Which one should you pick?
Pick Vidyard if
You’re building around b2b video outreach. Vidyard pivoted hard into sales-team video over the last few years and the pricing reflects it, Starter at $59/user/month, Teams at $99/user/month, Enterprise on quote. Best for B2B sales teams sending personalised video to prospects; expensive overkill for content podcast workflows.
Pick WeTransfer if
You’re building around occasional senders. WeTransfer used to be the universal file-transfer link — drop a 2GB file, send a link, done. The free tier got slashed (10 transfers and 3GB per 30 days, files expire in 3 days) and the old Pro plan is gone.
