Depends

Should I use Rendi - FFmpeg API?

Fast, scalable, reliable FFmpeg as a Service. No installation, just run FFmpeg online on Rendi's cloud infrastructure. - rendi.dev

Buy if you automate FFmpeg rendering and want to skip running your own servers. Skip if you need enterprise security assurance or only convert videos occasionally.

Byte-based billing scales with file size and storage; large libraries cost more than expected.

No security page or compliance info; vet data handling before uploading sensitive media.
