- How is storage counted?
- By the size of each video file you upload, the same way Vimeo and Wistia count it, so you can compare plans directly. An hour of HD video is usually 2 to 4 GB; 4K is much larger. Very small files, like compressed screen recordings, count as at least 1 GB per hour.
- Are AI captions really included?
- Yes. Every video you upload gets AI captions and transcript search on every plan, including Free. You can edit them, or upload your own caption files and bring captions over from Vimeo, Wistia, or Skiv.
- What happens if my videos get watched more than my plan includes?
- Your videos keep playing; we never cut you off when a video takes off. When you choose a plan, you pick what happens past your monthly viewing: we charge $0.05 per GB of extra viewing ($50 per TB) when the month ends, or we move you up to the next plan (prorated), and you stay there. We email you at 80%, 90% and 100%, so nothing is a surprise. An hour of HD viewing is about 1.3 GB.
- What if I stream a lot more than that?
- If you stream more than 10 TB a month, Enterprise includes storage and viewing sized to you at a lower rate per TB. Use the Talk to us button above and we'll send a price within one business day.
- What if something goes wrong?
- Your originals are stored durably and backed up to a separate account in another region; deleted videos can be restored for 30 days; and we monitor everything every minute. You can also export your whole library anytime. Details are on our security page (vidreef.com/security).
- How does the referral credit work?
- Every account gets a share link. While you're on a paid plan, each time someone who signed up with your link pays for their plan, 25% of it comes off your next bill, for as long as they're a customer. Enough referrals cover your bill entirely; credit beyond your bill doesn't carry over or pay out as cash.
- How do seats work?
- A seat is one person in your workspace. Everyone shares the same videos, and each person gets a role: admins manage settings and people, editors upload and organize, and viewers watch and see analytics. Pro includes 3 seats and Business includes 10; Business can add more for $10 a month each ($96 a year on yearly billing).
- Can I switch or cancel any time?
- Yes. Switching plans is prorated. Cancelling keeps your plan until the end of the period you paid for, then moves you to Free. Your videos stay put.
