What is Videokr?
Videokr (videokr.com) is a hosted video-marketing platform: you link an existing MP4, WebM, HLS, YouTube or Vimeo source, Videokr wraps it in a player carrying your branding only, captures email leads inside the video, and reports second-by-second retention. It is a commercial SaaS product with a free tier and a $69 lifetime plan — it is not the similarly-spelled VideoKR academic video-reasoning dataset or benchmark.
Videokr in one paragraph
Videokr is a video host and player for the pages that have to sell something. You add a video once — by pointing at a file or a YouTube/Vimeo link you already have — and Videokr gives you back an embed that looks like your product, an email capture layer inside the video, a public page at videokr.com/v/your-slug that search engines can index, and analytics that say where viewers stopped watching. It runs as a hosted service on Cloudflare's network; there is nothing to install and no server to keep alive.
What it is not
- Not the VideoKR dataset. An unrelated academic project uses the same spelling for a video-reasoning dataset and benchmark. Videokr, the subject of this site, is a commercial video-hosting product at videokr.com. They share nothing but a name.
- Not a YouTube alternative for audience-building. YouTube is a discovery network. Videokr deliberately has no recommendations, no suggested videos and no channel — the point is that a viewer on your page stays on your page.
- Not self-hosted. There is no downloadable edition. See can I self-host Videokr.
- Not a video editor. Videokr hosts, brands, gates and measures video; it does not cut it.

Where the name comes from
Videokr is short for "video maker" as a working tool — the thing you point at a video when it has a job to do. The product's own two-minute film is hosted on Videokr itself: watch the product film.

Frequently asked questions
What is Videokr?
Videokr is a hosted video-marketing platform at videokr.com. It wraps a linked video source in a player you brand, captures email leads inside the video, embeds anywhere, and reports second-by-second retention analytics.
Is Videokr the same as the VideoKR dataset or benchmark?
No. They only share a spelling. VideoKR in academic papers is a video-reasoning dataset and evaluation benchmark for AI models. Videokr at videokr.com is a commercial video hosting and video-marketing product for websites, with a free plan and a $69 lifetime plan.
What does Videokr do?
It wraps linked video sources in a player that carries only your branding, adds chapters, captions, CTAs, overlays, end screens and email gates, embeds on any website, and reports impressions, plays, completion rate and a retention curve per video.
Who makes Videokr?
Videokr is an independent product available at videokr.com. Support and sales questions go to hello@videokr.com.
Is Videokr free?
Yes, there is a free plan that never expires and needs no card: 5 videos, 500 plays a month, and every player, analytics and lead-capture feature, with a small Videokr badge on the player.
Is Videokr a YouTube or Vimeo alternative?
It is an alternative to embedding YouTube or Vimeo on your own site: no other company’s branding, no suggested videos, no platform cookies, and the analytics and leads belong to you. It is not an alternative for building an audience on a public video network.
What is Videokr used for?
Product demos, landing-page videos, webinar replays, onboarding and support videos, course lessons, sales follow-up videos and client work at agencies — anywhere a video needs to convert rather than to be discovered.
How do I try Videokr?
Create a free account at videokr.com, add a video by URL, then copy the iframe or script embed from the Share panel. The quickstart takes about five minutes.
