The report card
Best for 24/7 TV-style channels
Viloud builds 24/7 linear, on-demand and FAST channels from your videos. Pro is $29 a month, usage is capped in minutes stored and viewed, and overage fees apply beyond that.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $29 a month billed annually for 5 channels, between the $20.80 and $45 marks. Premium is $199. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 14-day free trial of all features with no card. |
| Features | C | Linear, on-demand and FAST channels, embeddable player and live streaming. Live streaming starts on Business, and it is not a webinar tool. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build channels and playlists. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with a single Vimeo link and no apps listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
