Vidyard vs Vimeo

Vidyard

• Sales reps sending personalized video messages to prospects
• Revenue teams that want video viewing data in their CRM
• Marketers hosting business video with calls to action

Vimeo

• Hosting and embedding videos without ads or suggested videos
• Creative teams sharing cuts for time-coded review
• Businesses running webinars and livestreamed events on the Advanced plan

Vidyard

• The Free plan allows 5 recorded videos a month and 15 AI videos, and its plan table lists video hosting and analytics as not included.
• CRM and marketing automation integrations, video hubs and custom CTAs start on Teams, which is custom-priced.
• Unlimited Video Agent use is an add-on: $24 per seat a month billed annually on Starter, custom-priced on Teams and Enterprise.
• The mobile apps record with the camera only, and the browser extension runs only in Chrome and Edge.

Vimeo

• The Free plan is capped at 1 GB of storage for the life of the account; the allowance does not reset or renew.
• Livestreamed events and webinars need the Advanced plan at $75 a month billed annually, or Enterprise.
• Self-serve plans have a bandwidth limit of 2TB a month; accounts that expect more are asked to talk to sales.
• Vimeo's help center also describes newer Core, Professional and Studio plans, with Professional rolling out gradually, so the plans an account is offered may differ.
