Hello, I’m struggling to understand the total pricing for the Video SDK recording module. While the Video SDK pricing seems straightforward, I require guidance on the pricing specifics for the following estimated usage: - Roughly 5000 sessions per month - Each session lasting about 30 minutes - Each session hosting 3 users in total Could someone assist me in clarifying the pricing for the recording feature as per the above criteria using Video SDK? Thank you. ---

Where can I find an outline of Zoom’s Video SDK pricing including the recording costs? ---

Pricing for the Video SDK is available here - [Plans & Pricing for Developer | Zoom - Zoom](https://zoom.us/pricing/developer) Cloud recording is available with Universal Credit plans at $0.01/min, and to Pay-as-you-go plans at $0.015/min. ---

@rohit_zoom with your numbers, 5000 sessions of 30min duration each would be (roughly) $15.00/month. Some features, like Gallery View, would use additional recording minutes if multiple files are created. ---

Currently (July 2025), these replies are only partially accurate. After several conversations with Zoom support, I found that the Video SDK Pay As You Go (PAYG) plan requires the “Zoom Video SDK Recording” add-on to use cloud recording. This add-on costs $100/month and you can sign up at the bottom of the [Developer Pricing](https://zoom.us/pricing/developer) page. The sign-up page says you get 30000 recording minutes free, with overages costing $0.015 per recording minute, as well as 1 TB of free storage. The Video SDK Universal Credit plan allows you to use cloud recording right away, with the minutes/storage billed against your credits. However, unlike the PAYG plan, there is no free usage tier so estimate costs carefully.
