tier and billing layer you need.
- Is your content licensed, and does the licensor require DRM?DRM requirements can move you to a higher plan or a different vendor.
- Do you stream live events, and how many hours per month?Live is metered or sold separately by many providers.
- How many hours of video must be migrated, and by what date should you launch?Library size and deadline determine onboarding scope and any project fees.
