Kinescope is a video hosting and streaming platform for businesses, educators, media teams, creators, and developers. It combines video storage, transcoding, CDN delivery, an embeddable ad-free player, live streaming, analytics, access controls, DRM, and developer APIs. Teams can organize content with projects, folders, tags, metadata, and file versioning, while AI features can generate subtitles, chapters, and descriptions. Web, iOS, Android, and API access support use across websites, applications, and learning environments.

The pricing structure starts with a permanent Free plan at €0 per month, including 100 minutes of stored video, 200 GB of monthly CDN traffic, 20-minute HD live streams, and two workspace members. Super costs €10 per month, billed monthly, and adds unlimited video storage and bandwidth, video quality up to 4K, and DRM protection. The published plans show usage-based billing above the monthly minimum, with separate storage, CDN traffic, and transcoding charges. Mega uses custom payment terms and adds dedicated technical support, an enterprise SLA, SSO, and custom infrastructure configuration.

Kinescope is particularly well suited to organizations that need controlled playback and live video alongside education or website integrations. Its privacy options include domain, password, private-link, and access-code restrictions, while Widevine and FairPlay support DRM encryption. Live streams offer low latency, automatic recording, and DVR; analytics cover viewing, retention, devices, browsers, and geography. REST, player, webhooks, and SDK tools support custom applications, and integrations include Moodle, Canvas, iSpring, Teachable, Udemy, Zoom, WordPress, Webflow, YouTube, and Tilda. Teams wanting a simple fixed-cost video host may prefer a plan without usage-based charges, while organizations needing advanced controls, APIs, and learning-platform compatibility have a strong fit.
