In their words

  • “Vimeo suddenly told us we had to pay 20× more. With Kinescope we save at least €10,000 a year — and get more stability for free. With Vimeo, we ran into downtime a couple of times a year. With Kinescope, I really can't remember the last time it happened”

    Mathijs de RuiterCo-founder, JoJoschool
    Read the case study
  • “The pricing Kinescope offered on standard rates gave us more flexibility to reinvest our resources into other matters, like the direct work with children in our shelter, or case-management costs for victims”

    Ysrael C. DiloyChild Protection Specialist, Stairway Foundation

  • “Kinescope took the migration we'd been dreading off our hands, and we're paying 75% less than on Vimeo. Three months in, we've got no problems to report — and for me, no news means it's working”

    Hikaro QueirozDirector of Pedagogy and Operations, Conted Tech
    Read the case study
  • “With Kinescope we get a convenient API, a human touch, stable performance, and fair prices. We worked out the cost up front, and on our volumes it came out about 8× cheaper than Kaltura”

    Denis KorovkinLMS team lead, EBAC
    Read the case study
  • “With Kinescope, we pay five times less than we did on Vimeo for the same volume of video and consumption, and the line to the team is much more direct and much faster”

    Felipe Do Espirito SantoHead of Technology, Proz Educação
