General, Getting Started

Why choose Vodlix over Uscreen?

Four reasons come up most with switchers: flat pricing with no per-subscriber fees or revenue share; branded mobile and TV apps included in the higher plans instead of sold as add-ons; monetization and protection features Uscreen lacks (AVOD advertising, multi-platform DRM, a full API); and free assisted migration from Grow up.

Video Platform, Monetization

How long does switching from Uscreen take?

It depends on the size of your library and subscriber base, but your Vodlix platform is set up in parallel with your existing Uscreen site, so there is no downtime — you switch your domain over only when everything is migrated and tested. Our step-by-step guide to migrating from Uscreen walks through each stage of the process.

General

Can I run ads (AVOD) if I switch to Vodlix?

Yes. Vodlix supports ad-based monetization (AVOD) alongside subscriptions (SVOD) and pay-per-view (TVOD), including server-side ad insertion — so you can mix revenue models. Uscreen does not offer AVOD.

Who is Vimeo OTT a good fit for?

Vimeo OTT Starter suits a creator testing a small, web-only subscription idea, because there is no platform fee and bandwidth is included.
