Custom build vs. SaaS rental

SaaS platforms charge per-subscriber fees and lock you into rigid templates. Here is what changes when you own your platform.

01. Revenue
Platform Commissions
SaaS Rentals
$1.00 to $2.50 per subscriber monthly plus 3% to 5% revenue cut.
Techma Custom
0% platform commission. 100% of SVOD, TVOD, and PPV earnings go directly to your account.
02. Ownership
Code & IP Rights
SaaS Rentals
0% code ownership. Cancel and your platform disappears.
Techma Custom
100% lifetime code ownership. Full source, database, and IP rights remain yours permanently.
03. Flexibility
App Design & Features
SaaS Rentals
Rigid templates. Cannot build custom workflows or recommendation logic.
Techma Custom
Bespoke native apps. Custom UI/UX across Web, Mobile, and Smart TVs with your own business logic.
04. Infrastructure
Hosting & Video CDN
SaaS Rentals
Shared vendor servers. High bandwidth markups and no infrastructure control.
Techma Custom
Private cloud tenancy. Hosted on your own AWS, GCP, or Bunny account at direct cost.
05. Security
DRM & Stream Protection
SaaS Rentals
Basic token links. Easily bypassed, limited anti-piracy options.
Techma Custom
Studio-grade DRM. Apple FairPlay and Google Widevine encryption with forensic watermarking.

Review technical scope, cloud cost breakdown, and deployment milestones with our team.

One codebase. Every screen.

A single shared API backend powers native apps on Web, iOS, Android, and every major Smart TV platform.

Custom web streaming portal

Web Streaming Portal

Next.js 14 with server-side rendering, SEO optimization, hover trailers, and multi-profile switching.

Custom iOS and Android streaming app

iOS & Android Apps

React Native with native video player, offline downloads, push notifications, and in-app purchases.

Custom Smart TV streaming app

Smart TV Apps

Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Samsung Tizen, and LG webOS with D-pad navigation and voice search.

Admin & Video CMS

Full-featured admin dashboard for content management, subscriber analytics, transcoding pipelines, and payment reports.

Content catalog Subscriber reports Revenue dashboard Transcoding jobs

Broadcast-grade video playback

Adaptive HLS streaming built to handle any screen, any connection, any volume of concurrent viewers.

Adaptive Bitrate (ABR)

Automatically switches between 4K, 1080p, 720p, and 480p based on real-time connection speed. Zero buffering.

Multi-DRM Security

Google Widevine, Apple FairPlay, and Microsoft PlayReady encryption. Hardware-level key protection.

Offline Downloads

Encrypted downloads for iOS and Android with configurable 48-hour offline watch windows.

Multi-language Audio

Multiple audio tracks and WebVTT subtitle switching for global regional audiences.

Thumbnail Scrubbing

Auto-generated frame sprite sheets provide preview cards on hover and touch scrub during seeking.

Picture-in-Picture

Native PiP on all platforms. Viewers continue watching while browsing the catalog.

Three layers of content protection

Content is your most valuable asset. We engineer anti-piracy protections that make ripping and redistribution technically impossible.

Layer 1

Studio Multi-DRM

Google Widevine, Apple FairPlay, and Microsoft PlayReady. Hardware-level encryption keys that can only be decoded by authenticated display hardware.

Layer 2

AES-128 + Signed Tokens

Every video segment is uniquely encrypted. Signed HMAC token URLs tied to viewer IP prevent hotlinking and unauthorized playlist access.

Layer 3

Forensic Watermarking

Invisible user ID and timestamp watermarks burned into the stream. Mobile screens go black during screen capture attempts.

How your video reaches every viewer

Self-hosted FFmpeg workers and multi-CDN routing deliver broadcast quality at a fraction of proprietary cloud encoder costs.

01

Source Ingestion

Master files uploaded via resumable chunked S3 storage. Automated codec and integrity validation on arrival.

Tus / S3 Multipart
02

BullMQ Job Queue

Redis-backed queue distributes jobs across worker nodes with automated concurrency balancing and fault recovery.

Redis + BullMQ
03

FFmpeg Transcoding

Generates 4K, 1080p, 720p, and 480p HLS renditions plus thumbnail sprites and WebVTT subtitle tracks.

H.264 / H.265 + AAC
04

Global CDN Delivery

HLS segments deployed to Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, or AWS CloudFront edges with high cache hit ratios worldwide.

Multi-CDN Edge Network

Four ways to earn from content

Mix and match revenue models. Every combination can run simultaneously on your platform.

SVOD — Subscriptions

Monthly and annual plans with multiple tiers, resolution caps, concurrent screen limits, and automatic billing renewals via Stripe or Razorpay.

AVOD — Video Ads

VAST 4.0 and VMAP server-side ad insertion. Connect Google Ad Manager, SpringServe, or direct sponsor deals without platform gatekeeping.

TVOD — Rentals & PPV

One-time video rentals with 48-hour watch windows or permanent digital purchases. Ideal for movies, live events, and sports pay-per-view.

Hybrid — Freemium

Free ad-supported episodes to hook viewers, then a premium ad-free subscription paywall for season finales and 4K HDR master feeds.

Common questions

SaaS platforms lock you into rigid templates, charge per-subscriber commissions, and restrict your feature roadmap. Techma builds bespoke, high-performance streaming solutions with custom video players, localized payment gateways, and self-hosted transcoding infrastructure without per-subscriber platform taxes.
Because our architecture uses self-hosted FFmpeg transcoding and efficient edge caching (BunnyCDN or Cloudflare Stream), baseline server costs start low and scale linearly. Bandwidth costs typically range from $0.005 to $0.01 per GB, saving significantly compared to proprietary cloud encoders.
Yes. We handle the entire compliance, app packaging, privacy policy configuration, and submission lifecycle for Google Play, Apple App Store, and Amazon Appstore. If Apple or Google requests revisions during review, our team handles them until full live status.
Yes. We provide migration scripts to transfer your video catalog, metadata, user accounts, and existing Stripe billing subscriptions without requiring users to re-enter payment details.
We integrate hardware DRM (Google Widevine L1/L3, Apple FairPlay, Microsoft PlayReady). On iOS and Android, we enforce hardware-layer secure window flags that cause screen-recording tools to capture a blank black screen. We also burn forensic watermarks directly into the stream.
Yes. We have pre-built integrations for Razorpay (UPI, Netbanking, Cards), Stripe, Apple In-App Purchases, Google Play Billing, PayPal, and custom wallet balances. You are not locked into US-only processors.
