Frequently asked

Is ClipCast a cheaper Vidyard alternative?+

Significantly. ClipCast Pro is $5/month; Vidyard’s paid plans start around $59/user/month. If what you want is to record a personal demo, share a link, and see who watched, ClipCast covers that core loop for a fraction of the price. Vidyard is built for larger sales orgs that need deep CRM workflows.

Does ClipCast track who watched my video?+

Yes. Every shared clip records views, so you can tell which prospects opened your demo and re-watched it — the same signal sales reps use Vidyard for, without the per-seat enterprise pricing.

What does Vidyard do that ClipCast doesn’t?+

Vidyard goes deeper on sales/marketing infrastructure: custom in-video CTAs, native CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce), and team analytics. If your sales motion is built around those, Vidyard earns its price. ClipCast focuses on fast recording and frictionless link sharing.

Can I use ClipCast for sales outreach?+

Yes — record a personal demo for a prospect, paste the link in your outreach email, and watch the views to time your follow-up. See our sales use-case page for the workflow.
