Pricing & Licensing
What is a Processing Unit (PU)?
Processing Units (PUs) are the credits that power all computational activity on the VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System. Every time the platform processes content, whether encoding a video, running AI transcription, detecting objects, or generating visual descriptions, PUs are consumed from your monthly balance. Think of them as a shared fuel tank that covers all AI and processing workloads in one place. Action PU Consumption Transcription & Translation 10 PU / hr PII Detection 30 PU / hr Object Detection 60 PU / hr OCR 60 PU / hr Visual Description 120 PU / hr Video Redaction 430 PU / hr Audio Redaction 148 PU / hr Standard Audio AI 50 PU / hr Standard Video AI 100 PU / hr Video Content Processing 20 PU / hr Audio Content Processing 5 PU / hr Document Content Processing 0.0111 PU / page Image Content Processing 0.0111 PU / image Document PII Detection 0.0167 PU / page Document Object Detection 0.0333 PU / page Document OCR 0.0333 PU / page Document Redaction 0.2389 PU / page
What is a Processing Unit (PU)?
Processing Units (PUs) are the credits that power everything on the VIDIZMO Redactor platform. Every action that involves computation, including encoding, transcoding, AI transcription, translation, AI-based detections, and redaction, consumes PUs. Think of them as a shared fuel tank for all platform activity. Content Type PU Consumption Video Redaction ~240 PU / hr Audio Redaction ~65 PU / hr Document Redaction ~1 PU / 10 pages
What's the difference between a Named User and a Viewer?
A Named User is a licensed account holder with full platform access. They can upload evidence, manage cases, run AI workflows, annotate content, and administer the system. A Viewer is someone a Named User shares specific content with for a defined period of time. Viewers can only access the files explicitly shared with them and only for as long as that share is active. They cannot browse the platform, upload content, or manage cases. All DEMS plans include unlimited Viewers at no extra cost.
What happens if I run out of Processing Units or Storage?
No interruption to your account. You can purchase additional Processing Units or Storage at any time during your active subscription by reaching out to our sales team. Top-ups are applied to your account promptly.
What happens if I run out of Processing Units or Storage?
Your account remains active and your existing content stays fully accessible. If you exhaust your monthly Processing Units or reach your Storage limit, you can purchase additional capacity at any time by contacting the VIDIZMO sales team. Top-ups are applied to your account promptly so you can resume processing without delay.
Can I add more users to my plan?
Yes. Additional named user licenses can be added to any plan at any time. Contact our team and we'll provision the extra seats under your existing subscription.
What's the difference between Standard, Professional, and Premium?
All three plans include the full core DEMS feature set, including unlimited cases, secure evidence sharing, audit trails, tamper verification, multi-stream playback, and SSO/MFA. The plans differ in what AI capabilities are unlocked and how much processing capacity is included. Standard covers the essentials for evidence management. Professional adds AI transcription, translation, and cloud ingestion tools for teams that need to search and analyze content at scale. Premium adds AI-powered redaction built directly into the platform, so you can manage, analyze, and redact evidence all in one place without switching tools.
All plans show the same features. What am I actually upgrading for?
Every Redactor plan includes the full feature set. The difference between plans is purely volume. Higher plans give you more Processing Units per month (your redaction capacity) and more Storage. If you're redacting more hours of video, audio, or more document pages per month, you simply move up a tier.
The Premium plan mentions a separate redaction capacity. How does that work?
All processing on digital evidence management system draws from a single shared PU balance. Because redaction is significantly more compute-intensive than standard processing, the Premium plan is sized to support both general content processing and a meaningful redaction workload within that balance. The plan's listed capacity, 2 hours of video redaction, 6 hours of audio redaction, or 4,000 document pages, reflects what you can expect to redact per month alongside your regular platform usage.
What does auto-renewal mean and can I cancel?
Your plan renews automatically at the end of each billing period so your work is never interrupted. You can cancel at any time before your renewal date to stop the next charge. Annual plans are non-refundable. No grace period applies once the billing cycle begins.
Can I add more Named Users to my plan?
Yes. Additional Named User licenses can be added to any DEMS plan at any time. Simply contact the VIDIZMO sales team and the new seats will be provisioned under your existing subscription without requiring a plan change or a new contract.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every Redactor plan comes with a 7-day free trial. No credit card required. You get full platform access to test redaction on your own content before committing to a plan.
Can I upgrade my plan mid-subscription?
Yes. You can upgrade from Standard to Professional or Premium at any time during your subscription. The additional cost is prorated for the remaining days in your current billing cycle, so you only pay for what you use. Downgrades take effect at your next renewal date.
What does auto-renewal mean and can I cancel?
Your digital evidence management system subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period to ensure uninterrupted access to your cases and evidence. You can cancel at any time before your renewal date to prevent the next charge. Annual plans are non-refundable. Once a billing cycle begins, no partial refunds or credits are issued.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can start a 7-day free trial on any DEMS plan with no credit card required. You'll have full access to the platform so you can upload real evidence, test AI workflows, and evaluate the system against your agency's needs before making a commitment.
