Tree $72 ($95): 1 TB storage, 12 TB/year, $0.08/GB. Forest $195 ($295): 2 TB storage, 24 TB/year, $0.06/GB.

What works
- The privacy controls are the deepest in this roundup. Password protection, domain-locked embeds, viewer logs and two-factor authentication are included on every tier, with dynamic watermarks, viewer SSO and geo or IP limits on higher tiers. If the video has to stay private, begin the search with SproutVideo.
- The analytics actually help. Engagement heatmaps and per-viewer tracking show exactly how far each person watched, what they rewatched and where they dropped, which is genuinely useful for telling whether the footage holds attention.
- It is a mature, well-supported company. SproutVideo has run since 2010, carries a deep review base (Capterra 4.8 across roughly 188 reviews, G2 about 4.6 across 187) and staffs support with real people. On reliability it is one of the safer picks here.
- Fair starting price and a real trial. Seed is $12 a month on annual billing with white-label, ad-free playback and the marketing tools included, and the 30-day trial needs no card up front.
What to watch
- Bandwidth is metered, with per-GB charges beyond the included allowance. Cap your usage before you launch anything public.
- The gaps between plans are large. A single missing feature or a little more bandwidth can force an expensive upgrade, and one G2 reviewer called the jump to the next pricing tier steep.
- It is a private business host. Buyer-split retention, VSL autoplay and cart-verified sale attribution require a conversion player for a cold-traffic offer.
- Public-facing customization is shallower than some want. Reviewers ask for per-video and per-playlist styling the platform does not expose, and changing settings across a big library one video at a time is slow.
Pricing questions
- How much does SproutVideo cost?
- The panel at the top shows the cheapest way in, and the section under it lists each plan and what it includes.
- Is there a free plan or trial?
- Check the plans above; we note any free trial and the date we last checked it.
- Will the price change as I scale?
- Often, yes. A bill based on plays, attendees, bandwidth or storage rises with usage, so the headline price is only the starting point.
