Kaltura vs Videas
Hosting, a channel under your own brand, AI subtitles and live streaming in a single product, at a price you can work out yourself.
Videas and Kaltura both host business video. The difference is scope and price: Kaltura sells around ten separate products, and the main ones are quote only. Videas brings hosting, the channel, live streaming and AI subtitling together in one platform, billed as you go, with no subscription.

Video portal, console, webinars, virtual classroom, town halls, meetings, APIs: each brick has its own grid and contract.
Video portal, town halls and events are quote only. Only the APIs publish a grid: $20 a year, then usage.
The privacy policy warns of a possible transfer outside your jurisdiction, and the security page is password protected.
Media Services is an API environment: the interface your teams will use every day is still yours to build.
$100 of credits for thirty days at $1, on the APIs. Every other product goes through sales first.
Kaltura invites you to mix and match its solutions and points at a contact form: each combination gets its quote.
Credit packages run from $500 to $24,000, discounted 8% to 20%: the budget is committed up front.
Webinars, the virtual classroom and the conversational agent publish plans. The video portal, the central product, stays quote only.
Kaltura is not your only option: the Kaltura alternatives compare six platforms and how many products you have to buy.
Hosting, media library, a channel under your own brand, live streaming with chat, AI subtitling in over 100 languages, analytics: all of it lives in the same account, on the same file uploaded once. There is no module to buy when a new use case arrives, and no second contract to open one more channel.
€0.20 per hour of video stored each month, €0.02 per GB delivered, €0.10 per minute of subtitles generated, €10 per channel per month. The grid is public, the calculator is on the pricing page, and you top up a credit wallet whenever you decide to: no annual fee, no commitment, no quote.
One workspace per department, subsidiary or partner, with admin, manager and viewer roles, viewer groups, and your company SSO over SAML or OpenID Connect. Your teams publish for themselves without going through yours, and analytics read per signed-in user.
The Videas player runs with no cookies and no third-party trackers, whether you embed it as an iframe or a script, on your intranet or your public site. Your visitors are not tracked, and you do not need a consent banner just because you embedded a video.
