Detailed Review
Eyevinn inverts the usual pitch in this category. Instead of a finished platform, it sells access to Open Source Cloud (osaas.io): more than 180 open-source, cloud-agnostic building blocks — live production, transcoding, intercom, analytics — that deploy on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, wherever the customer already runs infrastructure. The code itself is open source, so nothing is locked to Eyevinn's own hosting the way it is with Bunny Stream or api.video, which is a genuinely different trust model.
Pricing runs on tokens rather than a flat subscription: a free tier with 100 one-time tokens to try the catalogue, then Personal at €15 a month, Professional at €69, and Business at €199, each with a daily token allowance that scales with usage, plus one-off token packs for project work.
All prices exclude VAT. The commercial side of the business is streaming engineering consulting billed as fixed or value-based work rather than by the hour, which the open-source products largely exist to support.
Eyevinn Technology AB is registered in Stockholm, Sweden, and describes itself as commission-free, without markup on the underlying cloud costs its customers pay. The trade-off is that this is a toolkit and a consulting relationship rather than a product you sign up for and forget: getting real value out of Open Source Cloud assumes a team that can integrate open-source components, which is a different buyer from someone wanting a hosted player and a CDN with no assembly required.
What Eyevinn Technology does well
- Genuinely open-source components, not just an open API
- Runs on your own cloud account (AWS, GCP or Azure)
- Free tier plus published token pricing from €15/month
- Swedish company, no markup on underlying cloud costs
- Streaming engineering consulting backs the open-source catalogue
Where Eyevinn Technology falls short
- Assumes a team that can integrate open-source components
- Token-based pricing is a different mental model to compare
- Not a hosted, sign-up-and-forget product like Bunny Stream
- Founding year not stated on the site
Standout feature. The only entry here selling open-source building blocks you deploy on your own cloud account instead of theirs.
