Pay-As-You-Go · No Subscriptions

Add Funds & Billing.

The complete guide to Ximos's flexible balance model. Learn exactly how pricing works, which features consume balance, how to top up with crypto or manual payment, and how to get the most out of your free seconds.

Overview: How Ximos Pricing Works

Unlike traditional parental monitoring apps that lock you into expensive recurring monthly subscriptions, Ximos operates on a flexible, risk-free Pay-As-You-Go Balance Model.

No Monthly Subscriptions

Never worry about automatic deductions or wasting money on months you don't use the app.

100% Safe Unused Balance

Your deposited funds stay safely in your account forever. No expiration date.

Pay Only For What You Use

Your balance is only consumed when you actively use specific live streaming features.

Minimum Top-Up $1

Top up any custom amount starting from just $1.00.

Core Pricing & Per-Second Rates

Ximos bills streaming by the second. The current rate is 0.00015 per second for all three streaming features. The standard maximum rate is 0.00031 per second. Rates may vary slightly by feature but will not exceed this maximum.

Feature Billing Mode Rate / Notes
Screen Cast Per second 0.00015/sec (current). Remote live screen mirroring with touch control.
Camera Cast Per second 0.00015/sec (current). Includes PRO features like Audio Merge and high resolution.
Surrounding Audio Per second (with bonus) 0.00015/sec (current). 10-second free bonus if stream exceeds 60 seconds (a 60s stream bills for 50s).
Pulse Cut Warning: If you forget to stop a stream, lose network connectivity, or switch apps while streaming, a 10–20 second pulse may be billed. Always stop streaming properly when finished to avoid unnecessary charges.

Free Plan & Free Seconds

Every Ximos account includes a free tier that never expires and requires no payment. You can use Ximos entirely on free seconds if you manage them carefully.

Use Free Seconds for Streaming ($0 Balance Needed):
You can start a stream using only your free seconds, even if your purchased balance is zero. However, the system requires a minimum threshold of free seconds to initiate and sustain the stream reliably:
  • Screen Cast & Surrounding Audio: Minimum 15 seconds required.
  • Camera Cast: Minimum 400 seconds required.

720 Free Bonus Seconds — Every 19 Days

You receive 720 free seconds on signup. You can manually reset them every 19 days by visiting ximosapp.com/app/?open=reset.

Safe Guard: If your current free seconds are higher than 720, resetting will not reduce them. It keeps the higher amount.

Watch Ads to Earn Free Seconds

  • Watch 2 ads (minimum 25 seconds each) to earn about 1 credit.
  • Genuine interaction and completing tasks within 100–120 seconds can yield higher rewards (e.g., 1.99 credits).
  • Convert credits to free seconds at any time with no limit.
  • Daily limit: 60 ads.
  • Fraud alert: Fake watching will set your daily limit and burn earned credits.

Enterprise Plan ($15 Top-Up)

  • ✓ No per-second stream billing restrictions
  • ✓ 24/7 priority support

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use free seconds to start a stream without balance?
Yes. You can use your free seconds to start a stream even if you have $0 balance. However, minimum thresholds apply: You need at least 15 seconds for Screen Cast or Surrounding Audio, and at least 400 seconds for Camera Cast.
What is Ximos's Pay-As-You-Go model?
Ximos uses a flexible Pay-As-You-Go balance model instead of monthly subscriptions. You top up any amount from $1, and your balance is only consumed when you use specific live streaming features. Unused funds never expire and stay in your account forever.
Which features cost money in Ximos?
Only three live streaming features deduct from your balance or free seconds: Screen Cast, Camera Cast, and Surrounding Audio. All other features are 100% free.
What is the exact per-second streaming rate?
The current rate is 0.00015 per second for all three streaming features. The standard maximum rate is 0.00031 per second. Surrounding Audio gives a 10-second free bonus if you stream for more than 60 seconds.
How does the 19-day free reset work?
Go to ximosapp.com/app/?open=reset to manually reset your free seconds. If your current free seconds are higher than 720, the reset will not reduce them—it keeps the higher amount (safe-guard). The reset only applies to free bonus seconds, not purchased balance.
What is the $3 bonus and how do I get it?
From November 5 to January 1, use code XIMOS099 when you top up. Contact [email protected] with the code to receive your $3 bonus. This is a limited-time offer.
What happens when my balance runs out?
Your account is never locked. You can continue streaming using your 720 free bonus seconds (refreshed every 19 days), watching supported ads to earn free seconds, or topping up a small amount from $1.
Is there a monthly subscription?
No. Ximos has no monthly subscriptions, no recurring charges, and no lock-in contracts. You pay only for the stream seconds you actually use.
Which cryptocurrencies are accepted?
Ximos accepts USDT and USDC on the Polygon network only. Sending any other coin or using any other network will result in permanent fund loss.
What if I send on the wrong network?
You will permanently lose your funds. Ximos cannot recover crypto sent on the wrong network. Always double-check that you are using the Polygon network with USDT or USDC.
How long until my balance is credited?
Your balance is credited automatically after the Polygon network confirms the transaction. If you sent the correct amount on the correct network but your balance does not update, contact support and it will be resolved within 5 minutes.
How do I earn free seconds?
You receive 720 free bonus seconds every 19 days. You can also watch supported ads to earn credits. Watching 2 ads (minimum 25 seconds each) yields about 1 credit. Genuine interaction can yield higher rewards (e.g., 1.99 credits). Convert credits to free seconds at any time with no limit. Daily limit: 60 ads. Fraud attempts will set your daily limit and burn earned credits.
What is the pulse cut on streaming?
If you forget to stop a stream, lose network connectivity, or switch apps while streaming, a 10–20 second pulse may be billed. Always stop streaming properly when finished.
What is PRO mode in Ximos?
PRO mode unlocks when you have any active balance (from $1 to $100+). It enables Audio Merge during Camera Cast and high-quality resolutions (1080p, 1280p, 1920p). PRO is not a separate subscription—it is included with any balance.
Can I get a refund?
Crypto top-ups are generally non-refundable due to the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions. If you have a billing issue, contact [email protected] and the team will help resolve it.
How do I contact Ximos support?
Email [email protected]. Response time is typically within 30 minutes and always within 24 hours.
