## Pricing

Consumer cloud storage like [OneDrive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneDrive) and [Dropbox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropbox) offer video streaming, but they transcode videos to lower quality, have slow startup times, and lack native player integration. They can be convenient for small personal collections, but they don't provide end-to-end encryption and can be cumbersome for large libraries.

Jackpot aims for a middle ground: direct streaming from cheap commodity storage with end-to-end encryption, no quality loss, and minimal setup.
