White Label Live Streaming App Cost: $4,299, Fixed
Buying the platform underneath the live streaming clones costs $4,299, paid once, with deployment in six working days. The price covers the whole monorepo: the NestJS backend, the 44-route web app, the 15-route operator panel and the Expo mobile build. It does not cover the pre-launch list the build's own documentation names. That list sits on this page in full, and not in small print.

The routes a buyer usually weighs, and what each asks of you in money, calendar time and ownership.
| Route | Typical cost | What you end up with |
|---|---|---|
| Rented or hosted platform | A recurring fee, set by the provider | A running service, often with hosting and licensing folded into the fee. Because the price repeats, compare it with a one-time cost over the years you expect to operate, and read what happens to your hosts if you stop paying. |
| One-time script | Under $10 to about $600 on code marketplaces; roughly $250 to $1,500 from script vendors | Code you can deploy, though cheaper tiers often ship web-view apps instead of native ones and some vendors withhold the source from every published tier. |
| Custom build | $12,000 - $50,000 with a freelance team; $80,000 - $300,000 with an agency | Something made to order, with a schedule counted in quarters. The wallet and the agency layer are the parts that tend to exhaust the budget first. |
| Miracuves platform | $4,299 fixed | The finished platform underneath the clones, the full monorepo included, deployed in six working days on infrastructure you control. |
The market ranges are observations for comparable scope, not quotes from us, and a subscription can bundle costs a script leaves to you. This page compares a one-time software price with a recurring fee. It does not claim our route costs less in total. Our figure is the highlighted row, and it does not change after scoping.
What You Receive for the Price
A deployable platform: application source, the schema beneath it and the documents a technical buyer will want to read.
Ownership transfers completely. There is no runtime licence, no per-seat charge and no dependence on what we choose to build next.
What Sits Outside the Fixed Price
The base price does not move. These are the items that lie beyond it, and they are why this page runs longer than most pricing pages.
Pre-launch hardening
Ten immediate items are listed in the documentation: demo credentials, the global guard, role alignment, admin cookies, secret rotation, HTTPS, upload limits and password hashing. With member balances and host payouts on the line, this is the first job to schedule.
Automated tests
The build has no test files at all today. A unit, integration and end-to-end suite is scoped work, with a testing roadmap already in the documentation. Set money aside for it before real viewers arrive.
Mobile parity
The Expo app handles the core viewer and host flows and is graded a stub. Matching the 44-route web client is the most frequent request, and where phones are your main surface it cannot be skipped.
Observability
Nothing provides structured logging, APM, metrics or alerting. Live rooms break in real time, so this layer is what turns an outage from a guessing game into a diagnosis.
Migration history
The schema goes in by direct push, which is unsafe once production data exists. A migration history is small, early work, and it costs much less before your first user than after.
Running on several servers
Multi-instance running needs the Socket.IO Redis adapter, which is not installed, plus connection pooling and clustering. Live concurrency reaches the single-server ceiling sooner than most products do.
Each item is scoped and quoted before it starts. They are listed here because a $4,299 platform with an unpriced pre-launch list would not really be a $4,299 platform.
From Signature to Live in Six Days
The working days in sequence, and what gets done on each.
Market, supply and split
We agree the market you are entering, where your first hosts will come from, whether agencies are involved and how the platform, agency and host shares should divide. A broadcasting product without hosts is an empty room, so supply is settled before software.
Your brand on all three surfaces
Name, logo, colors and splash go onto the web app, the operator panel and the Expo build, together with gift artwork and the thirteen legal and policy pages that a platform like this needs on its first day.
Install and connect your accounts
The monorepo and its PostgreSQL 16 database are installed on your servers. Agora, Stripe, Twilio, Firebase Cloud Messaging, SMTP and MinIO are wired in with credentials you hold, since each of those accounts should belong to you and not sit with us.
Wallet, splits and catalogues
All four currencies are configured, the three-way split is set with any room-type or regional overrides, gift prices are entered, VIP tiers defined, the withdrawal fee and approval rules set, and the game catalogue switched on as far as your launch needs.
Walkthrough and handover
Staff get accounts with suitable roles. Then we take a host application through approval, send a gift and trace its split, and approve a withdrawal, so the money path is understood before it carries anyone's earnings. The monorepo is placed in your repository.
The hardening window
You get sixty days of guidance, six months of priority bug fixes and twelve months of updates. For this platform we advise placing the hardening, migrations and observability work inside that period, and not leaving them for someday.
Six working days describes deployment. It is not a certificate of production readiness, and the pre-launch list above proceeds on its own schedule.
Regional Development Rates
We do not publish a dollar figure for a from-scratch build, because the honest measure is time: an eighteen to thirty month programme with a senior team. Here are the rates that let you size that yourself.
| Region | Senior engineer, blended hourly | What an 18-30 month programme implies |
|---|---|---|
| North America | $120 - $220 | The high end of any build-versus-buy comparison, and the reason most operators in this bracket buy |
| Western Europe | $90 - $170 | Comparable to North America once employer costs and notice periods are included |
| Gulf and Middle East | $60 - $130 | Often the market being sold into, which makes local hiring attractive and the timeline no shorter |
| Eastern Europe | $45 - $95 | The common outsourcing choice, where the risk shifts from cost to specification quality |
| Latin America | $40 - $85 | Time-zone overlap with North America is the usual reason, not the rate |
| South and Southeast Asia | $25 - $60 | The lowest rate, and the one where real-time streaming and virtual-economy experience varies most between teams |
Why we hand you the rate and not a total
A total for building this yourself hinges on how large your team is, where it sits, and how much of the wallet and split logic gets designed correctly at the start rather than rebuilt after the first payout dispute. One headline number would be four guesses dressed as a finding. The rate and the duration let you assemble the estimate from inputs you control.
Rates are indicative blended figures for real-time platform engineering, not quotes. They are here so you can do the sums yourself and not take ours on trust.
Why the Price Is Fixed, Not "Starting At"
What a set number obliges us to do
The demo defines the scope. What you can click through on the three surfaces is what arrives. No discovery stage exists that could reveal the estimate was hopeful, because the platform is already built and running.
Your gifts stay yours. We keep nothing from coin sales, gift commission, the agency share, withdrawal fees, VIP subscriptions or game participation. You set each of those levers and you keep what they earn.
No fee by headcount. A thousandth host adds nothing to your bill from us, which matters where growing supply is the whole plan.
Gaps are priced up front. The pre-launch list appears on the hub and again here. Each item is scoped and quoted before any work starts, so the true cost of reaching production is visible to you in advance.
Both statements hold together: this is a real head start on a very large build, and it is not production-hardened on day six. We say both.
Hidden Costs Most Quotes Leave Out
None of these go to us. All of them go on your budget, and on a broadcasting platform several are large.
Media usage and host supply decide unit economics more than anything else, and both rise with the growth you are aiming for.
