## Good for

- 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

## Worth knowing

- 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.
