I would like to know what the costs come out to per minute of video encoded and how many outputs they're getting in order to compare this to something like Media Convert (AWS), Google Transcode or something dedicated like Mux.

For reference Google Transcoder is about $0.13 per minute of encoding (at four resolutions). Mux is at $0.032 / min, AWS Media Convert $0.0188.

I should note I know Mux's pricing well, use them a lot, happily. It gets a bit confusing with Google and Media Convert because I'm not sure how these costs map to the resulting bitrate renditions that get created and I've not got the time for a deeper dive to get a more straight apples to apples comparison (ignore scale discounts)
