How to decide which package is best for you
Several factors should guide your decision-making process when determining the most suitable Digital Samba plan for your needs.
Digital Samba Free vs. Paid
Whether opting for the free plan or the enhanced capabilities offered in the paid options, users can expect Digital Samba's commitment to delivering reliable, secure and cutting-edge video conferencing solutions.
But before we discuss the features of each Digital Samba plan in detail, here’s a comparison table to show all our plans side-by-side.
Free plan version
Our free plan is designed to allow you test all features of Digital Samba, for any use case. You can use it to test the waters and, if you use less than 10,000 participation minutes each month and don't mind Digital Samba's logo being displayed, even use it for small live projects.
- Participation minutes: The Digital Samba Free plan provides users with 10,000 participation minutes, allowing ample time for virtual meetings, discussions and collaborative sessions.
- Cloud recordings: Users of the Free plan can receive 60 minutes of monthly cloud recordings. This feature facilitates capturing and revisiting critical moments of the virtual meetings. The maximum recording length for users on the Free plan is limited to 15 minutes per session.
- Collaboration features: The Free plan offers a range of collaboration features, including cloud recordings, group chat, screen share, video/audio muting, waiting room functionality, hand raise feature and many more.
- Branding & UI: For branding and user interface (UI) customisation, the Free plan includes support for video SDK, friendly and vanity URLs, colour branding, virtual backgrounds, favicon and dark mode.
- Security & privacy features: In terms of security and privacy, the Free plan includes transport layer security (TLS), datagram transport layer security encryption (DTLS ), token-based security and anonymised user IDs.
- Pricing: The Digital Samba Free Plan, as the name suggests, is completely free, providing a valuable entry point for individual users seeking basic video conferencing capabilities.
Limitations
While the Free plan offers a full set of features, including end-to-end encryption (E2EE), there are some limitations. Notable exclusions: logo branding, CNAME/white labelling for enhanced customisation, live transcriptions, closed captioning and priority integration support.
Create & Create S plans - 99 Euro
The Create plan is ideal for individuals looking to integrate video call functionality into event platforms or webinar software solutions. With 25,000 participation minutes per month and advanced features like transcriptions, logo and colour branding, roles and permissions, this plan caters to more specific requirements. The Create plan supports 100 concurrent participants and 5 concurrent sessions.
Create S plan, tailored for small meetings, provides the same features as the Create plan, including 25,000 participation minutes, but it also accommodates 40 concurrent participants and supports 20 concurrent sessions. Thus, the Create S and S-group plans are an ideal choice when businesses need to host numerous one-on-one calls within the app at the same time.
Let’s discuss the different features of the Create plans.
- Participation minutes: The Create plan substantially increases participation minutes, providing users with 25,000 minutes. Additionally, users can acquire extra participation minutes at a rate of €0.004/minute.

Digital Samba applies charges for cumulative recording minutes at the end of the billing cycle, with a rate of €0.013/minute. Also, the charge for cloud storage/minute is €0.003. Users can download and remove recordings before the billing period concludes to manage costs.
- Collaboration features: Building upon the Free plan's features, the Create plans also offer roles & permissions and transcriptions (captions). Pricing for captions is €0.023 per minute. This array of collaboration tools enhances the overall experience and supports diverse communication needs.
- Branding & UI: The Create plans allow for extensive branding and UI customisation, featuring all Free plan features, logo branding and the option to remove the Digital Samba badge.
- Security & privacy features: Regarding video conferencing security and privacy, the Create plans include token-based security, TLS/DTLS encryption, and anonymised user IDs.
- Pricing: The Digital Samba Create Plans are available at a monthly subscription fee of €99, offering an enhanced set of features and increased participation minutes compared to the Free plan.
