8 tools that solve a similar problem. Compare what each costs and what it covers.
Video hosting that reports who watched what
Vidyard reports who watched a video and how far they got, aimed at sales and marketing teams rather than an engineer building a player from an API.
Video hosting with a player nobody advertises on
Vimeo is the upload-and-get-a-link tool Mux itself points to for anybody who does not want to touch an API key.
Video hosting priced by bandwidth, with DRM on top
Gumlet prices by bandwidth and adds DRM on top, useful when the video needs copy protection that Mux's API does not focus on.
Video hosting for video your own site depends on
Wistia from $79 with a free tier hosts the video a site depends on, with the player and reporting built rather than assembled.
Works with YouTube
Video hosting with the bandwidth included
SproutVideo is the other upload-and-share option Mux names for someone who wants a dashboard, not an API integration.
Live streaming and hosting sold by the terabyte
Dacast is built around live streaming sold by the terabyte, a different job from Mux's on-demand encoding and playback API.
Works with YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Kick
Pay-as-you-go video hosting and delivery
bunny.net bills pay-as-you-go from $1 a month with no free tier, a lighter-weight API than Mux for delivery without the encoding and analytics layer built in.
Editing, hosting and streaming on one plan
Wave.video from $16 with a free tier edits, hosts and streams on one plan, for people who want a product rather than an API.
Works with YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, LinkedIn, Kick
