Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to launch an OTT platform?

Costs vary widely. A Roku-only on-demand launch with standard branding may fit a self-guided product purchase or Done-for-You setup at $1,497. Projects that need other platforms, live channels, EPG, advertising, in-app purchases, or custom interfaces typically require Rovidx custom development in a preliminary $5,000–$40,000 range. Ongoing hosting, delivery, and app-store fees are separate.

How much does MediaBlaster DIY cost?

Choose a currently published product or MediaBlaster Pro. Pro is a yearly subscription for all products, updates, and Premium Support while subscribed. Check the store for current prices, product availability, and requirements; the Roku Launch Kit is retired. It does not include video hosting, WordPress hosting, content production, Roku developer account fees, custom development, or guaranteed Roku Store approval.

What is included in the Done-for-You service?

The $1,497 Done-for-You service installs and configures MediaBlaster in an existing WordPress site, adds up to 10 content items, builds and configures the standard Roku app, and helps prepare and submit the application for Roku Store review. Final approval is controlled by Roku. It does not include building a complete new website, hosting subscription fees, content beyond the first 10 items unless separately quoted, custom layouts, non-Roku apps, live streaming, or advanced monetization.

Does MediaBlaster support Fire TV or Apple TV?

MediaBlaster currently provides a standard Roku application foundation. Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, mobile apps, Samsung/LG, and web apps require Rovidx custom development. Additional app templates are planned and are not available as standard packages yet.

Does MediaBlaster support live channels or EPG?

No. The standard Roku workflow focuses on video on demand. Live events, 24/7 live channels, and scheduled channels with an EPG require custom development.

Are video hosting costs included?

No. Video hosting, storage, and delivery are separate ongoing costs. The calculator can flag hosting as a prerequisite and point you to the video hosting cost calculator, but it does not invent a hosting price.

Is this a binding quote?

No. Results are preliminary estimates with clear assumptions, valid for planning for 30 days. Custom ranges are not proposals or guaranteed final prices. A technical review is required before custom work begins.

Do I have to join the email list to receive my estimate?

No. We email your requested estimate either way. Marketing email is optional and asked on a separate step. You can unsubscribe from marketing at any time.
