Videokr as a Vidyard alternative

Vidyard is built around sales video — personal recordings sent to prospects, with CRM integration. Videokr is built around marketing video that lives on your pages: hosted delivery, a branded player, in-video CTAs and email capture, per-video retention, embeddable anywhere, priced on plays rather than seats.

Different jobs

The distinction is worth getting right before you compare features:

• Sales video — a rep records something for one prospect, sends it, and wants a notification when it is watched and a record on the deal.
• Marketing video — one video on a page, watched by thousands, judged on play rate, retention and leads.

Vidyard's centre of gravity is the first. Videokr does the second: public video pages, embeds on any site, in-video lead capture, and a retention curve per video.

What you get with Videokr

• Hosted delivery of an upload or a linked MP4/WebM/HLS/YouTube/Vimeo source.
• A player with no vendor branding on paid plans and Lifetime.
• Overlays, end screens and email gates; leads to CSV, email and signed webhooks.
• A hundred-bucket retention curve per video, with referrer, device and country splits.
• Free WordPress plugin, iframe and script embeds, playlists, chapters, captions.
• Access control: unlisted, password, domain-locked embeds.

Pricing shape

Per play, de-duplicated once per video per month, with no bandwidth meter: free at 500 plays, $29/year for 10,000, $29/month with unlimited plays for Agency, or $69 once for 10,000 a month forever. Extra plays cost $1 per 10,000 on Starter and Lifetime.

Seat-based pricing is the thing to compare against your own reality: if two people manage video for a company of two hundred, per-seat pricing is usually irrelevant and per-play is cheaper; if two hundred reps each send personal videos, the opposite is true.

Where Videokr is the wrong choice

• You want per-rep recording, screen capture and sending built in, with a per-prospect view feed.
• You need native CRM objects updated by the vendor (rather than a webhook your side consumes).
• You need enterprise procurement, SSO and role hierarchies.

Migrating

Download masters, upload or link them in Videokr, rebuild CTAs and chapters, swap embeds, run both for a week and compare plays before you switch anything off.

How to read this page

Videokr's own numbers here are exact. Everything about the other product is limited to how it is structured — what it hosts, where it plays, what it prices on — because feature lists and prices change without notice and we will not print a number for someone else's product that might be stale by the time you read it. Check their current pricing page before you decide, and try both free tiers: that is a better comparison than any table written by a vendor.
