# 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](/guides/video-seo), embeds on any site, [in-video lead capture](/docs/ctas-and-lead-forms), 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](/docs/sources).
- A [player](/docs/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](/docs/analytics) per video, with referrer, device and country splits.
- Free [WordPress plugin](/docs/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.

## FAQ

### Can Videokr replace Vidyard for sales videos?

Only partly. Videokr hosts, brands and measures video and can capture emails in the player, but it does not record per-prospect sales videos or write to CRM objects itself — it delivers signed webhooks your stack can act on.
