Where SproutVideo falls short

  • A tiered subscription, not usage

    From $12 to $195 a month depending on the plan: the bill follows the tier, not the videos uploaded.

  • The strongest protections sit at the top

    Viewer SSO and restrictions by IP and country: announced on the Forest plan alone, at $195 a month.

  • Watermarks and signed embeds start at $72

    Dynamic watermarks and signed embed codes start at $72 a month: below that, they do not exist.

  • Storage and delivery included per tier

    1 TB of storage and 12 TB of delivery on Tree, 2 and 24 on Forest: going past moves you up a tier.

  • Live hours are capped

    30 hours of live input on Tree, 96 on Forest: one extra event can tip the plan over.

  • Team seats are counted

    10 seats on Tree, 50 and up on Forest: one more team is settled by changing plan.

  • No European hosting region announced

    The company is American and names no European hosting zone on its product pages.

  • The headline price assumes an annual commitment

    The headline prices are the annual ones, discounted up to 34%: paid monthly, the total climbs.

Protections are never locked
