If I would be an investor, I would definitly go with it. It's ui is very solid and it has everything you need. Even image Pros Gumlet being an all-in-one tool for everything about video. Like VIMEO but better. Custom domain, manage response headers and origin reuest headers for images. Man, it's great!! Cons I don't think I've found a single thing in Gumlet to not like. But if I have to name 1 thing, it might be missing integration with Pabbly. But it has API and webhook so not really a problem :) Alternatives considered [Adilo](https://www.capterra.com/p/212725/Adilo/)[Publitio](https://www.capterra.com/p/215290/Publitio/) Reason for choosing Gumlet Much better overal tooling and usability. Gumlet is just a polished gem! Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) the distance from the tool to the end user feels "to far away". I want real people behind the support when it's needed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder, Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product with exeptional support" December 2, 2025 5.0 I'm very satisfied with the service. The upload process is fast and simple, and my videos play smoothly without buffering. Highly recommended if you’re a coach or provide elearning services like me Pros It’s also easy to use, lets me upload videos quickly, and playback is smooth without worrying about bandwidth limits. This makes it a great choice for creators who need reliable video hosting for their websites and online courses. Cons Gumlet team should invest more in marketing because I discovered this platform a bit late. With better promotion, more creators could benefit from its fast streaming, generous bandwidth, and polished interface Alternatives considered [pCloud Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/161573/pCloud-Business/) Reason for choosing Gumlet Because Gumlet offers fast, reliable streaming with unlimited bandwidth at a fair price Review Source TB Tim B. Coach Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Video Hosting and Delivery Platform!" April 23, 2026 5.0 Support is responsive and courteous. They have answered all my questions along the way which hasn't been my experience with some other platforms I've used. Pros After several months of use, I really appreciate how fast the videos load. I'm able to customize video players and maintain branding. There are no other videos to distract viewers from my content like other platforms. Cons The streaming is a work in progress compared to other platforms. However, that wasn't my reason for using the tool so it doesn't deter me.

Manager Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Gumlet Review after 1 month" January 8, 2025 4.0 Overall experience was good, because the main purpose of Gumlet was used to host videos on our website. Pros I like the video cdn bandwidth and DRM protection feature where we can secure our video content and speed up our video bandwidth on our website Cons Some of the documentations are not explained thoroughly, sometimes some of the function may face minor bugs, one of the case happened to me was unable to verify custom domain CNAME, although the cname has already set on my DNS zone editor Review Source BB Blaine B. Owner - Manager Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "High-Quality and Robust Security Video Hosting Made Easy" January 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Gumlet has been very robust. The platform is simple to understand and manage, which is crucial for anyone looking to streamline their content hosting needs. The combination of a clean UI, flexible usage policy, and high-quality storage options makes it a strong contender in the video hosting market. I find it to be a highly effective solution that meets my needs without breaking the bank, especially given the unlimited streaming feature. I would definitely recommend Gumlet to anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly video hosting service. Pros One of the standout features of Gumlet is its user interface. It’s incredibly clean and perfectly navigable, making it easy to find what you need without any hassle. I also appreciate their straightforward usage policy, which allows for hosting in minute increments. This feature simplifies the process of managing video content and makes it easy to calculate costs. Additionally, the platform supports storage of videos at up to 4K resolution, which is fantastic for maintaining high-quality content. The plan I’m on also offers unlimited streaming of videos, making it an extremely cost-effective solution compared to other major video platforms. Also I have member videos that I am hosting with Gumlet which need to be secured. In my experience Gumlet offers probably the most robust security of all the hosting platforms. Cons This is maybe not fair to call a con because I bought knowing it wasn't a feature and not offered as one. However, while Gumlet excels in many areas, I would like to see an expansion in their storage capabilities. Currently, they offer facilities for video and image storage, but I believe adding PDF storage would enhance the platform's versatility and usability. This addition would be particularly beneficial for users who need to manage a variety of content types in one place. Switched from [Amazon S3](https://www.capterra.com/p/174285/Amazon-S3/) I needed better security for my vids and S3 was sometimes quite cumbersome to use. Review Source Ederson V.

November 27, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been very positive. It's a fast platform and doesn't show any errors. The main features, such as uploading and sharing videos, are quite simple, even for people who have never used the platform before. The main reason I purchased this platform was for the DRM protection and all the security features. While some more advanced settings, such as DRM protection, require a little more technical knowledge, the interface is intuitive and the basic workflow is easy to manage. The speed at which videos load and the ability to customize the player make for a pleasant experience. Pros I really like how quickly the videos load and the wide range of configurations it allows us to make. When I decided to switch, it was mainly because of the DRM protection it offers and how affordable it is. Few platforms provide all these protection features at such a price. In terms of usability, the main features such as uploading a video, configuring it, and sharing it are quite easy. Cons I would have liked the control panel to be available in multiple languages, but it is only in English. Also, although the main functions such as uploading and sharing videos are quite easy, the more complicated functions such as configuring DRM protection are a little more technical. I would also have liked more documentation and for it to be up to date. I watched a video on your channel on how to configure DRM, and the options are not exactly as shown in the video. Alternatives considered [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Reason for choosing Gumlet It offers me the same video protection features as other platforms, at a lower price.

CEO Market Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solid video hosting with fair pricing for small agencies" November 30, 2025 4.0 I run a small insights agency and we use Gumlet to host training videos, client walk throughs and webinar replays. We used Wistia before and liked it, but the costs added up compared with our actual usage. Gumlet has been a better balance between quality and price. Once I got past the first setup, it has been very low stress. I upload, embed and do not need to think about it. Videos load quickly for our clients in different regions and the player looks clean on our site. Overall, it does what we need without feeling overpriced or overbuilt for a small team. Pros The video playback is fast and reliable and good value for money. We have clients in the US, Europe and Asia and no one complains about buffering. The CDN setup was a big factor for me and Gumlet has handled that well. I also like that I can brand the player, control which sites can embed our videos and use simple security options for client-only content. The pricing feels fair for how often our videos are actually watched, especially compared with what we paid for other tools over time (for example Wistia, which was great product too, but Gumlet is better for our needs). Cons The dashboard took a bit of time to learn. Some settings are not in the places I expected and I still sometimes click around to find what I need. It is not hard, just not obvious at first. The layout could be a bit more friendly for non-technical users. Switched from [Wistia](https://www.capterra.com/p/82313/Wistia/)[Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) We've liked the other tools we tried, there isn't much negative to say about them. But for our businesses' needs, Gumlet works out to be much better value for money for our use cases. Review Source Jan S. Partner, Innovation Strategist Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I'm glad I discovered Gumlet" January 29, 2026 5.0 I really enjoy Gumlet. It's a way better alternative to Vimeo or the like! We tried many video platforms before and now plan to stick with it, because the team also keeps shipping updates and improvements each month. Pros The video player comes with a React Native embed out of the box: this is great for developers! Also the design of the player is great and both loading time and video quality are amazing. Cons There are minor UI weaknesses, e.g. navigation logic and orientation. But one gets used to it quickly. In playlists there is a weird behavior that mutes the next video. And the subtitles should have a bit more padding to the left and right — typography lover speaking here. That are the only things that I have noticed so far. Alternatives considered [Mux Video](https://www.capterra.com/p/196923/Mux-Video/) Reason for choosing Gumlet Too expensive but also a good service, especially for developers Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Certain features lacking / too expensive Review Source Andrés L. Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My new solution for hosting and sharing videos" December 2, 2025 5.0 After trying out other tools, Gumlet has become my new go-to solution for hosting and managing videos. In short, it's a very complete tool and an excellent addition to my workflow. Pros File uploads are incredibly fast, and playback is always smooth, without any stuttering or annoying loading times. Another feature I really appreciate is the player's customization: I can hide the progress bar, place the logo wherever I want, disable all controls, or even enable a download button when needed. It also offers powerful extra features like adding CTAs, creating playlists, and tailoring the experience to each project. In short, it's a very complete tool and an excellent addition to my workflow. Cons Perhaps a little more customization of the Call To Action in terms of shape and size (padding, ...). Switched from [Vadoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/206043/Vadoo/) The previous tool seemed very unstable to me and didn't inspire confidence.

It handles the technical complexity of secure video hosting so I don't have to. The combination of strong DRM, a professional-looking player, and reliable streaming quality makes it easy to recommend. There's room for improvement in content management at scale, but for the price and what it delivers, it's hard to beat. Pros The DRM protection is the standout feature for me. With both Widevine and Fairplay support, I can confidently deliver my clients' content knowing it's fully protected across all devices and browsers. The setup process is incredibly simple — no need to deal with complex configurations or hire a developer. Just enable DRM and it works. The video player itself is sleek and customizable, which my clients appreciate because it matches their branding. Adaptive bitrate streaming ensures smooth playback even for viewers with slower internet connections. Cons The video CMS could use better bulk management tools. When working with a large library of videos, organizing and tagging them individually can be time-consuming. A batch editing feature for metadata, tags, and folder assignments would save a lot of time. Also, more detailed export options for analytics reports would be a nice addition for client reporting.

March 7, 2025 5.0 Pros I recently started using Gumlet, and I gotta say, I'm really impressed! One feature that stands out for me is their video hosting. It's super secure—like, you can't download the videos or even take screenshots of them! That gives me a lot of peace of mind, especially when I'm sharing content that I want to keep protected. The overall interface is pretty user-friendly, making it easy to upload and manage my videos. Plus, the streaming quality is excellent, which is a huge bonus. If you're into video content and need something that keeps your work safe while still looking great, I highly recommend checking out Gumlet. It's definitely been a game-changer for me! Cons One thing I wasn’t a big fan of with Gumlet is the CNAME feature being a paid add-on. It would be nice if it came included, especially since having a custom domain for your video hosting makes everything look more professional. But now I have to consider an extra cost just to set that up. It feels a bit like they’re nickel-and-diming for something that should really be standard, you know? Overall, I love the platform, but that part could definitely be improved! Switched from [YouTube](https://www.capterra.com/p/237905/YouTube/) I made the switch from YouTube because videos there can be downloaded, and I really needed to secure my content from being downloaded and spread around illegally. Gumlet offers the protection I was looking for. Review Source EA Emad A. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effortless Video Management with Quality and Speed" November 19, 2025 5.0 using the platform is very enjoyable and getting started with Gumlet was incredibly simple; the setup was clear and straightforward. The support is excellent. Pros All-in-one professional video management platform. I can store and share videos professionally and delivery them with very speedy CDN. Cons The only downside for me is the individual video page player. It needs a little more attention as its a page I use a lot when sharing content with clients and it does not reflect the gumlet look and feel. Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Expensive and lack of customization for videos Review Source AR Alexander R. Webdeveloper E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solid and good alternative to Vimeo" December 1, 2025 5.0 Coming from Vimeo Plus, I actually made the steps to move to Gumlet before Vimeo suddenly increased the amount of space in their Plus subscription. As I was already in midst of moving files and embeds over to Gumlet, I continued and honestly the process was pretty easy. For me, it's a good alternative to Vimeo. Pros \- Clear interface, easy to use. - Uploading was excellent, especially with the multiple import options for bulk import. - Not unique to Gumlet, but the ability to customize the (majority) look and feel of the player is great, especially with custom logo and color set. Cons \- Maybe I'm overseeing things, but I miss the option to organize the video's in multiple directories within a single directory (with parent > child directories). - The player itself does not seem to be localized, the controls seem to be fixed to English. Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Limitations in storage in Vimeo Plus subscription Review Source VS Vikas S.

It's perfect for brands looking to deliver smooth 4K content without any annoying buffering, along with easy-to-understand analytics and solid reliability for audiences around the world. The whole process is streamlined, making it easier for viewers to stick around and enjoy high-quality streaming. Pros Lightning fast streaming, Crystal clear 4K support, Advanced DRM protection, Adaptive bitrate streaming, Global CDN acceleration, In depth analytics, Customizable video player Cons There is a minor learning curve for advanced features. Also, more templates could help getting started faster. Switched from [YouTube](https://www.capterra.com/p/237905/YouTube/) Clean player and no ads, with superfast playback were the most compelling features Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Video hosting that works how you want it to work." January 28, 2025 5.0 Setup was a breeze. Menu and settings are easy to follow. Customer service was responsive when I had a question. Streaming is fast. Can't complain, well worth the cost. Pros Wow. Gumlet is one of those softwares that just does what they say. Everything works, and it works well. It's not overly complicated, making it easy for us to use.

Consultant Photography Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy Video Sharing" December 4, 2024 5.0 I found Gumlet to be very affordable compared to other services and that the way they organize clips helped me organize my collection Pros Gumlet makes is convenient to upload and share video material. I like that I can just drag and drop a clip and in a few minutes have a viewing page that I can share with a client or if I choose to do so an embed code for a website. Cons I found the streaming resolution can be reduced at times especially at the very start of a clip but once it starts playing the quality is very good. Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) We switched because of the cost of Vimeo because of this. Review Source SHARKY L.

No complaints about infinite loops when buffering video, and I feel safe with my videos being protection with the additional Digital Rights Management (DRM) layer of security. Pros What I like the most about Gumlet is that it allows so much customization in order to better serve your audience, and at the same time protect your video content from the ones with less good intentions. Cons I have to be totally honest here. So far there's nothing I can say I dislike about Gumlet. It serves all my currents needs well and beyond. Switched from [YouTube](https://www.capterra.com/p/237905/YouTube/) I've switched from Youtube (Unlisted) to Gumlet, mainly because of speed limitations at YT and DRM security.
