Vimeo
Vimeo is a video platform for making, managing, and sharing video, with tools for hosting, creation, collaboration, and live events. Paid plans include an ad-free player with 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision support, video embedding, templates, trimming, timeline editing, and GIF creation. They also include transcription and subtitle translations, with additional AI tools on higher tiers. Teams can use shared folders, video review, configurable review links, and downloadable comments. The Advanced plan adds virtual events and webinars, simulcasting, Q&A, polls, audience chat, and stream health information. Vimeo offers web, Android, iOS, and API access, along with integrations such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Figma, Google Drive, Slack, and Zoom. Free accounts do not expire, but can upload or create up to 1 GB of content over the account’s lifetime. Paid plans include email support. Starter costs $12 a month for one user, with 2 TB of storage and 2 TB of monthly bandwidth; higher listed plans add users, storage, and event capacity. Enterprise pricing is custom.
