How we grade them
| 2.0GPAVidalyticsFair | 2.6GPAVimeoGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DStarter is $19 a month billed yearly for 5 videos. Heatmaps, segmentation and conversion tracking start on Pro at $63, which is in the dearest tenth of video tools. | CStarter is $12 a month billed annually ($144), or $20 by the month, so just above this category's $10 middle for 1 user and 2TB. Livestreamed events are a long climb up, on Advanced at $75. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free plan is listed as free forever with fewer analytics, and paid plans have a 14-day trial. The free plan's own limits aren't published. | CFree stays free indefinitely with ad-free playback and 30-minute recordings. The catch is 1 GB of storage for the life of the account: it never resets, so a few long videos and that's the end of it. |
| Features | CSmart autoplay, CTAs, gates, A/B tests and analytics. Storage is capped at 5, 20 or 50 videos, and the API and multiple users start on Premium. | BAd-free hosting up to 4K with HDR, an embeddable customizable player, passwords and unlisted links, time-coded review comments with versions, a browser recorder and editor, live events with Q&A. No gap in the hosting job. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You set up players, gates and integrations for each page. | B4.5 from 11,801 App Store ratings. The plans are the confusing part, since the help center also describes newer Core, Professional and Studio tiers alongside the ones on the pricing page. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, but with Google Analytics, Facebook, Zapier, Make, Segment and Shopify, plus an API on Premium. | BWeb, Mac, iPhone and Android with an API, connecting to Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Dropbox, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Zoom and Shopify. The only desktop app is for Mac, which is what keeps it off an A. |
| Best for | video sales pages with watch-time analytics | hosting videos with no ads around them |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
