Are they planning to merge Vimeo’s and Brightcove’s underlying technology, even if the brands and product lines remain distinct? In theory, that could deliver a true best-of-both-worlds outcome. Each platform has strengths that could fill the other’s gaps. In practice, though, it would almost certainly be messy, with non-trivial integrations and some painful migrations and breaking changes for at least some of the customers.

Literally 10x the price of Vimeo, unfortunately. Otherwise I might have given this a go.
Source: my Vimeo annual plan renewal currently shows US$144. We host about 100 videos and get in the dozens of views a day. Pretty small.
Your 'Grow' plan is €155/month × 12 = €1,860 = $2,218! That's … a lot.
