#63I guess I am late to the party, but I feel I must voice this opinion since Quartzy is listed. Also, comments on the original Quartzy submission are closed ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2744408 ).

#64Vidyards pricing list is pretty shady/lame. They compare themselves along side Vimeo Pro and Youtube, under their pricing they list "free" (Vimeo being $199, Youtube also free) and then under a bunch of options for Vidyard that are ONLY available if you pay >cost of Vimeo pro they add a tick, which would imply that they're available for free . It's misleading, it implies it's cheaper to use Vidyard (which it isn't)
Vidyard looked good at first glance, as I'm looking into adding video to a site right now, but the free video, with branding, is really no better than YouTube. They really should be offering half a dozen free videos with all the bells and whistles (i.e. no Vidyard branding) if they want to entice new users.
The free plan is intended to add player customization, no advertisements, no out-bound link and analytics over YouTube, along with pretty minimal branding (only on mouse-over).
