Vimeo OTT charges $1 per subscriber every month, plus 10% of your one-time purchases. Vodlix is a flat monthly fee with 0% revenue share, so growing your audience never grows your bill. Same white-label apps, multi-DRM on Apps+ plans, and you own every dollar.
0% revenue share • 14 day free trial • Free migration from VimeoSubscription revenue only. Payment processing applies on every platform, including ours, so it is left out everywhere. Vimeo OTT: Starter $0 base + $1.00/subscriber + 10% of one-time sales; Enterprise is quote-only (vimeo.com, checked 2026-09-04). Vodlix plans and allowances come from our published price list; the calculator picks the cheapest one that does what you ticked. An illustration, not a quote.
Built for streaming businesses that have outgrown per-subscriber fees
Real platforms — built and running on Vodlix
Vimeo OTT charges $1 per subscriber, every month, forever. We charge a flat fee for the plan that fits you — and at your size that is rarely our biggest plan. Here is the crossover against the plan you would actually be on.
| Subscribers | Vimeo OTT | Vodlix — the plan you would be on | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | $30 / mo | $29.70 / mo PAYG | Vodlix, by $0.30/mo |
| 50 | $50 / mo | $49.50 / mo PAYG | Vodlix, by $0.50/mo |
| 100 | $100 / mo | $99 / mo PAYG | Vodlix, by $1/mo |
| 250 | $250 / mo | $99 / mo Launch | Vodlix, by $151/mo |
| 500 | $500 / mo | $99 / mo Launch | Vodlix, by $401/mo |
| 1,000 | $1,000 / mo | $99 / mo Launch | Vodlix, by $901/mo |
| 2,500 | $2,500 / mo | $99 / mo Launch | Vodlix, by $2,401/mo |
| 5,000 | $5,000 / mo | $99 / mo Launch | Vodlix, by $4,901/mo |
| 10,000 | $10,000 / mo | $99 / mo Launch | Vodlix, by $9,901/mo |
Vimeo OTT Starter's published $1/subscriber/mo, against the cheapest Vodlix plan that covers a web SVOD catalogue at each size — Pay as You Grow at $0.99/subscriber while you are small, then Web + API Launch at $99 flat once that is cheaper. It leaves out Vimeo's 10% cut of one-time purchases, which only widens the gap, and it does not reflect custom Vimeo OTT Enterprise pricing. Native apps are not in this table: they are Enterprise-only on Vimeo, and start at Apps+ with us. Run your own numbers in the calculator above.

Beyond the per-subscriber math, here's what changes when you own the platform instead of renting it.
A flat monthly fee means the 10,000th subscriber costs you exactly what the first one did. On Vimeo OTT, every new subscriber adds another $1 to your bill, every month.
Vimeo OTT Starter also keeps 10% of one-time purchases. On Vodlix, subscription, rental, and ad revenue flows straight through your own payment gateway — you keep all of it.
Web, iOS and Android from Professional; Android TV and Fire TV from Business; Apple TV and Roku on Enterprise — built, submitted, and maintained under your own brand and developer accounts, included in your plan.
AES-128 encrypted HLS, geo-blocking and signed URLs are on every plan; Multi-DRM (Widevine + FairPlay) is included on Apps+ plans, subject to T&Cs — where Vimeo OTT gates DRM behind a paid Enterprise add-on.
Vodlix runs month-to-month. Vimeo OTT's Enterprise tier requires an annual subscription agreement — a bigger commitment if your business needs room to change course.
A dedicated specialist moves your catalog, metadata, and subscribers for free, and gives you a launch timeline — instead of leaving you to rebuild everything by hand.
Our step-by-step guide walks through migrating your Vimeo catalog, subscribers, branding, and apps to Vodlix — handled end to end by a dedicated specialist, at no cost.
Run any combination at once — with multi-currency pricing and support for Stripe, PayPal, and other global payment gateways. You keep 100% of what you charge.
Recurring monthly or annual plans with flexible tiers and free trial periods — no per-subscriber fee.
Transactional rentals and purchases for individual titles, courses, or events — with 0% taken off the top.
Free, ad-supported tiers that monetize viewers who aren't ready to subscribe.
Sell access to single live events — concerts, sermons, fitness classes, or sports — without a subscription.
All four models run on the same platform with unified analytics, so you can see exactly which mix of subscriptions, rentals, ads, and events drives your revenue.
Web, mobile, and TV apps built and submitted under your own brand and developer accounts.
Android
Security that ships with the plan — not a Vimeo-style Enterprise-only add-on.
Studio-grade DRM across every device, included on Apps+ plans, subject to T&Cs.
Every stream is encrypted and delivered through signed, expiring URLs — no raw video links exposed.
Restrict access by country, region, or IP range to match your licensing and distribution agreements.
Content is delivered through multiple CDN partners for resilience and consistent performance at scale.
Dedicated account management and priority support for mission-critical streaming businesses.
Sermons and live services, uploaded once.
AES-128 HLS, keyed at packaging time, delivered through tokenized, signed, expiring URLs.
The content path. Encrypted segments go out across 40+ CDN edges, up to 4K HDR. They travel in the open, and without a key they are noise.
The key path. The licence goes straight to the viewer, checked per viewer against geo-blocking and IP allow-list rules. Never through the CDN.
On Apps+ plans, Widevine and FairPlay decrypt in hardware, so the video is never exposed to the app or the file system. Screenshots and screen recording are blocked.
