Vimeo Pro vs Vzaar
Round 1: Pricing
Vimeo Pro | Vzaar |
---|---|
$17/month ($200/year) for 1024 GB | From $20/ month for 100 GB Storage |
Winner
Winner: Vimeo Pro!
Both Vimeo Pro and Vzaar offer a stripped back free version (though Vimeo cannot be used for commercial and business purposes). The storage offered by the basic Vzaar package is 100GB (with 250GB bandwidth, good if you have a few videos with a lot of traffic) but the advanced features are not available until you pay for the ‘professional’ package at $200/month. For low volumes of HQ video Vimeo Pro is better.

Winner
Winner: Vzaar
Vzaar wins here – but only from the $200/month package onwards. For the basic package, the feature list is almost equal although Vzaar has slightly more functionality. Vimeo Pro still has the best features relating to monetization through the Vimeo on Demand and Tip Jar service. Vimeo Pro has analytics features which are better than the basic package Vzaar analytics but worse than the business package.

Winner
Winner: Vzaar!
Vzaar wins again with a medium level of integration capability. WordPress, Youtube, and Hubspot are all supported internally. Vzaar only integrates with Hubspot rather than Salesforce but its MailChimp app makes it a good bet for email marketing. Vimeo Pro, while it supports HTML5 does not have great integration support officially. The API is open for developers to make their own additions bounce house for sale.
