About
Tencent RTC is a real-time communications platform that provides APIs and SDKs for voice, video, chat, live streaming, and related RTC features. The product page lists Call, Room, Live, Chat, Push, RTC Engine, In-game Voice Chat, and Beauty AR, along with developer documentation, demos, and UI kits for building cross-platform communication apps.
The pricing page shows a Starter Plan for Call, Room, Live, RTC Engine, and Beauty AR Web. Each starter plan includes 50,000 package minutes, complete UI for the calling, meeting, and live products, and 1-to-1 technical support; the page also states that pay-as-you-go is supported and that the starter plan is available to all users for the first month at a discounted price. The page separately states that every developer receives 10,000 free minutes every month for a whole year.

Free Tier Value
This free tier gives 10,000 minutes every month for a full year, which is a meaningful but capped allowance rather than an unlimited plan. Compared with the cheapest Starter Plan at $9.90/month for 50,000 minutes, the free offer is about 20% of that package value, so it lands around $13/month in practical value; no credit card is mentioned for getting started.
