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
Vimeo
Video hosting and creation for business, with a free tier, self-serve plans and Enterprise.
Best for
People who want a few videos on a well-known host and stay well within its bandwidth limits, at a low sticker price.
Pricing
Reported self-serve plans (unverified, second-hand): Free, Starter about $12 per month billed annually, Standard about $25, Advanced about $75, Enterprise custom. We could not read Vimeo's live pricing page, so check it before deciding. Vimeo's entry plans are cheaper than Modo's $39.
Strengths
- Low entry prices and a free tier
- Well-known, mature product with many integrations
- Several plan levels before you need Enterprise
Limits
- Reported bandwidth threshold on self-serve plans (unverified), with Enterprise as the next step
- Enterprise pricing is not published
- No official MCP server found; only community ones (unverified)

Which one fits you?
Who Modo is best for

Who Vimeo is best for
People who want a few videos on a well-known host and stay well within its bandwidth limits, at a low sticker price.
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.
