Why you want Mux over Cloudflare Stream

Cloudflare might be a good CDN, but they don't do video like us. Don't settle on a subpar video experience for your users.

Our only focus is providing world-class video infrastructure

We’re not interested in solving all the infrastructure problems on the internet. We’re a video company — period.

Our team is made up of the industry’s top experts here to help solve the hard parts of online video. By only focusing on video, our products are able to meet the needs of even the most complex video integrations — from 4K to DRM.

10x faster video publishing than Cloudflare Stream

Mux’s JIT encoding speed blows anything else out of the water. ¾ of all videos uploaded to Mux are ready to play in 5 seconds or less.

Pair that speed with our open-source SDKs, comprehensive docs, and integration examples, and you’ll be up and running faster than you thought possible (and measurably faster than what you’d experience elsewhere).

Transparent pricing, not hidden costs

Cloudflare charges by the minute; we charge by the second. No round-ups here. And, you’ll never get a surprise bill from us.

Between our billing usage APIs and self-serve billing dashboard, you’ll know exactly what your bill is going to look like each month — and, your bill only grows when your business does. Want to know how much we'll charge? See our pricing calculator.

A developer support team you can trust

Other services hand you off to a new support person with every ticket that could take days to respond.

With our 95%+ satisfaction scores and less-than-a-day average time to response, we make sure to get your questions answered fast so you can get back to focusing on your business. Get ahold of us

Here's what some of our happy customers are saying

I’ve been so busy fixing video processing/rendering issues, I haven’t used my own product much. Now, it’s all fixed thanks to @MuxHQ so I can focus on other things.

We researched, candidly, every single option. Mux kept coming up as the number one ease of integration was amazing that it's just a couple of lines of code and "boom".

Having the opportunity to use @MuxHQ for a new project and I must say the experience is so lovely. Extremely readable documentation, sensible API design, customization without over-complexity.

Ran our first live stream via @MuxHQ today after some horrible experiences with a well known alternative who shall remain nameless. Super simple, reliable and looked great!
