FAQ

What does early access mean?

VLC.js isn't generally available yet. Joining the list means we'll talk with you about your use case, contact you as builds become available, and let you shape what ships first. It doesn't commit you to anything.

How much will it cost?

Commercial licenses start from $700 per year. The final price is confirmed at launch, and people on the early access list hear about launch pricing first.

When will it be available?

There's no public date yet. Demand from this list decides what we build first, so tell us your timeline in the form.

Can we get it sooner, or fund specific features?

Yes. If you need it on a deadline or need specific features, we can build it with you as a funded project. See our services or email us.
