Why Streaming Businesses Switch From Vimeo OTT to Vodlix
A flat price, apps with a price tag, and every revenue model
Vimeo OTT is quick to start because Starter has no platform fee. But the bill grows by $1 with every subscriber, Starter streams to the web only, and live video, ads and apps all sit on a quote-only Enterprise plan. Vodlix publishes every plan and every price.
Your Bill Stops Growing With Your Audience
Vimeo OTT Starter costs $1 per subscriber per month, so 2,000 subscribers means $2,000 every month. Vodlix web plans are a flat $99, $299 or $499, whatever your subscriber count.
Apps Without an Enterprise Contract
Vimeo OTT Starter is web only. On Vodlix, iOS and Android apps are included from Professional ($1,550/mo), Android TV and Fire TV from Business, and Apple TV and Roku on Enterprise.
Ads, Live and DRM on Published Plans
Advertising (AVOD) runs on every Vodlix web plan, and live streaming, 24/7 linear channels and multi-DRM come with every Apps+ plan. On Vimeo OTT, each of these needs Enterprise.

Vimeo OTT vs Vodlix, Plan by Plan
Verified October 2026
Every Vimeo OTT figure below comes from Vimeo’s OTT pricing page, checked on 20 October 2026. Vodlix figures are the plans on our pricing page. For the full fee breakdown, read our Vimeo OTT pricing guide.
What Vimeo OTT Costs as You Grow
Vimeo OTT Starter has no platform fee, which makes it cheap for a very small audience. The price is $1 per subscriber every month plus 10% of rentals and purchases, so the bill rises with every sign-up. Vodlix web plans are a flat monthly fee, and payments go through your own gateway.
Worked Example: 1,000 Subscribers on the Web
Take a web-only subscription service with 1,000 paying subscribers. On Vimeo OTT Starter that is 1,000 × $1 = $1,000 every month, before the 10% on any rentals. Vodlix Grow covers it at a flat $299 with 5 TB of bandwidth a month. At 5,000 subscribers Vimeo Starter is $5,000 a month, while Vodlix Scale stays at $499 with 25 TB.
Apps on Every Screen, Without a Quote
Vimeo OTT Starter is web only. Its apps for phones and TVs come with Enterprise, which is priced by quote. Vodlix builds your branded apps and publishes them in the app stores under your name, on plans with a published price.
Live Video, Ads and Content Protection
On Vimeo OTT Starter you can only sell pre-recorded video. Live events, a 24/7 linear channel, advertising and DRM are Enterprise features. On Vodlix, ads run on every web plan, and live streaming, linear channels and multi-DRM come with every Apps+ plan.

Who is Vimeo OTT a good fit for?
Vimeo OTT Starter suits a creator testing a small, web-only subscription idea, because there is no platform fee and bandwidth is included. It gets expensive as the audience grows, and it does not cover apps, live video or ads. Businesses that need those, or expect thousands of subscribers, usually pay less on a flat-priced platform.
