Visit Red5 Pro

Red5 Pro is a suite of streaming infrastructure and developer tools for building live video applications with low latency. It combines open-source software, proprietary products, and SDKs supporting WebRTC, RTSP, SRT, RTMP, WHIP, WHEP, and Zixi protocols, deployable on-premises or in cloud environments.

The product line includes Red5 Cloud, a fully managed PaaS; Red5 Pro, self-hosted server software; developer SDKs for Web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, Unreal Engine, and Unity; open-source tools including the Red5 media server and Load Testing Tools; and a mobile broadcasting app. Professional services cover support, consulting, training, and custom development.

Red5 Pro is packaged as a self-hosted license with plans for Developer, Startup, Growth, and Enterprise tiers, plus a separate Mobile SDK offering. Pricing is based on license tier and the number of instances running, not on streaming minutes, viewers, or bandwidth. A free tier and a 30-day trial are available, and hosting costs are paid separately to the chosen cloud provider.
