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 - You run live channels or events alongside VOD ### 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 - You need Roku, Xbox or Vizio apps ## Switching from Vimeo OTT 1. **Map your Vimeo OTT setup.** On a demo we review your catalog, plans, apps and audience size, and give you a fixed monthly quote. 2. **Migrate your catalog.** We move videos, artwork, metadata, collections and pricing into the RentAnOTT CMS. 3. **Move your subscribers.** We import your member list and plan the billing cutover and sign-in so access continues without a gap. 4. **Launch your apps.** Your branded web, mobile and TV apps go live under your name, with store submission handled for you.

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. ## Book a demo Tell RentAnOTT what you are launching.
