Overview
RTC-Engine Packages
To provide you with better services, starting from March 07, 2023 (UTC+8), RTC-Engine will offer new monthly subscription plans (Free, Standard, and Pro packages). You can use the packages to unlock different features for different TRTC applications. For details, see Package Features.
You can purchase different packages for your TRTC applications based on your needs.
The Standard and Pro packages come with bonus 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:
From now until December 31, 2024, the Audio/Video call time gifted with the paid subscription of the RTC-Engine Packages will temporarily lift the restriction of being only limited to the current purchase of the application (SDKAppID) for deduction. It can be used to deduct the usage time generated by all TRTC applications (SDKAppID) under the current account.
Billing Overview
You must purchase a package before it can be used for deduction.
The validity period of a package is from the day of purchase to the same day the following month. For example, a package purchased on March 1, 2023 is valid 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 > Edition information > Enable auto-renewal).

Hoping to use the AI noise suppression feature (available in RTC-Engine Standard and Pro), a user bought a Pro package on March 1, 2023. This is the first time the user purchased a monthly package, and auto-renewal was enabled.
In this case:
1. The user would need to pay 1,499 USD when purchasing the first package.
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.
Must-Knows
The Standard and Pro packages come with bonus minutes that can be used to deduct audio/video call usage. For the deduction ratios, see Bonus Minutes. After you use up your package, the additional usage will be charged at pay-as-you-go rates. For details, see Billing of TRTC Basic Service.
Newly created applications will be subscribed to your Free package, which enables basic features including audio/video calls, on-cloud recording, and On-Cloud MixTranscoding.
The Free package will be renewed automatically when it expires, and your TRTC account will be offered 10,000 free minutes every month. Subscribing to a Free package will not incur any fees.
If your monthly usage exceeds 10,000 minutes, TRTC services will be suspended for your account. You can upgrade to a Standard or Pro package to continue to use TRTC. You can also submit a ticket to get support from our team.
Each application can be subscribed to only one package edition at a time.
For example, if the application Application test_trtc is already using a TRTC Standard package, you cannot upgrade it to TRTC Pro before the package expires. If you do want to change the package edition an application is subscribed to, please submit a ticket.
