FilmRelay pricing: start free, pay when you send more
Start with one film, free. When you need more films, more minutes or a team, pick the plan that matches what you send.
Free plan. No credit card required.
Choose by what you need to do
Every plan includes the same professional tools. The plans differ in capacity: how many films, how many minutes and how many people on your team. So the first choice is what you want to do.
Share a film’s materials: Materials
You want a professional film page with posters, stills, press kits and trailers, instead of a shared cloud folder.
Send private screeners: Screeners
You send your film to festivals, buyers or press and want to control who watches it and see what they did.
Do both: Bundle
You want the film page and the screener for the same film at a lower combined price. It’s the best value if you need both.

What every plan includes
Screeners plans
- Controlled viewing links with passwords, expiry dates and individual revocation, so you decide who can watch each screener and for how long
- Viewer watermarking
- 4K master storage: FilmRelay keeps the original file for downloads and prepares optimised versions for viewing
- 1080p adaptive streaming for reliable playback on different devices and connections
- Granular viewing analytics: individual sessions, access times, location and viewing behaviour, beyond a view count
- Professional download links for original-quality files, set up for specific recipients, purposes or campaigns, with detailed download activity
- Viewing and download workflows kept separate, so each recipient can watch, download or both
Materials plans
- One page per film, with posters, stills, press kits, trailers and other promotional assets together
- A dedicated public materials page you control, with only the assets you choose to publish
What counts toward your plan
Two numbers decide whether a Screeners plan fits you: how much video you keep and how much your recipients watch.
Stored video minutes
The total length of the films you keep in your workspace. A 90 minute feature uses 90 stored minutes, and a 12 minute short uses 12.
Playback minutes
The minutes your recipients spend watching your films in a month. If ten programmers each watch a 90 minute feature from start to finish, that’s 900 playback minutes. The count starts again each month.
Films with active Materials
Materials plans count films, not minutes. The Filmmaker plan covers 3 films with a public page, Team covers 15 and Distributor covers 50.
Which plan fits you?
One short film
You have a 12 minute short and you’re sending it to festivals. Start on the free plan: one film with Materials, 100 stored minutes and 125 playback minutes a month.
A feature on the festival circuit
A 90 minute feature fits in the 100 stored minutes of the free plan, but the playback runs out fast: ten programmers who watch it in full use 900 minutes. Filmmaker Screeners gives you 300 stored minutes and 4,000 playback minutes for $12, €10 or £9 a month. Add Materials in the Filmmaker Bundle ($15, €13 or £12) if you want the press kit page too.
A production team with several titles
A team with twelve features is storing roughly 1,100 minutes. Team Screeners covers that, with 1,500 stored minutes, 20,000 playback minutes and 3 workspace members, for $59, €49 or £43 a month.
A distributor with a slate
A slate of twenty features is about 1,800 stored minutes, which is more than the Team plan keeps. Distributor Screeners gives you 5,000 stored minutes, 60,000 playback minutes and 10 workspace members for $175, €149 or £129 a month. Choose the Bundle if the slate also needs a film page for each title.
A press campaign
A publicist who sends three features to forty journalists needs about 270 stored minutes. If every journalist watched every film in full, that’s 10,800 playback minutes in a month, so Team Screeners fits. Fewer viewers or shorter films can fit in the Filmmaker plan.
What ten festival screeners cost
Say you send one film to ten festivals, with one link each.
- A 12 minute short: even if every programmer watches it in full, that’s 120 playback minutes. It fits in the free plan, so it costs nothing.
- A 90 minute feature: ten full viewings are 900 playback minutes. That needs Filmmaker Screeners, from $12, €10 or £9 a month.
You don’t pay by the screener or by the gigabyte. You pay for the plan that covers your minutes.
The free plan
One film with Materials, 100 stored video minutes and 125 playback minutes a month. Watermarking and viewing analytics are included. You don’t need a credit card.
Upgrade when you need a second film, when your recipients watch more than the free minutes allow, or when you add teammates.
Upgrades, downgrades and cancellation
An upgrade takes effect immediately. If you upgrade during a billing period, you pay only the prorated difference for the rest of that period, not a second full month, and your films, materials, screeners and links stay available.
A downgrade takes effect at the end of your billing period, and until then you keep your current plan and its limits. FilmRelay blocks a downgrade when your usage is over the new plan’s limits, so you may need to remove members, reduce the films with Materials or delete stored screeners first.
If you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of the period you’ve already paid for. After that, paid services are disabled and their stored content is scheduled for removal, so download what you want to keep before then.
You can cancel a scheduled downgrade or cancellation before it takes effect.
How FilmRelay compares on price
Many screening platforms ask you to book a demo before they tell you what a plan costs. FilmRelay publishes every price on this page, and you can start without talking to anyone.
Pricing questions
What's the difference between Materials, Screeners and the Bundle?
Materials gives each film a public page with its posters, stills, press kits and trailers. Screeners gives you private viewing links with a password, expiry and watermark, plus viewing analytics. The Bundle includes both at a lower combined price.
What is a playback minute?
One minute of your film watched by a recipient. Your monthly allowance is the total across all your recipients and all your films.
Do all plans have the same features?
Yes. Filmmaker, Team and Distributor plans include the same professional tools. They differ only in capacity.
Is custom branding included?
Yes. You add your logo and set your own public workspace address, so your pages look like yours.
How many people can work in the same workspace?
The Filmmaker plan includes 1 workspace member, Team includes 3 and Distributor includes 10.
Can I see the prices in my own currency?
Yes. Switch between USD, EUR and GBP on the pricing page. When you go to checkout you choose your billing currency, and it applies to all your FilmRelay subscriptions.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. Download your files before then, because paid services are disabled afterwards.
What happens if I upgrade in the middle of the month?
The upgrade is immediate and you pay only the prorated difference for the rest of the billing period.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The free plan doesn't ask for one.
Start with one film, free
Upload your film, add its materials and send your first screener. Upgrade when you outgrow the free plan.
