⚠️ The Hidden Cost Problem

Wistia's Plus plan includes 200GB bandwidth per month. Overage runs $0.25 per extra GB.

Real scenario: 500 students × 10-hour course × 2GB average = 10TB delivered

Overage cost: (10,000GB - 200GB) × $0.25 = $2,450/month extra

This is why "unlimited bandwidth" isn't just marketing—it's essential for scaling courses.

WHY CASTIZ FOR COURSE CREATORS

Built for Course Success

Unlimited Bandwidth on All Paid Plans

Your costs don't increase when enrollment does. A course with 50 students costs the same to deliver as one with 5,000.

For most course creators, domain restrictions + password protection stops 95% of casual piracy. Full DRM adds complexity and cost—worth it for $500+ courses, overkill for most.
