RTC-Engine Monthly Packages
To provide you with better services, starting from March 07, 2023 (UTC+8), RTC-Engine will offer new monthly subscription plans (Free, Lite,Standard, and Pro packages). You can use the packages to unlock different features for different TRTC applications. For details, see Edition Features and Pricing.
You can purchase different packages for your TRTC applications based on your needs.
The Standard and Pro packages come with package minutes that can be used to deduct audio/video call usage. Please note that even after you buy packages, you may still incur pay-as-you-go fees if the packages are exhausted or if they cannot deduct the type of usage that occurred.
RTC-Engine Packages Limited-time Promotion:
Effective immediately until December 31, 2024, the audio and video duration included with paid subscription monthly packages will temporarily have the restriction lifted that limits usage to only the currently purchased application (SDKAppID). It can now be applied towards offsetting the audio and video call duration usage across all real-time audio and video applications (SDKAppID) under the current account.
Billing Overview
You must purchase a package before it can be used for deduction.
The validity period of the monthly subscription package spans from the date of purchase to the same date in the following month. For instance, if purchased on March 1, 2023, its effective duration would be from March 1, 2023, to April 1, 2023.
Each package can be used for only one TRTC application (
SDKAppID). If you want to use TRTC capabilities in more than one application, you need to buy multiple packages.When a package expires, the features unlocked by the package will become unavailable for the corresponding application, and the application will be reverted back to the Free package. To ensure you can continue using the features of your purchased package, we recommend you enable auto-renewal in the TRTC console (Application Management > Application Info > Enable auto-renewal).

2. On April 2, 2023, auto-renewal would be triggered, and 1,499 USD would be automatically deducted from the user’s account balance. A new Pro package would be automatically issued to the user’s account.
