Wistia vs Vimeo Pro

by yourreviewer
7 replies
I am looking for video solutions for my client (basically looking for videos that load fast and quickly). I am looking at Wistia and Vimeo Pro. Wistia seems to be really good but quite expensive. Has anyone used Vimeo Pro?

What about JW Premium Player with their video hosting solution and Flowplayer?

Any feedback is appreciated.

    If your budget is allowed, I'd definitely go for Wistia!

    We use Vimeo Pro as it's 1/10 the cost of Wistia. Wistia IS better if you have the budget.

      Thanks David. Just to make sure with Vimeo Pro, do we have the option of making sure that there are no leaks or logo on the video? And can we use a full fledged marketing video for Vimeo Pro?

        Yes on the "no leaks" part and we use marketing videos all the time and have never had a problem. I think it's "Vimeo +" where you can't use "marketing" videos.

    Wistia Hands down, the increasing quality is worth the increased cost.

    I have no complaints with Vimeo Pro. I have used it for over a year with no real issues. Just started Wistia recently so no real time data for you. But, Wistia is great if you have the budget! It has great analytics! Wistia Heat Map provides Identity Tagging (insight into how much of each video is viewed and replayed) It provides better embedded analytics as well. It's more expensive than Youtube (which is FREE) and Vimeo Pro if you have more than several videos to host.

      Wistia is actually less expensive than the alternative I was looking at (being easy video suite). Does any one know if it has an auto playback feature? And what kind of customer support do you get?
