Why STRIMY instead of Vimeo?
Vimeo is great for publishing videos. STRIMY is designed for delivering finished work to clients under your own brand.
Portfolios Vimeo doesn't have
STRIMY gives you complete delivery galleries with your logo, colours and custom design. Vimeo has no equivalent feature — just individual video pages.
No bandwidth cap
Vimeo Standard caps bandwidth at 2 TB/month. STRIMY has no playback limit: your clients can watch their videos as many times as they want with no extra charges.
Links with automatic expiration
STRIMY generates signed URLs that expire automatically on the date you choose. Vimeo Standard does not offer this feature — essential for professional deliveries.
More accessible pricing
Vimeo Standard costs ~€240/year with limited analytics and no portfolios. STRIMY offers full client delivery functionality at a lower price.
When to choose STRIMY over Vimeo
If your work ends up in a client's hands, STRIMY is the right tool
Weddings, events and commercials
Deliver client videos in a branded portal with their name and colours. Password per project, expiring link and analytics showing when they watched it.
Freelance videographers and photographers
Stop sending Vimeo links with Vimeo's logo on the player. With STRIMY, clients see your brand — not a third-party platform's.
Agencies and creative teams
Manage multiple client projects in separate folders, each with its own password and design. Vimeo has no equivalent client-delivery organisation capability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before switching from Vimeo
What is the best alternative to Vimeo for videographers?
STRIMY is the best Vimeo alternative for videographers and creative professionals who deliver work to clients. Unlike Vimeo, STRIMY offers branded client delivery portfolios, unlimited playback bandwidth, and signed URLs with automatic expiration — all from the entry plan. There is no equivalent in Vimeo Standard.
Why are videographers leaving Vimeo in 2026?
Vimeo raised prices significantly after its acquisition by Bending Spoons and pivoted toward AI tools for content creators, moving away from the needs of professional videographers. The Standard plan (~€240/year) caps bandwidth at 2 TB/month and has no branded client delivery galleries — a critical gap for freelancers and agencies.
Is STRIMY cheaper than Vimeo?
Yes. STRIMY offers full professional client delivery functionality — branded portfolios, unlimited bandwidth, signed URLs with expiration, and per-video analytics — at a lower price than Vimeo Standard (~€240/year), with a free trial and no credit card required.
Does Vimeo have branded client delivery galleries?
No. Vimeo does not offer branded client delivery galleries on any plan. You can share individual video links, but there is no portfolio or gallery feature to present finished work to clients under your own brand and colours. STRIMY was built specifically to fill this gap.
Can I try STRIMY for free before committing?
Yes. STRIMY offers a free trial with no credit card required. You get full access to all professional features — branded client portfolios, private password-protected delivery, unlimited playback bandwidth, and per-video analytics — during the trial period.
