Wistia charges by the number of videos: 20 on Plus, 50 on Pro, 250 on Advanced. If you shoot daily or manage multiple client projects, you will hit the ceiling fast. STRIMY charges by storage in GB — no caps on how many files you have.
- Unlimited videos on every STRIMY plan
- Pay only for the storage you use
- Wistia Plus allows only 20 videos at $19/mo
Client delivery galleries Wistia simply does not have
Wistia is a video marketing tool. It has no native gallery or portfolio feature for delivering finished work to clients under your own brand. STRIMY was built for exactly that — a password-protected gallery with your logo, colours and design for every project.
- Custom logo, colours and design per project
- Password-protected per-client gallery
- Not available on any Wistia plan
Know who watched, when, and for how long
STRIMY provides per-video analytics on all plans: watch time, percentage watched, country, device and referrer for every view. Wistia reserves advanced analytics for higher-tier plans. With STRIMY you get full data from day one.
- Watch time and percentage watched per viewer
- Country, device and referrer breakdown
- Included on all plans — no upgrade required
Why choose STRIMY over Wistia?
Wistia is a video marketing tool. STRIMY is designed for professional client delivery.
No video count limit

Client portfolios included
STRIMY includes delivery galleries with your logo, colours and custom design. Wistia has no native portfolio or delivery gallery feature for handing work off to clients.
Private delivery with password
STRIMY offers per-folder passwords, expiring signed URLs and per-client view analytics. Wistia is oriented to marketing, not professional private delivery.

When to choose STRIMY over Wistia
Wistia is for marketing. STRIMY is for client delivery.
Videographers and photographers
You upload many videos across different projects. You'd hit Wistia's limit quickly. STRIMY does not limit the number of videos.
Branded delivery
You need clients to see your logo and brand — not a third-party platform's. STRIMY includes customised delivery galleries, Wistia does not.
Creative agencies
You manage multiple client projects with many videos. Wistia charges more the more videos you have. STRIMY charges for the space you use, not how many files you have.
