Why switch from ImageKit to Gumlet?
Simpler pricing
ImageKit’s pricing is complex and restrictive, tied to its unit-based system. Features like high storage and video processing are locked behind much higher plans. Gumlet, on the other hand, offers transparent pricing with generous limits, allowing you to scale without hidden fees or restrictions.

Better image optimization
Gumlet delivers 35% better image optimization than ImageKit, across formats like WebP and AVIF. We also support next-generation formats like JPEG-XL, which ImageKit does not. Gumlet’s advanced caching ensures images load instantly, improving site speed.

Cut streaming costs from day one
Gumlet's proprietary per-title encoding compresses videos 40-45% better than ImageKit. We also offer modern codecs, such as H.265, which further optimize video delivery. This drastically reduces streaming bandwidth, without compromising on video quality.

Advanced security
ImageKit lacks critical security features, such as SOC-2 compliance, auto-DDoS blocking, and DRM support. These are only available on higher-tier plans. Gumlet provides enterprise-level security for all users, including easy-to-implement DRM and DDoS protection, ensuring your media is always safe.

Powerful user and usage analytics
Gain insightful data, optimize performance, and enhance user engagement with Gumlet’s detailed analytics. Gather metrics on engagement, playback, and latency to gain a deeper understanding of your audience. Get account-wide or collection-wide usage statistics for streaming, transcoding, and storage.

Comprehensive video hosting platform
Unlike ImageKit, which offers only basic media features, Gumlet is a complete video hosting solution. We offer features such as an intuitive CMS, a custom ad-free player, interactive marketing tools, advanced video protection, and more. Deliver flawless playback on any device or network with instant start times.
