The simplest way to show videos on your website
SimpleVideo helps small businesses and agencies add video to their website without any technical hassle. Upload the file, copy the embed, and move on.
Alternative to YouTube embeds Built for business websites Keeps visitors on your site
The problem
Showing a video on a website is harder than it should be.
- YouTube is free, but it pulls attention toward YouTube instead of your website.
- Vimeo and Wistia can be a better fit for some teams, but they are often more platform than a small business site actually needs.
- Self-hosting video is technical, slow to get right, and easy to get wrong.
- Most video tools are built either for creators, broadcasters, or marketing teams, not for a business that just needs clean embeds on its site.
- What should be a simple website task turns into a platform decision.

What SimpleVideo does differently for you.
- Keep your visitors on your site.
- No suggested videos, no third-party branding, and no reason to send people off to someone else’s platform.

- Privacy by default.
- No Cookies and no third-party tracking, no need to ask your lawyers.
- Straightforward pricing.
- No surprise fees or overages, just choose a plan that fits your usage. No need to decode a larger platform just to publish video on your site.

Questions
The comparison questions people usually have.
Who is SimpleVideo for?
SimpleVideo is for small businesses and agencies that want clean video embeds on their website without adopting a larger video platform than the job requires.
Why choose SimpleVideo over YouTube?
YouTube is great for free hosting and public reach. SimpleVideo is the better fit when the goal is to keep the viewing experience on your own website without a YouTube-branded detour.
When should I choose Vimeo or Wistia instead?
Choose Vimeo if you want a broader all-purpose video platform. Choose Wistia if video is part of a larger marketing workflow. Choose SimpleVideo when you mainly need straightforward website video hosting.
When should I not choose SimpleVideo?
Do not choose SimpleVideo if you want public discovery and audience growth through a platform like YouTube, or if you need the deeper marketing or webinar tooling offered by products like Wistia.
Do I need technical help to embed it on my site?
Usually no. You paste one embed snippet into your website and publish. If your team can add an image, form embed, or script snippet, they can usually add SimpleVideo too.
What happens when a plan limit is reached?
At about 75% of your plan limit, you will receive a notification. You can upgrade your plan or playback will stop once you hit the limit.
If you're European, is my video available worldwide?
Yes. SimpleVideo is the simplest way to show videos on your website, and your videos are delivered globally so visitors anywhere get a fast playback experience.
Show them why they should choose you
A good video makes saying yes easier.
When people can see what you do and hear it in your own words, it is easier for them to trust you and take the next step.
