Traffic
Pay for storage, not per view
At SproutVideo, each plan includes traffic equal to the storage: 150 GB on Seed, 400 GB on Sprout, 1 TB on Tree. Anything above that is billed per gigabyte. When a client shares a 4K film with the entire team, the bill increases with the video's popularity.
At VodSpot, there is no charge for exceeding the traffic limit during normal usage. A popular work is good news, not an extra bill.
Delivery instead of a library
A page where the client gets everything at once
SproutVideo does a great job of organizing libraries and video sites. VodSpot organizes project delivery: one page with cover art, message, and all final versions, 4K viewing in the browser, download of exact originals, and an email to you when the files are downloaded.
Originals included
Master file for the client — no extra settings
In VodSpot, the original is always saved, and the plan space is calculated based on the size of the uploaded file — without separately accounting for all streaming versions. The client watches the optimized stream and downloads exactly what you exported.
