Dailymotion review
A broad video platform for ad-supported publishing, live streaming and analytics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Dailymotion is a video hosting, management, distribution and monetization platform for creators, publishers, businesses and consumer-facing properties. It supports video uploads, playlists, embeddable players, 4K playback, live streaming, analytics, privacy controls and advertising. Content can be distributed through websites, applications, Dailymotion properties, mobile apps, feeds or APIs, making it suited to teams that need more than a basic video library.
The paid structure is divided into Starter, Advanced and Enterprise. The listed starting price is 9, and a 14-day free trial is available. Starter includes 1 seat, 25K plays, 2TB bandwidth, 100GB storage, 10 hours of encoding and ad-free embeds. Advanced increases access to 5 seats, unlimited plays, 1TB storage and 80 hours of encoding, while adding a branded player. Enterprise uses custom pricing and adds optional in-stream ads, live streaming with DVR, SSAI, single sign-on and a dedicated account manager. The tier differences make the product suitable for both smaller publishing operations and larger monetized video programs, although regional availability matters for self-service buyers.
Dailymotion also has a broad platform and integration footprint. It supports web, iOS, Android and API access, alongside Google Analytics, Segment, YouTube and RSS/MRSS integrations. Geo and domain restrictions, custom reports, API-based workflows and advertising support give publishers control over distribution and revenue paths. Choose Dailymotion if your priorities include live and on-demand publishing, embedded video, analytics and ad-supported distribution. A simpler video host may be a better fit for teams that do not need live streaming, monetization, detailed restrictions or multi-channel delivery.
