Fair-priced by design

Most video platforms bill by seats, tiers, and custom quotes. We charge only for infrastructure — from €10 a month.
See what it costs for your setup →
Infrastructure owned end-to-end

Storage and bandwidth are unlimited on paid plans, because our 180+ PoP CDN, encoder, and player are all built in-house. We don't do reseller margins on your bill.

Pay-as-you-go

You pay per GB: from €0.03 for both storage and delivery, with rates dropping at volume. Transcoding is a one-time charge at upload (and repeats only on replacement). That's it, and rates have held for years.

Features built into the stack

DRM, white-label, full API, analytics — all built into the same interface, tied together in one product. Essentials are essential, so nothing needs its own plan.

Built for scale. Proven in production.

99.98% uptime SLA

Enterprise-grade reliability for video that can’t go down.

Worldwide servers

Multi-layered caching, intelligent routing, CMAF, and LL-HLS for lag-free streaming.

73M+ videos hosted

5M minutes per day. And counting.

10,000+ live streams via API

Schedule, stream, restream — all automated.

Code your own video experience

API-first video infrastructure, ready to plug into your product.

Media API

A flexible, full-featured API for uploading, transcoding (up to 4K), protecting, and accelerating content. Automate uploads from your own system, or build a full video layer for your product on top of Kinescope.

SDK Toolkit

Ready-to-use SDKs in Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React, and Vue — all open source, with demo cases at hand. Fork a demo and adapt it to your product.

Integration

Pre-built connectors for Moodle, WordPress, Zoom, and other tools you probably already use. Webhooks surface video events, and an auth backend routes playback access through your own system.

Where video meets complete control

Control both how the player looks and who can see what's inside.

Customization

Every detail adapts to you: from the player's appearance to its integration into your workflow.

Privacy

DRM, watermarks, domain and access restrictions, and integration with your own auth backend — your content is protected on all fronts.

And that's not all we offer…

Explore full suite of tools to power up every step of your video journey.

Need to migrate from Vimeo, YouTube, or any other service?

Vimeo's storage and delivery caps are real. So is the Enterprise plan you need just to turn on DRM. None of that lives in Kinescope — storage and bandwidth are unlimited, and DRM is included in every paid plan. For the rest, see the full breakdown.

Coming from YouTube? You gain DRM, a full set of access restrictions, and a branded, ad-free player.

The move itself is on us — free on Super and Mega plans. We'll pull your library across (all metadata preserved) and set you up on our side. It is usually done in a week or less.

FAQ

Can’t find the answer you need? Check out our Help Center.

Can I use Kinescope for free?

Yes. The Free plan gives you 100 minutes of stored video and 200 GB of monthly CDN traffic. Live streams are capped at 20 minutes and 20 concurrent viewers. No card and trial expiration — Free stays free.

How does billing work, and can I get a surprise invoice?

You pay per GB: from €0.03 for both storage and delivery, with rates dropping at volume. Invoices arrive at the start of the following month, and usage is visible live in the dashboard. The rate you sign up on holds at renewal, and you can cancel at any time.

Where is my data stored?

All video data is stored in the EU. Kinescope B.V. is a Netherlands-registered company, and the platform is GDPR-compliant by default. Delivery happens through our 180+ PoP CDN globally, but master files stay within EU jurisdiction.

What happens to my videos if I stop paying?

Videos don't go dark when you cross plan limits — playback continues, and we reach out before anything gets restricted. If you cancel a paid plan, the account moves to Free tier.

How does migration from Vimeo or another platform work?

Assisted migration is free on Super and Mega plans. We pull your library with metadata preserved — titles, descriptions, thumbnails, tags — and coordinate the embed-code swap so nothing goes dark on your site. Typical projects finish in under a week. Full Vimeo breakdown on kinescope vs vimeo.

Can I import videos from YouTube?

Yes — a built-in integration lets you import from YouTube yourself, directly from the dashboard. Free on any plan.

Does it work with my LMS or CMS?

Yes — ready-made integrations cover Moodle, iSpring, Teachable, Udemy, Canvas, Webflow, Tilda, and WordPress. For any other service, our REST API handles upload, embed, playback events, and access control without a plugin rewrite.

What is DRM, and what does it actually protect?

DRM (Digital Rights Management) encrypts the video stream and delivers a decryption key only to authorized devices during playback. It also blocks screen recording at the OS level: attempts to capture turn the video to black or trigger an error, so viewers can't save or re-upload the file. Between Widevine (Chrome, Android, smart TVs) and FairPlay (Safari, iOS), nearly every consumer device is covered. For an added layer, dynamic watermarks burn the viewer's ID into every frame, making any leaked copy traceable.

What's support like?

Every plan, including Free, gets chat and email support. Mega includes a named account manager and a written SLA covering both support response and infrastructure uptime.

What analytics do you provide?

The dashboard updates live: real-time viewer counts, player loads, and retention graphs with view percentages that show where each video loses its audience. Traffic breaks down by country, referrer, device, and browser, all filterable by time period.
