Who is Videokr for?
Videokr is for people who put video on their own pages and need it branded and measurable: SaaS and product marketers, founders running a demo on the landing page, agencies hosting client video, course and coaching businesses, and WordPress sites that do not want media in their own hosting. It is the wrong tool if you want public discovery, live streaming or DRM-grade piracy protection.
Good fits
- SaaS and product marketing. A demo on the landing page with an email gate at the moment of interest, and a retention curve that tells you which 15 seconds lose people. See landing-page video.
- Founders and small teams. One payment on the lifetime plan instead of a per-seat monthly platform bill.
- Agencies. Projects separate clients, playlists group deliverables, and the player carries the client's brand rather than yours or ours.
- Course and membership businesses. Unlisted or password-protected videos, chapters, captions and playlists, embedded in whatever platform holds the course.
- WordPress sites. The free plugin keeps video out of your own hosting entirely.
- Support and onboarding. Short answers as video, embedded in help articles, with completion rates showing which ones actually get watched.
Poor fits — say so up front
- Audience-building. If you want the algorithm to bring you strangers, publish on YouTube. Videokr has no discovery surface by design.
- Live streaming. Videokr plays on-demand video only.
- Hard piracy protection. There is password protection and wildcard domain locking, but no studio-grade DRM.
- Video editing. Bring a finished cut.
How to decide in five minutes
Ask what the video is for. If the answer names a page and an action — "the demo on pricing, so they book a call" — Videokr is the right shape. If the answer is "so people find us on YouTube", it is not. How to choose a video platform walks the full decision.
Frequently asked questions
Is Videokr good for small businesses?
Yes. The free plan covers a small site outright, and the $69 lifetime plan covers 10,000 plays a month permanently, which is more than most small-business sites use.
Can agencies use Videokr for client work?
Yes. Projects keep clients separate, the player carries the client’s branding with no Videokr badge on paid plans, and the Agency plan includes unlimited plays and unlimited videos.
Is Videokr suitable for online courses?
Yes, for hosting and delivering the lesson videos: unlisted or password-protected videos, chapters, captions, playlists and embeds that work in any course platform. Videokr does not handle enrolment or payments for courses.
Should I use Videokr instead of YouTube?
Use both for different jobs: YouTube for public discovery, Videokr for video on your own pages where you want no external branding, no suggested videos, no platform cookies, and analytics and leads you own.
Does Videokr support live streaming?
No. Videokr plays on-demand video only. For live events, use a streaming provider and host the recording on Videokr afterwards.
Is Videokr for developers?
It works for developers — HMAC-signed webhooks, API keys and a documented embed API — but it needs no code: the embed is one line of HTML.
