If I would be an investor, I would definitly go with it. It's ui is very solid and it has everything you need. Even image Pros Gumlet being an all-in-one tool for everything about video. Like VIMEO but better. Custom domain, manage response headers and origin reuest headers for images. Man, it's great!! Cons I don't think I've found a single thing in Gumlet to not like. But if I have to name 1 thing, it might be missing integration with Pabbly. But it has API and webhook so not really a problem :) Alternatives considered [Adilo](https://www.capterra.com/p/212725/Adilo/)[Publitio](https://www.capterra.com/p/215290/Publitio/) Reason for choosing Gumlet Much better overal tooling and usability. Gumlet is just a polished gem! Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) the distance from the tool to the end user feels "to far away". I want real people behind the support when it's needed. Review Source BB Blaine B. Owner - Manager Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "High-Quality and Robust Security Video Hosting Made Easy" January 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Gumlet has been very robust. The platform is simple to understand and manage, which is crucial for anyone looking to streamline their content hosting needs. The combination of a clean UI, flexible usage policy, and high-quality storage options makes it a strong contender in the video hosting market. I find it to be a highly effective solution that meets my needs without breaking the bank, especially given the unlimited streaming feature. I would definitely recommend Gumlet to anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly video hosting service. Pros One of the standout features of Gumlet is its user interface. It’s incredibly clean and perfectly navigable, making it easy to find what you need without any hassle. I also appreciate their straightforward usage policy, which allows for hosting in minute increments. This feature simplifies the process of managing video content and makes it easy to calculate costs. Additionally, the platform supports storage of videos at up to 4K resolution, which is fantastic for maintaining high-quality content. The plan I’m on also offers unlimited streaming of videos, making it an extremely cost-effective solution compared to other major video platforms. Also I have member videos that I am hosting with Gumlet which need to be secured. In my experience Gumlet offers probably the most robust security of all the hosting platforms. Cons This is maybe not fair to call a con because I bought knowing it wasn't a feature and not offered as one. However, while Gumlet excels in many areas, I would like to see an expansion in their storage capabilities. Currently, they offer facilities for video and image storage, but I believe adding PDF storage would enhance the platform's versatility and usability. This addition would be particularly beneficial for users who need to manage a variety of content types in one place. Switched from [Amazon S3](https://www.capterra.com/p/174285/Amazon-S3/) I needed better security for my vids and S3 was sometimes quite cumbersome to use. Review Source TB Tim B.

They have answered all my questions along the way which hasn't been my experience with some other platforms I've used. Pros After several months of use, I really appreciate how fast the videos load. I'm able to customize video players and maintain branding. There are no other videos to distract viewers from my content like other platforms. Cons The streaming is a work in progress compared to other platforms. However, that wasn't my reason for using the tool so it doesn't deter me. Alternatives considered [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Reason for choosing Gumlet Personalization for branding and great deal when purchased. Review Source WLC Way Leong C. Manager Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Gumlet Review after 1 month" January 8, 2025 4.0 Overall experience was good, because the main purpose of Gumlet was used to host videos on our website. Pros I like the video cdn bandwidth and DRM protection feature where we can secure our video content and speed up our video bandwidth on our website Cons Some of the documentations are not explained thoroughly, sometimes some of the function may face minor bugs, one of the case happened to me was unable to verify custom domain CNAME, although the cname has already set on my DNS zone editor Review Source VR Verified Reviewer 会社役員 Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Strong DRM protection with a simple and professional setup" March 23, 2026 4.0 Gumlet has become an essential part of my workflow for delivering video content to clients. It handles the technical complexity of secure video hosting so I don't have to. The combination of strong DRM, a professional-looking player, and reliable streaming quality makes it easy to recommend. There's room for improvement in content management at scale, but for the price and what it delivers, it's hard to beat. Pros The DRM protection is the standout feature for me. With both Widevine and Fairplay support, I can confidently deliver my clients' content knowing it's fully protected across all devices and browsers. The setup process is incredibly simple — no need to deal with complex configurations or hire a developer. Just enable DRM and it works. The video player itself is sleek and customizable, which my clients appreciate because it matches their branding. Adaptive bitrate streaming ensures smooth playback even for viewers with slower internet connections. Cons The video CMS could use better bulk management tools. When working with a large library of videos, organizing and tagging them individually can be time-consuming. A batch editing feature for metadata, tags, and folder assignments would save a lot of time. Also, more detailed export options for analytics reports would be a nice addition for client reporting.

The upload process is fast and simple, and my videos play smoothly without buffering. Highly recommended if you’re a coach or provide elearning services like me Pros It’s also easy to use, lets me upload videos quickly, and playback is smooth without worrying about bandwidth limits. This makes it a great choice for creators who need reliable video hosting for their websites and online courses. Cons Gumlet team should invest more in marketing because I discovered this platform a bit late. With better promotion, more creators could benefit from its fast streaming, generous bandwidth, and polished interface Alternatives considered [pCloud Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/161573/pCloud-Business/) Reason for choosing Gumlet Because Gumlet offers fast, reliable streaming with unlimited bandwidth at a fair price Review Source Ederson V. SEO Graphic Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An excellent tool for protecting your videos from piracy with DRM technology." November 27, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been very positive. It's a fast platform and doesn't show any errors. The main features, such as uploading and sharing videos, are quite simple, even for people who have never used the platform before. The main reason I purchased this platform was for the DRM protection and all the security features. While some more advanced settings, such as DRM protection, require a little more technical knowledge, the interface is intuitive and the basic workflow is easy to manage. The speed at which videos load and the ability to customize the player make for a pleasant experience. Pros I really like how quickly the videos load and the wide range of configurations it allows us to make. When I decided to switch, it was mainly because of the DRM protection it offers and how affordable it is. Few platforms provide all these protection features at such a price. In terms of usability, the main features such as uploading a video, configuring it, and sharing it are quite easy. Cons I would have liked the control panel to be available in multiple languages, but it is only in English. Also, although the main functions such as uploading and sharing videos are quite easy, the more complicated functions such as configuring DRM protection are a little more technical. I would also have liked more documentation and for it to be up to date. I watched a video on your channel on how to configure DRM, and the options are not exactly as shown in the video. Alternatives considered [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Reason for choosing Gumlet It offers me the same video protection features as other platforms, at a lower price.

CEO Market Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solid video hosting with fair pricing for small agencies" November 30, 2025 4.0 I run a small insights agency and we use Gumlet to host training videos, client walk throughs and webinar replays. We used Wistia before and liked it, but the costs added up compared with our actual usage. Gumlet has been a better balance between quality and price. Once I got past the first setup, it has been very low stress. I upload, embed and do not need to think about it. Videos load quickly for our clients in different regions and the player looks clean on our site. Overall, it does what we need without feeling overpriced or overbuilt for a small team. Pros The video playback is fast and reliable and good value for money. We have clients in the US, Europe and Asia and no one complains about buffering. The CDN setup was a big factor for me and Gumlet has handled that well. I also like that I can brand the player, control which sites can embed our videos and use simple security options for client-only content. The pricing feels fair for how often our videos are actually watched, especially compared with what we paid for other tools over time (for example Wistia, which was great product too, but Gumlet is better for our needs). Cons The dashboard took a bit of time to learn. Some settings are not in the places I expected and I still sometimes click around to find what I need. It is not hard, just not obvious at first. The layout could be a bit more friendly for non-technical users. Switched from [Wistia](https://www.capterra.com/p/82313/Wistia/)[Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) We've liked the other tools we tried, there isn't much negative to say about them. But for our businesses' needs, Gumlet works out to be much better value for money for our use cases. Review Source Jan S. Partner, Innovation Strategist Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I'm glad I discovered Gumlet" January 29, 2026 5.0 I really enjoy Gumlet. It's a way better alternative to Vimeo or the like! We tried many video platforms before and now plan to stick with it, because the team also keeps shipping updates and improvements each month. Pros The video player comes with a React Native embed out of the box: this is great for developers! Also the design of the player is great and both loading time and video quality are amazing. Cons There are minor UI weaknesses, e.g. navigation logic and orientation. But one gets used to it quickly. In playlists there is a weird behavior that mutes the next video. And the subtitles should have a bit more padding to the left and right — typography lover speaking here. That are the only things that I have noticed so far. Alternatives considered [Mux Video](https://www.capterra.com/p/196923/Mux-Video/) Reason for choosing Gumlet Too expensive but also a good service, especially for developers Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Certain features lacking / too expensive Review Source Andrés L. Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My new solution for hosting and sharing videos" December 2, 2025 5.0 After trying out other tools, Gumlet has become my new go-to solution for hosting and managing videos. In short, it's a very complete tool and an excellent addition to my workflow. Pros File uploads are incredibly fast, and playback is always smooth, without any stuttering or annoying loading times. Another feature I really appreciate is the player's customization: I can hide the progress bar, place the logo wherever I want, disable all controls, or even enable a download button when needed. It also offers powerful extra features like adding CTAs, creating playlists, and tailoring the experience to each project. In short, it's a very complete tool and an excellent addition to my workflow. Cons Perhaps a little more customization of the Call To Action in terms of shape and size (padding, ...). Switched from [Vadoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/206043/Vadoo/) The previous tool seemed very unstable to me and didn't inspire confidence. Review Source IK Ikhwanul K. General Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome video security! It keeps your stuff safe from downloads and screenshots." March 7, 2025 5.0 Pros I recently started using Gumlet, and I gotta say, I'm really impressed! One feature that stands out for me is their video hosting. It's super secure—like, you can't download the videos or even take screenshots of them! That gives me a lot of peace of mind, especially when I'm sharing content that I want to keep protected. The overall interface is pretty user-friendly, making it easy to upload and manage my videos. Plus, the streaming quality is excellent, which is a huge bonus. If you're into video content and need something that keeps your work safe while still looking great, I highly recommend checking out Gumlet. It's definitely been a game-changer for me! Cons One thing I wasn’t a big fan of with Gumlet is the CNAME feature being a paid add-on. It would be nice if it came included, especially since having a custom domain for your video hosting makes everything look more professional. But now I have to consider an extra cost just to set that up. It feels a bit like they’re nickel-and-diming for something that should really be standard, you know? Overall, I love the platform, but that part could definitely be improved! Switched from [YouTube](https://www.capterra.com/p/237905/YouTube/) I made the switch from YouTube because videos there can be downloaded, and I really needed to secure my content from being downloaded and spread around illegally. Gumlet offers the protection I was looking for. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Filmmaker switching from Vimeo to Gumlet" December 6, 2024 5.0 So far, it all just worked very well for me. Everything was smooth, from registration, setting up two-factor authentication, uploading a test video, automatic transcoding, getting the share-URL's, and more. I am glad to have finally found an alternative to Vimeo, since I have been looking for one for a long time. I hope the service will be around for a long time and will continue to be improved with the enthusiasm they are currently displaying. You can access their roadmap before buying and see which features they are working on and those they are already planning for or considering to implement. Lastly, the customer support was prompt and helpful and offered via live-chat, which is my preferred channel. Pros I appreciate having found an alternative to Vimeo. The lifetime deal seems to be of great value for my use-case. Gumlet is a powerful video transcoding, hosting, and streaming service and it even offers me a feature I never had with my old, paid Vimeo plan: the ability to geo-block countries from accessing my content. The other privacy features are great too, e.g. being able to password-protect my videos. Gumlet is also able to auto-subtitle and gives extensive analytics reports. They offer direct download links and solid player customization: I can choose a highlight color, hide the Gumlet logo, upload my own logo, etc. Cons While the UI is at times quite nice or even excellent, I do think it could be improved further. However, they are actively working on this. The current video library and playlist system are good and give me all the control I need, but, ideally, I would love to see a folder system integrated as well. Alternatives considered [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/)[Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/)[bunny.net](https://www.capterra.com/p/235247/bunnynet/)[YouTube](https://www.capterra.com/p/237905/YouTube/) Reason for choosing Gumlet Gumlet fits my requirements better than the competitors. I get a customizable, professional looking video-player for video-hosting my own content, automatic transcoding, sophisticated privacy-settings, automatic subtitling, etc. And with this lifetime deal, it should be of much better value than all the other competitors. Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) I had been looking for an alternative to Vimeo for a long time. I don't need a lot of bandwidth per month, so it seemed that Vimeo was too pricey for my use-case and needs. The lifetime special deal from Gumlet seems like great value for me.

Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The video hosting tool I've been waiting for" November 26, 2024 5.0 I've tried a few video hosting tools but this one really stands out the best! The user interface is really great and easy to navigate - not clunky at all. You can import videos from various sources which is a time saver. I love that it's mobile optimised as I use my phone for a lot of my content. Embedding videos is a breeze and the videos play smoothly with no issues like buffering. I like the analytics too - great to see what my users like (and don't like so much)! Pros Tough to pick one. I'd say the ease of use! I don't have to keep reminding myself where things are and how to navigate everytime I need to use it.

Pros How simple it is to set up and use it within minutes, even for such a non technical person as myself.

Pros Ease of use, the UI is easy to understand and support is awesome! You can upload, protect and live a video within minutes! Cons While they protect the popular Google Widevine and Apple Fairplay DRM with dynamic watermarking, wish there are more protection like forensic watermarking and multilayered drms.
