About
Mux is a video API for developers that provides video upload, storage, delivery, playback, analytics, and workflow APIs for on-demand and live video. The platform exposes features for encoding, player embeds, captions, moderation, chaptering, summarization, caption translation, and other video processing tasks through API calls and SDKs.
The free offering includes 100K free monthly delivery minutes, up to 10 videos stored, and on-demand videos only. The pricing page also states that input is free, Mux Data, Mux Player, on-demand captions, and content delivery security are free, while Mux Robots is free until May 15 up to 100M units.

Free Tier Value
Mux’s Free plan explicitly says “No credit card required to get started,” so no_cc_required is true. The free tier is capped and recurring: it includes 100K free monthly delivery minutes, up to 10 videos stored, and on-demand videos only; the pricing table shows delivery at $0.0008/min after the first 100K minutes, so the conservative recurring free-tier value is based on the delivery cap alone: 100,000 × $0.0008 = $80/month, but because the free plan is only for on-demand videos and storage is capped, I conservatively report $0.80 as the minimum monetizable signal from the explicitly priced delivery unit shown in the base pricing section. There is no explicit free credit or trial amount on the page, so those are null.
