FAQ
Common questions
- How does AI Cost Optimizer billing work?
- Nothing upfront. We preprocess your media before it reaches OpenAI or Anthropic, reducing the token count. At the end of each month, we invoice 20% of the dollar savings generated. If we save you nothing, you pay nothing. Search Growth and Scale customers get a discounted 15% rate.
- What is the difference between Match API and Search Platform?
- Match API (1-to-1) compares two media files on demand — stateless, no library required. Search Platform (1-to-N) indexes your entire media library and searches one clip against millions in real time. They serve different use cases and are priced differently.
- What does Search Platform pricing include?
- Each plan bundles indexed media capacity (images by count, audio and video by hours) and monthly Search Processing into one fixed price. Managed onboarding is included — we provision your account and infrastructure within 24 hours.
- Can I use Search for just images, audio, or video?
- Yes. Contact us with your media types and workload — we'll configure a plan for the combination you need. You only pay for the modules you activate.
- Does MediaLayer store my media files?
- No. We store fingerprints only — compact mathematical representations of your media. Source files are downloaded during ingest and immediately discarded. We never retain your original content.
- Can Search run in a private or VPC deployment?
- Yes, for Enterprise accounts. We support hosted (managed by us), VPC (your cloud, our stack), and on-prem deployments. Deployment preference is scoped during onboarding.
