No fee per subscriber
Vimeo OTT Starter costs $1 a month for every subscriber. RentAnOTT tiers include 10,000 to 200,000+ monthly active users, so your bill doesn't scale with your success.
Apps without an enterprise contract
On Vimeo OTT, branded apps come with the Enterprise plan. With RentAnOTT you add only the screens you need — Android from $149, or a full Android + iOS bundle for $299.
Keep your one-time sales
Vimeo OTT Starter takes 10% of one-time purchases. RentAnOTT takes no cut of rentals or purchases; you pay your payment provider and nothing more.
Ads on every plan
Run subscriptions, rentals, purchases and advertising (AVOD) from one catalog on every tier, with trials, coupons, bundles and regional pricing.
Live without moving up
Vimeo OTT Starter is for pre-recorded video. RentAnOTT adds live channels and events to Launch for $119/month and includes them from Growth.
We migrate you
Catalog migration, payment and analytics integrations, app-store submission and CMS training are part of the launch, not a project you run alone.
Which one is right for you?
Choose RentAnOTT if
- You have more than a couple of hundred subscribers, or expect to soon
- You want branded mobile or TV apps at a published price
- You sell with ads, rentals or purchases as well as subscriptions
- Your content is licensed and needs DRM

Vimeo OTT may suit you if
- You're testing a web-only offer with fewer than about 170 subscribers
- You'd rather pay per subscriber than a fixed monthly fee

Have a question about your setup?
What is the best Vimeo OTT alternative?
It depends on why you're leaving. If the $1 per-subscriber fee, the 10% cut of one-time sales, or needing an Enterprise quote for apps, live and ads is the reason, RentAnOTT is built for that: flat tiers with thousands of active users included and published prices for apps, live and DRM. If you only need a small web test with no fixed fee, Vimeo OTT Starter is hard to beat.
Is RentAnOTT cheaper than Vimeo OTT?
For a web-only service, yes above roughly 170 subscribers. Vimeo OTT Starter costs $1 per subscriber, so 5,000 subscribers costs $5,000/month. RentAnOTT Launch costs $169/month, or around $350/month at that size including bandwidth. Below about 170 subscribers, Vimeo OTT Starter is cheaper. Vimeo OTT Enterprise pricing isn't published, so compare a quote from each.
Does Vimeo OTT Starter include apps and live streaming?
No. Vimeo's pricing page lists Starter as web-only and for pre-recorded video. Branded apps, live events, linear channels, advertising and DRM are listed under Enterprise. RentAnOTT prices each app per platform and includes live from Growth.
Can I move my subscribers from Vimeo OTT to RentAnOTT?
Yes. You export your customer list from Vimeo OTT and we import it, then plan the billing switch and sign-in so active subscribers keep access. Card details held by your payment provider and app-store subscriptions need their own plan, which we map out with you before cutover.
How long does switching from Vimeo OTT take?
A configured service can be live within days once your content and requirements are ready. The full timeline depends on catalog size, integrations, subscriber migration and app-store review.
