Why users choose Gumlet over Brightcove:
No pricing transparency. Annual lock-in.
Brightcove hides pricing behind sales and requires annual contracts, with no free tier or month-to-month option. Gumlet offers transparent pricing, a permanent free tier, and monthly plans you can cancel anytime.
Everything requires sales or engineering
Basic operations like setting up DRM, customizing players, etc., require significant coordination with developers and Brightcove's professional services team (which costs extra). Gumlet is self-service from signup to streaming. Zero dev dependency throughout.
The Bent Cutlery factor
There is a concerning pattern about media hosting platforms once they’ve been acquired by Brightcove’s parent company - usually leading to the product and service quality taking a nosedive. Gumlet faces no such risks, and is actively improving everyday with new features and tech.
The Pricing Differential
If you're a broadcast media company running an OTT channel across massive scales with server-side ad insertion, Brightcove's Media Studio might work for you. But if you're a marketing team, course creator, or e-commerce brand - you're paying 10–100x more than you need to on Brightcove.
