Does XbotGo Require a Subscription?

XbotGo Help Last updated on

No, XbotGo does not require any subscription or monthly fees. When you purchase XbotGo, you own your sports camera completely—no hidden costs, no recurring charges, no surprises. Your one-time investment covers the recording, AI auto-tracking, and live streaming that make the camera work, for as long as you own it.

Own Your Equipment, Not Rent Features

XbotGo works the other way around: you buy it, you own it. Every XbotGo purchase includes:

  • 20GB Free Cloud Storage – AWS-powered cloud storage on every account, with no monthly fee attached to it

  • Free Live Streaming – One-tap broadcasts to YouTube, Facebook, and full RTMP, with no streaming fees and no per-broadcast charges

  • On-Board AI Tracking and Auto-Highlights – The Falcon's tracking and its post-game highlight editing are part of the camera, not a paid tier you switch on later

  • True 4K Recording – The Falcon captures native 4K at 30fps, and 1080p at 60fps with the latest firmware, with nothing held back behind a premium unlock

What's Included, and What You Buy Separately

Everything the camera needs to record, track, and stream is included in the one-time purchase. What sits outside it is physical gear—a memory card and a tripod—plus one analytics feature XbotGo has announced but not yet released. Nothing on that list is a subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is XbotGo free to use after you buy it?

Yes. Once you own the camera, recording, AI auto-tracking, live streaming, the app, and 20GB of cloud storage carry no further charge. The only announced paid extra is AI Analysis, an upcoming add-on whose pricing plans XbotGo says are still being developed.

Does the XbotGo Falcon require a subscription?

No. The Falcon is a one-time purchase with lifetime access to its core features. Its AI tracking runs on an on-board processor rather than a cloud service, so there is no plan to renew and no monthly fee keeping the camera switched on.

Is XbotGo live streaming really free?

Yes. One-tap streaming to YouTube Live, Facebook Live, XbotGo Live, and any full RTMP destination is included, with no streaming fees and no per-broadcast charge. You supply the internet connection; XbotGo does not add a recurring cost on top of it.

Do I have to pay for the XbotGo app?

No. The XbotGo app is free to download on iOS and Android, and free to keep updated. Firmware updates that add new features come at no extra cost either. There is no paid tier inside the app for core recording, tracking, or live streaming.
