At a glance
Modo
Simple video hosting you run from your AI agent. Built on Cloudflare Stream, with a clean player, share links, private signed links and an MCP server.
Best for
Businesses with a modest amount of video and modest traffic: product demos in docs, landing-page videos, a small course library, client videos. Especially teams that already work with Claude or another AI agent.
Pricing
$39, $99 or $199 per month by minutes stored and minutes streamed, plus $2 per 1,000 extra minutes streamed. 15-day free trial, card up front, no free plan. Prices include VAT.
Strengths
- Published allowances and a published overage rate, no per-seat pricing
- Upload, import, share and delete by asking your AI agent over MCP
- Cloudflare Stream underneath: adaptive streaming and global delivery
- Public by default, private with signed expiring links when you need it
Limits
- Not the cheapest option: free and low-cost plans exist elsewhere
- No free plan
- Little marketing tooling: no lead forms, heatmaps or webinars
- New product with no long track record yet
Gumlet
A low-cost video hosting alternative to Vimeo.
Best for
People who want the cheapest hosted plan and do not need an agent workflow.

Who Gumlet is best for
People who want the cheapest hosted plan and do not need an agent workflow.
Using both
If you are comfortable writing your own tooling, a raw platform such as Cloudflare Stream or Mux costs less. Modo sells the finished product on top: accounts, embeds, private links and the agent workflow.
