Uscreen is the Vimeo OTT alternative for anyone who wants to scale their VOD business with a robust platform that enables them to grow and doesn’t charge revenue-share.
Vimeo is a sizeable conglomerate that prioritizes making money over anything.
And as a 25-person company, we here at Uscreen have all the time in the world (and none of the pressure) to be able to put your needs first and charge you fairly for it.
We built a VOD platform based on real content creator needs and treat our users like the valued client that they are, making Uscreen the leading platform on the market.
Our love for VOD and video entrepreneurship shows in everything we do. With Uscreen, you can launch your video-streaming website and OTT apps, manage your audience and market your video service all in one platform for a flat monthly fee.
Vimeo OTT has a complicated revenue-share pricing model, which means the more money you generate, the more money you have to pay them. At Uscreen, we believe in fair pricing that is affordable, consistent and expected, not matter how much you make.
Vimeo OTT makes it notoriously hard to migrate to any other VOD or OTT platform. By making users sign 2-4 year contracts and by limiting access to audience data, Vimeo OTT users are virtually locked-in. At Uscreen, we never make you sign any contracts, meaning you can leave us whenever you want (although we think you’ll want to stay).
Uscreen OTT branded apps are engineered to match the advanced needs of today’s consumers. Fast loading times, sleek design and superior user experience are just some of the reasons why Uscreen apps are snatching 5-star reviews across platforms and devices. With Uscreen, you can launch iOS, Android, Roku, Android TV, tvOS and Fire TV in a matter of weeks.
When it comes to designing your video streaming website, our brand takes a back-seat so yours can shine! Our beautiful and customizable 12+ templates were designed and built in-house with the single goal of helping you sell more videos and enhance viewer-experience. They are also SEO-friendly and conversion-optimized.
Owning your audience is a right, not a privilege. While Vimeo OTT withholds your audience data to keep you from migrating your business away, we at Uscreen make it a point to give you full access and ownership of your audience, because you’ve earned it. You can instantly export all your audience data from the Uscreen admin area as a CSV file.
Uscreen is the most feature-packed VOD platform on the market! Our platform offers you an entire built-in marketing suite full of very effective and easy-to-use tools to help you increase conversions, engage your audience, reduce your churn and make more money. And if you need a tool that you can’t find on our platform, you can connect to it in a matter of minutes.
Your success is our success. That’s why we ensure our clients 24/7 email support and phone support Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm EDT. All Uscreen support team members are based in the United States and are extensively trained to help you solve any issue and jump and hurdle seamlessly.
Accept and process payments on your VOD website and OTT apps using Paypal or credit card with Uscreen. Vimeo OTT does not give you the option to use Paypal, which we have found to account for 30% of all processed payments on Uscreen hosted websites and apps.
