Screenvod vs Vidyard
Screenvod vs Vidyard
The screen recorder where videos live in YOUR own cloud — Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox — not in a per-seat sales platform.
Looking for a Vidyard alternative? The difference that matters isn't the feature list — it's where your videos live and how much you pay for it. With Screenvod, every screen recording goes straight to your own cloud: Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox. With Vidyard, your videos sit on their servers, inside a video platform built for B2B sales teams.
That choice hits both your wallet and your privacy. Vidyard charges per user and targets enterprises; Screenvod keeps the files in your own cloud account, with no lock-in, for a fraction of the price. This comparison focuses on what's genuinely different between the two — and where each one wins.

Your videos, your own cloud
With Screenvod, you connect the storage you already use and pay for (Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox). Recordings are saved there, in your account. We generate the share link and handle streaming, but the file is yours, in your cloud.
With Vidyard, the video is uploaded to their infrastructure. Because it's a sales and marketing video platform, your files become part of a closed system: access depends on your account, your plan, and how many seats you keep active. It's powerful for large teams, but it means one more data silo outside your control.
Price: a B2B sales seat vs. a tool for everyone
Vidyard is priced like enterprise software: the Starter plan costs $59 per user/month (billed annually) and Teams jumps to $99 per user/month. For a team of five, that's over $300 a month just to record and share video.
Screenvod charges a flat, affordable price per account — no seat counting. You record as much as you want, keep everything in your own cloud, and pay a fraction of what a sales platform would cost. If you don't need a full sales-engagement engine, that's the difference between a tool and an operation.
No vendor lock-in: cancel anytime
Cancelled Screenvod? Your videos stay exactly where they've always been: in your cloud. Nothing disappears and nothing is held hostage by a subscription or a seat count.
With platforms that host your videos for you, stopping payment can mean losing access, hitting limits, or rushing to export everything. If you send videos to clients or keep important recordings, that difference matters.
When Vidyard makes more sense
Vidyard is a mature, deep platform for B2B sales and marketing. If your team needs native CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot), video prospecting at scale, AI avatars, in-player lead capture, and analytics tied to pipeline, Vidyard does all of that very well.
Screenvod is for people who value control, privacy, and price: professionals and teams who want to record their screen, share a link, and keep videos in their own cloud — no lock-in and no per-seat bill.
