Vidyard

Vidyard hosts video for people who need to know what happened after the embed loaded: which viewer watched, how far they got, and what to do about it. That is a sales and marketing shape rather than an audience one, and it is the reason to choose it over a general host. For a creator it earns its place on a course page, a pitch to a sponsor, or anywhere a play is a lead rather than a view. There is a free tier with a video cap.

The free plan hosts a limited number of videos a month. Above it the page quotes $24 per seat a month billed annually, and $59 per seat a month billed annually for the tier with the fuller analytics and integrations. Both paid figures state the annual term outright and no monthly rate is printed, so the cost of paying month to month is not published.

Video where a view is a lead: a course sales page, a pitch to a sponsor, a follow-up sent to one person. Knowing which named viewer finished the video is the thing being bought. A creator publishing to an audience wants a general host instead, since none of this reporting applies when the viewers are anonymous.
