If your goal is to privately host your finished work and beautifully present it to your client, VodSpot does just that: a branded delivery page, download of the exact original, password and link expiration date—and no monthly traffic limits.

In Brief: What to Choose
Choose VodSpot if:
- you are a videographer, studio, or agency delivering finished films to clients;
- the client needs to both view and download the master file;
- you don't want to monitor monthly traffic and receive "upgrade to Enterprise" emails;
- you need a delivery page per project — or a separate one for each recipient — with several videos, a cover photo, and your logo.
Vimeo may be a better fit if:
- you need live streams, webinars, or video monetization;
- you are building a public video presence with a community and comments;
- you need marketing features: in-player lead forms, CRM integration.

Key Difference: Traffic
A popular video shouldn't turn into a sales email
Vimeo has a 2 TB monthly traffic limit on all self-serve plans. If you regularly exceed it, Vimeo offers an upgrade to an individual Enterprise plan. For a studio that delivers a 4K film to a client, and the client then sends it to their entire family or department, this is a completely realistic scenario.
At VodSpot, plans are based on storage capacity. There are no overage charges during normal use: the more views your work receives, the better—for both you and us.
Project Delivery, Not Just Hosting
The page where the client receives the entire work
At Vimeo, the video lives in the library, and the client is sent a link to the video or showcase. At VodSpot, delivery is at the center: a page per project — or a separate one for each recipient — containing all final versions, your cover image, a message to the client, and download buttons.
- Watch in 4K in your browser—immediately, without downloading.
- Download the exact original—the same file you exported.
- You see when the page is opened, what people have watched and downloaded, and receive a download notification.
