Just had to comment on it. Whoever wrote the copy for your site and was confident enough to brand so bold, did good. This is the type of company you don't forget and like to share with others. I think yall are going to do really well.

A: We're very safe. The original founders of StreamYard have backed Livid with $10m of funding: https://www.netinfluencer.com/video-startup-livid-raises-10m-usd-from-streamyard-founders-targets-vimeo-users-with-new-hosting-platform/
Most of the team are from StreamYard and are very experienced with building video based products and scaling startups.
Q: Is 500 GB the maximum without the option to upgrade?
Livid sounds good and also looks good, but I still can't see any reason for myself to switch from Vimeo to Livid. With Vimeo, I get a full 2 TB of storage for 8 EUR. With 500 GB at Tier 2, you really won't get far. So theoretically, I would need 4 Tier 2 subscriptions to reach 2 TB. For the same price, I can use Vimeo for 4 years. Apart from the multilingual user interface, GDPR compliance, etc. Could you please explain this a bit more clearly?

A: Hey, I can totally understand where you're coming from and on the face of it you're right. However things are likely to change for you on Vimeo very soon.
Vimeo was acquired recently and is VERY LIKELY to increase your price. They haven't fully rolled out the increase yet, so you may be lucky and retain your price for another year. We have a detailed overview of this here:...
Does it have analytics to know where views are coming from? Perhaps even UTM tags or something if used on multiple sites or pages?
Also, bummer its not GDPR compliant with EU servers. Big opportunity missed as my first usecase would have been for a 100+ company :/
No plans to add that at all?

A: Hey, Yes, we have analytics for every video, with traffic source identification. It's currently on a per video basis, but we will be adding a global view soon, which will be available to AppSumo users.
While our servers are US based, our provider is fully GDPR compliant, covered under the DPF for "Non-HR Data".
Q: What usually makes Vimeo users switch to Livid? Also, do you have a quick demo video available?

A: Hey Ali, Vimeo was recently acquired and is currently in the process of transitioning users to new plans with much higher prices. Some users who have been paying less than $10 per month for 15 years will see their price increase by over 500%. We have a blog on it here: https://livid.com/blog/vimeo-price-increase-2026-a-complete-breakdown-of-the-new-plans-and-forced-upgrades/
Q: Yall have great branding!
