Honestly there are some seriously important and major features existing in the enterprise plan that are missing from the pro plan... Which I'm sure many sumolings will find this deal less appealing to them including myself. To list a few:
1. Audience builder and Email automation
2. Video funnels aka branching
3. Floating video
4. API integration
Etc.
Couldn't you just keep the ONLY two differences between both plans restricted and limited to two things... The storage ... 5 gb vs 200 gb and regular bandwidth vs cdn turbo charged bandwidth ... And just include ALL other features and integrations into the Appsumo special pro plan? That would then be so awesome and many more of us will jump onboard! Please reconsider rhis. Thanks.
Hey Sumo-ling! Thanks for your comment, we appreciate it.
Here is a full comparison chart between the plans: https://docs.vooplayer.com/v3-users/license-information
At one-time pricing we do like to think we are offering tremendous value and a pretty great product, considering all you CAN do with vooPlayer. Thanks again for your comment!
I got 5TB storage for $49 from CloudApp a few days ago here at appsumo. You think 5MB for $79 is a deal?
without above mentioned features, all that can be done with other apps easily. i was looking for funnel personally, i guess I will buy Sonny's product COOLIX instead.
well links not allowed, and its not nice to post them , I still respect Appsumo, but you can search in FB group Funnel Hacker Pro or something like that...
I just bought it 5 minutes ago and hadn't seen the questions tab on this deal. Right after clicking the redemption link, I see that there is this Enterprise plan. LoL. I had no idea. Bad marketing!
Then, I came back here and noticed that there are 100 questions! Now, I am finding that the whole reason I bought the deal was to have integrations.
If those features are not added within the next day or so, I will be asking for a refund.
I had looked at vooplayer website and looked at their FAQ section link to the comparison chart but there was no mention of Pro Plan or Enterprise plan. Again, BAD marketing!
So sorry about this experience. Please fix this by adding the features of integrations. I don't care about storage.
Thanks,
Anil
Hey Sumo-ling! Integrations are included in the plan. You don't see the Pro plan on our website because this plan is not offered to the general public. We opened it up to AppSumo to allow people to use vooPlayer at a one-time price. Our day to day offer is Enterprise only on a recurring fee. Thanks!
It's funny, if there were no enterprise plan and the features of it didn't exist, I bet you would be satisfied with the deal.
And about Coolix, does that have funnel or floating video feature?
Can Coolix use videos from Youtube, google, dropbox etc?
I just tried the free version Coolix and it really don't do much.
You don't even need the hosting, it's more like a bonus, you can host the video many other free places, and there are no branding.
I was about to buy this deal right now but reading this I will not buy anymore, because almost ALL cool features of vooplayer are available only in ENTERPRISE... so the pro plan is too basic for my needs...
Please make a new deal maybe add more value but with a option to users buy the lifetime enterprise plan
I made the same mistake of going to their site and checking out all the cool features. Since there was no mention of a lesser plan, I assumed that the app sumo plan included what was featured on the site. I watched the 15-minute video and got crazy excited. came back to app sumo, got my wallet out and then I saw the questions. :( I'm pretty disappointed now. The funnels feature was the biggest draw for me.
checked VooPlayer website, and it seems that many good features not included with this deal, compared to what was offered previously in ltd by LTDF group that Tracy runs.
Hey Sumoling! Actually this deal is much cheaper than that and also includes - Chapter markers, Coupon box overlays, Full screen and half screen card overlays, Full screen optin form overlays, Note box overlays, Full screen text overlays, Overlay intro and outro animations which weren't offered in that deal
does it include security and analytics? also would be nice to have a chart to show which things not included from vooplayer features..like comparison appsumo deal vs whatever listed on their website.
From what I researched the features and the data limits are the same as the one run previously. The only difference would be the price - $79(AS) vs. $97 (previously).
Would be awesome if AS found a way to sweeten the pot (stacking to unlock enterprise, or increased storage, or more features). ^_~
Hi Sumo-ling! You can check our comparison charge here to see what is included in the Pro license: https://docs.vooplayer.com/v3-users/license-information
Thanks!
thanks for the link, so I see many of the enterprise features liek password protect or funnel are not included, this makes the deal only good to style videos with custom colors and a few other settings =(
Love vooplayer, great product and great company - if you don't have it definitely pick it up.
That said, let's keep things accurate, the lifetime deal we offered in LTDF fb group six months ago was the Pro plan with all the vooplayer features in this deal (see the chart Bill posted)! Thx :)
I have a Vooplayer V3 License with a one-time lifetime payment called the Gold-Plus account from 2 years ago. This has a limit of 135,000 views a month.
So from the information you gave me, I will be transferred to a Pro license v4 some time in the near future. And this seems to have UNLIMITED VIEWS A MONTH - correct? - plus ALL THE NEW FEATURES of the Pro License v4.
How do I stack a purchase then from this AppSumo deal if I haven't been transferred yet to the Pro License v4 account?
Thanks.
***UPDATE FROM THE VOOPLAYER TEAM***
The team at vooPlayer is thrilled to have this promotion start with such a bang. Hundreds and hundreds of Sumo-lings have already joined the vooPlayer platform and we are getting lots of great feedback from everyone. Thank you very much!
Based on your feedback we have made a few changes to this promotion that will make alot of people even more excited about vooPlayer.
All AppSumo customers who purchase our Pro plan will now get 2 Enterprise features unlocked automatically...the Password Protect feature and the Captions/Sub-titles features. You will still get 5GB of storage, and then when you set up your account you will get another 5GB of storage if you share the deal with your friends!
Further, any other coupons purchased will allow you to unlock one of the following:
1) 10GB of storage
2) Floating Video feature
3) Custom start/end times feature
This is already live right now, and also has been applied to any customers who have already purchased. If you have used a coupon already for storage, it will automatically give you the added 10GB instead of 5GB. If you used the coupon for storage and you want to use it for a feature, please contact the vooPlayer helpdesk.
A few other important notes....
If you have any feature requests, please visit this link to submit your idea and also to see what is coming up for vooPlayer: http://vooplayer.com/ideas
Every Tuesday we release a new version of vooPlayer. To read a summary of our updates, you can check our monthly release notes here: https://blog.vooplayer.com/category/product-updates
Thank you all and I hope you enjoy vooPlayer!
If we share with friends but no one buys, do we still get the extra 5gb?
Let's say I buy 7 codes and share w friends. Does that mean I get...
5gb base purchase + 5gb for sharing for 1st code
Custom start/stop times for 2nd code
Floating vid for 3rd code
10gb x 4 codes = 40gb + original 10gb = 50gb?
Since I am already on your yearly enterprise plan that has 50gb, will buying 7 codes provide me any benefit?
Am I essentially paying $79 x 7 codes for no benefit, since I already have all those features and more in my yearly payment enterprise plan?
In other words, is the lifetime deal worthless and wasted money if I continue paying for enterprise? If so, a lifetime deal seems to act only as a safety net if I ever decide to stop my yearly enterprise payment and downgrade to the lifetime deal I'd buy now through AppSumo, yes?
You get the 5GB when you share it. It doesn't matter whether anyone buys or not from your share.
If the Enterprise plan fits your needs better, the only reason I would recommend you buy a Pro license is if you ever cancel for some reason you would still have your Pro license.
P.S. You don't get 10GB for every extra coupon you buy. For every coupon you buy you have a choice of either the extra storage or one of the two features.
Example: I buy 3 coupons. First one I use for the account and share the deal, now I'm at 10GB. Next coupon I redeem for storage, now I'm at 20GB. Next coupon I redeem for Floating Video (and still at 20GB).
Yes, I know, but I'm talking about buy 7 codes:
1st code: 5gb base + 5gb share = 10gb
2nd code: floating vid, still at 10gb
3rd code: custom start/stop, still at 10gb
4th code: 10gb more, so 20 gb total now
5th code: 30gb total now
6th code: 40gb total now
7th code: 50gb total now
and so on...
Is that how the stacking works?
Thanks, Bill!
Since I currently have the Enterprise 50gb plan, if I stack enough AppSumo codes to get to say 100gb, will I be able to have all the Enterprise features but now 100gb (instead of only 50gb) for no additional monthly/yearly cost than I'm already paying?
YoungProdigy - As an Enterprise license holder yes you can buy 5 coupons and use them all for storage. And yes there would be no additional monthly fees.
Thanks, Bill. Sorry for all the questions, but I just need clarification before pulling the trigger, considering that I want to get a large number of codes.
1. If I buy 5 codes + share on FB, I can get 50gb. Is that 50gb on TOP of the current 50gb I currently have through Enterprise, so 100gb in total?
2. If I buy 5 codes + share and use them to increase my Enterprise storage right now, but then later, I downgrade to Pro, can re-arrange the use of those 5 codes?
So, instead of continuing to have all 5 codes be for 50gb storage, can I convert them into 3 codes for storage (30gb) and 2 codes for the floating video + custom start/stop features?
Storage is such a big issue because of your .m3u8 files literally make my uploads 4-5x the size of my source file in order to render it out in multiple resolutions.
3. I've been trying to reach your support through the LiveChat in the Vooplayer dashboard, but I have not gotten a response for many days.
Thanks!
wait so where are all marketing features again? password protect, subtitles, floating video agian not marketing just player fetaure...where are funnels? ads?
For previous deal buyers, the new features are unlocked to?, because inside my account still request to upgrade to a higher plan. Also, Is it possible to us stack codes to unlock floating video and customs start/end?
Super, I just hope that your servers can hold all the uploads... It looks like they have been overloaded a lot today.
@Bill, why did you not add "Custom start/end times feature" to the modification of this deal?
I though for sure such a fundamental feature would be added, but instead it's treated as if it's a premium, advanced feature. Since I'm asked to shell out another $79 for just this one feature. This seems way out of proportion.
I undertand you charge extra for features such as funnels etc, which are great value ads. But this is just a basic feature. It's like selling a car without window wipers for cheap, and then putting a very high premium price on just that one basic but important part :(
Disappointed by this.
I also sent an email to pre-sales about this, but they wouldn't budge.
Paul
Thank you for listening to the feedback and providing additional features. Definitely sweetens the deal. Made my purchase!!!
Thanks for the gesture we are getting closer although I expected a bit more. Can you at least add funnels as an upgrade? Coolix currently has funnels in their regular deal.
I already have the Pro lifetime, so no real use for that deal (except for extra space)...
But what I'm "afraid" is if you do like I've seen previously on other deals: you decide to send all your AppSumo subscribers a special link to buy the Enterprise lifetime version at a special price... I since I didn't buy it through AppSumo, I don't get that link/offer...
Do you plan on doing such thing...?
Also, this deal is suppose to include branding, but when I get to the Video page section to customize it (and remove Vooplayer's logo), it tells me it's an Enterprise feature... Does that deal unlocks that, or you're talking about a different feature?
I have bought an additional code, but do not know where to add it in VooPlayer dashboard to enjoy of the below features:
1) 10GB of storage
2) Floating Video feature
3) Custom start/end times feature
Thanks for your help.
Sherif
Doe this mean that in order to get Floating Video and Start/End Times I need to have 2 more codes? Wow! That would be expensive? $79 per feature
The 5 gb storage is a massive turn off for a video hosting platform. We are talking videos here the most storage consuming multimedia format out there so the storage is ridiculously low and simply won't be enough. And to stack that for a hefty 79 usd just to add more storage is not worthy for me. I'll pass unless vendor is willing to increase initial deal storage and add all other features in case any are missing as another sumoling has suggested in the comments below. Thanks
Hi Sumo-ling - thanks for your post. You don’t need to upload to their storage to use the app. They are compatible with Youtube links, Vimeo, Dropbox links, Google Drive, pCloud, Amazon S3, and others
Does this deal include ALL features and integrations? Or is there any of them that are missing ane that we don't have access to? Meaning in terms of features and integrations is this deal all inclusive and exaclty comparable to the enterprise one with the only difference being the 5 GB vs 200 GB storage?
a bigger turn off is now that good features only in enterprise plan such as funnels , and password protection
The Pro License V4 has pretty good features - such as adding CTA into the videos, stripping branding when you host your videos on YouTube but have users view it through Vooplayer, Protection of your Videos, Analytics, A/B testing, etc. The hosting limit of 5 GB won't even be touched if you host videos on a private YouTube channel, Google Drive, DropBox, Amazon S3, etc. but run the videos through Vooplayer.
This is a very generous offer if you know anything about the power of Vooplayer. They have been around for a while and continue to add value for their customers with their player. I have been using their player since 2015 and pay yearly for Enterprise. So they really don't need to prove themselves.
There are no other players that do all of the things that they do without paying the big bucks to a company like Wistia.
If you don't like the deal, continue to use the tired video players that you have been using. That is if you are even using one at all.
If any one recognizes 1/3 of the power of this player, they will make 10x's their money back quickly. The split testing, watch gating and audience segmentation is major.
Instead of trying to measure what your missing, use your imagination to think of ways to put this baby to work for you now!
I think you are missing the point...
Look I know they are a very powerful and robust and multi featured platform overall but this isn't enough for many sumolings who would like critical features to be integrated into the deal for their business success. Some of the missing features in the pro plan and that are only available in the enterprise plan and that I personally find a deal breaker for me and I'm sure many others agree with me ... Are the video funnel branching among several other ones such as password protection, pre and post roll ads, floating video and email automation.
Without the above features, our video marketing efforts will be dramatically hindered and lack major functions for the deal to make financial sense to us.
All what I hope for is that the founder of this otherwise amazing platform to unlock enterprise features exclusively for the Appsumo pro plan buyers to take full advantage of the vast array of features and integrations and they can keep the storage limit ... And restrict the turbo CDN bandwidth to the enterprise package.
That's very much feasible if the founders are serious about getting more users onboard and want this deal to be as successful to them as it is to us. Otherwise there's several other competition service providers offering more value for the bucks and also are LTD.
Sumo-ling
$79$ for only 5gb? and to stack to add more with such price? No thanks, stacking should at least give Enterprise level or way-way more storage. 5GB is like 2-3 videos. We, not kids, we marketers..common guys...videos take a lot of space LOL. Would have stacked maybe if the price was $49, but not at $79.
Sumo-ling
+1 for more storage and better deal
JeffLurie
Hey Sumo-ling! You don’t need to upload to their storage to use the app. They are compatible with Youtube links, Vimeo, Dropbox links, Google Drive, pCloud, Amazon S3, and others
Sumo-ling
I feel like there's a certain humour in telling users who want more storage in a video hosting deal to use a different video host (i.e. Vimeo, etc.). XD
Sumo-ling
Use any link from YouTube, Vimeo, AWS, Facebook, DropBox, etc.
The key with Vooplayer is that it acts as a middle layer which protects your video from copying. It allows you to add features to the video.
I notice there was no limit in the number of views on Vooplayer for this deal - or is there?
BillZimmerman
Yes there is no limit on views. Thanks for your question :)
BillZimmerman
Hi Sumo-ling - Thanks for much for your comment! Yes the limit on our Pro license is 5 GB. We have found many of our customer videos are actually less than 100 MB, in which case you would be able to upload more than 50 videos for the one-time price.
As noted by Jeff already, we do also allow you to use videos hosted in a variety of places. We call it our Hybrid Hosting technology. Check this article for a full list: https://docs.vooplayer.com/faqs/supported-video-formats-and-sources
One further note...we did add a little widget that allows you to add another 5GB to your plan for free if you share the deal with your friends :)
Thanks again for your comment!
YoungProdigy
But are the hybrid hosted videos protected by your anti-download protection?

We just got a deal (Webapp) for 5TB at $49 ....so yah, we don't think you got a good deal at all....
Sumo-ling
Thanks for reply, 100mb we never had videos like it. Most of our videos 500-700 mb for high quality videos.
Also, for hybrid videos such as Youtube, pCloud are all settings available or some are only exclusive to your hosted videos? Can a user download a video if I use Youtube hosted option?
5gb extra for sharing is nice, but at 5gb for $79 deal it is still a big issue. hope you can improve this deal especially for stacking. good luck!
tokmak76
Hi, what widget are you telling about (for additional 5GB)? I don't see it. Thanks
YoungProdigy
I am a paying Vooplayer enterprise member who pays yearly. 5gb is a joke. I upload a 1gb video, but it uses 3 to 4gb of their storage space because they render it out in multiple resolutions. You can't stop it from happening. So my 50gb storage was gone with about 15 hrs of 1080p video.
Sumo-ling
As a Videographer/Marketor, this is a very useful tool. To be honest, I don't really care about the 5GB as I can use YouTube as a host. The main features I would say are the customizable "skin" of the video player, the locking content, no ads and the BIGGEST feature of being able to see the success of the video or ways to improve by the analytics. To get this type of info you have to pay BIG bucks! If this isn't your main thing and you mainly want storage, then this is probably not for you. Otherwise, this is a GREAT Deal. Go look as Wistia's $99/month to compare what a great deal you are getting here.
BillZimmerman
Thanks Sumo-ling! Any questions or issues please do let us know. Thanks again!
Sumo-ling
but many setting do not work if videos hosted outside vooplayer..so not that good buddy...
BillZimmerman
Hi Sumo-ling - Just about every feature works with videos hosted on other platforms.
Sumo-ling
but not every. protection for example? what else? anyway..not good for video host tool to suggest use other hosts. for me now not even the size of 5gb an issue, but that funnels are not included and password protection. that was the only reason i checked VooPlayer before getting Coolix. thanks again
BillZimmerman
Basically just 2 things, HLS security and ability to download from the player. Here is an article explaining more: https://docs.vooplayer.com/faqs/benefits-of-hybrid-hosting
Sumo-ling
guys not only 5gb, but many features that are cool and unique such as funnels, password protect, pre-after ad roll not included. at least include those with stacking + option to upgrade to enterprise at anytime in future..that would at least make deal more or less good. leave cdn and 200gb for enterprise plans, but include other things..so at least vooplayer will be useful and not just a visual styler for videos
Sumo-ling
what the benefits of buying coolix over vooplayer
Sumo-ling
If you're right partner in the end has been in a good video player. But it is not a very useful tool for we marketers. The Powerful Vooplayer has been told the eggs have left him like a eunuch. :-(

Oups I didn't read that 5GB. Thats really stupid deal for videos.
Sumo-ling
I use vidello, no limit. ;)
Sumo-ling
The same here :-)
Sumo-ling
BUT--VOO is slow...I have used it....the time it takes to play a video makes people turn it off.
I'd like them to show a test between YT, Vimeo and Wistia
Sumo-ling
This taco has no stuff and spices. 5GB deal is hillarious, how did it happen on appsumo.
ofis
Hi there! Since we use and create a lot of videos for customers, may I remind you that you also have the option to use a solid desktop-based (preferably using hardware accelerator) compression programs? When customers send us videos like 1080 P - 250 MB, we try to compress them to at least %50, without compromising the quality.
Cheers,
Shadouness
Hi ofis, I'm interested: what settings do you use for compression? And what program? I prefer Handbrake, but maybe you have a better one?
Thanks!
