What you pay on top of the license
Your storage
Media Shuttle doesn’t host your files. It connects to storage you run, on premises or in your own AWS, Google Cloud or Azure account, so that cost sits with you and your cloud provider.
Cloud traffic past your allowance
Professional includes 25 TB of cloud payload transfers and Enterprise includes 100 TB. Your cloud provider’s own egress charges still apply to data leaving your bucket. Check both before you sign.
The annual commitment
Prices are published per year. That makes the cost predictable, but you commit up front, so size the tier against your real volume rather than your busiest month.
How Media Shuttle licensing works
Media Shuttle is licensed as an annual subscription, not per gigabyte. Signiant’s article on Media Shuttle economics describes licenses sold in annual blocks of users, priced as tiers, where higher tiers bring the price per user down. The current pricing page presents three packages with starting prices instead. In practice, you agree a tier with Signiant’s sales team based on users, portals, storage and features such as SSO and the API, and the quote is what you pay.
That is the opposite of MASV, which charges for every gigabyte downloaded and has no per-seat fees. See the MASV pricing breakdown for its meter, and Media Shuttle vs MASV for both side by side.
Who Media Shuttle is built for
Worth it if
You run a facility with your own SAN, NAS or cloud buckets, you need send, share and submit portals for many outside vendors, IT needs SSO and API automation, or you move enough data that one annual number is easier to budget than a meter.
Probably not if
You’re a freelancer or small studio sending a few hundred gigabytes a month to a handful of clients. The first published tier is over $1,000 a month, which pays for infrastructure and support you won’t use.
What smaller teams use
Usage billing like MASV if volume is low and irregular, or a flat-priced tool like Send Atlas: $14.99 a month for transfers up to 1 TB, delivery receipts, and client upload links in place of submit portals.
Media Shuttle pricing FAQ
How much does Signiant Media Shuttle cost?
Signiant’s pricing page lists three annual tiers. Small Business is priced by quote, Professional starts at $13,000 a year and Enterprise starts at $25,000 a year. Those are starting prices; your quote depends on what you need. Storage is extra, because Media Shuttle runs on storage you provide.
Is there a monthly Media Shuttle plan?
Signiant publishes annual prices only. $13,000 a year works out to about $1,083 a month, and $25,000 a year to about $2,083 a month, paid as an annual contract.
How is Media Shuttle licensed?
As an annual subscription tier. Signiant’s own article on Media Shuttle economics describes licenses sold in annual blocks of users, priced as tiers, with a lower price per user on higher tiers. Today’s pricing page presents the tiers as packages rather than a per-seat price.
Does the price include storage?
No. Media Shuttle connects to storage you supply, either on premises or in your own AWS, Google Cloud or Azure account. You pay your storage provider separately, including any cloud egress charges beyond your tier’s cloud payload allowance.
What is a cloud payload allowance?
It is how much you can transfer in and out of cloud storage under your tier. Signiant lists 25 TB of cloud payload transfers on Professional and 100 TB on Enterprise when you use AWS, GCP or Azure storage. Professional also lists unlimited transfers in and out of on-premises storage.
Is there a free trial of Media Shuttle?
Signiant’s site offers a trial. It doesn’t list a free plan.
Is Media Shuttle cheaper than MASV?
It depends on volume. MASV bills $0.25 per GB every time a file is downloaded, with subscriptions from $58 to $973 a month. At a few terabytes of deliveries a month, MASV costs a similar amount per year to Media Shuttle Professional. Below that, MASV is usually cheaper. Well above it, an annual contract usually wins. Our Media Shuttle vs MASV comparison works through two real volumes.
What are the alternatives to Media Shuttle?
MASV is the closest usage-based alternative. IBM Aspera competes on accelerated transfer for large organizations. For freelancers and small studios sending a few hundred gigabytes a month, a flat-priced browser tool such as Send Atlas covers delivery, receipts and client upload links without an annual contract.
