Where Wistia falls short

  • Key features locked behind the Advanced plan

    Video channels, domain restriction, advanced analytics: the essentials are only available on the $400/month plan.

  • Video limits that push you into costly upgrades

    Every plan caps how many videos you can have. As soon as your library grows, you are forced up to the next tier.

  • No real media library

    Wistia offers neither folders nor subfolders. With dozens of videos, organizing them quickly becomes unmanageable.

  • No European hosting, GDPR risk

    Your data is stored in the United States. The player sets third-party cookies, which complicates your GDPR compliance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I migrate my videos to Videas?

Videas offers a free migration service. Our team handles the transfer of your files and metadata, allowing you to continue broadcasting your videos without interruption.

Does Videas offer tools for video marketing?

Yes. Videas includes analytics with heatmaps to measure engagement, video channels to organize your content, and customizable presentation pages. CRM integrations are possible via API and webhooks.

How much does Videas cost?

Pricing is usage-based: €0.20 per hour of stored video per month, €0.02 per GB of bandwidth. No subscription. €5 free credit on sign-up, then €5/month.

Does the player work without cookies?

Yes. The Videas player sets no cookies or trackers, and can be embedded without modifying your GDPR consent banner.

Where is the data hosted?

All data is hosted in France. GDPR compliance is native, with no transfer outside the European Union.

Can I see which sites are playing my videos?

Yes. Analytics lists the domains where your videos are being played, alongside countries and devices. That is exactly what goes missing once a video is embedded on a partner's site or a campaign page: you measure playback where it happens, not only on your own site.

Can I see who watched a video, by name?

Only inside a channel where your viewers have an account: a Users tab ranks the most active ones, and each profile shows watch time, sessions and average completion. Everywhere else — a video embedded on your site, a link sent by email — measurement stays aggregated: trends and countries, never a name.

Can the player offer an action at the end of a video?

Yes. The end screen can carry a link to the page of your choice, a form or a feedback request, rather than letting the viewer walk away. The retention curve then tells you how many viewers actually reached it.

Can I get my videos back if I switch tools?

Yes, whenever you want. You select your media in the library and download the source files in bulk. Metadata — names, descriptions, tags, dates, durations — exports separately, as CSV or Excel.

Is the player accessible?

It follows RGAA good practice: subtitles, chapters, keyboard-reachable controls and readable contrast. Subtitles are generated automatically, corrected in an editor, and several languages can coexist on the same video — the viewer picks theirs mid-playback.
