Which one should you pick?
Pick MASV if
You’re building around production teams. MASV is the pro choice for sending genuinely massive files — terabyte interview rushes, raw camera footage, multi-track stems — without the 50GB cap that strangles WeTransfer. Pay-as-you-go at $0.
Pick Vimeo Showcase if
You’re building around branded video galleries. Vimeo Showcase is the gallery feature that lets you turn a set of videos into an ad-free, embeddable portfolio. It's a feature within Vimeo plans rather than a standalone product, fully customisable starts at the Standard tier ($25/month annual).
