A marketing-focused host with strong privacy controls and video website tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SproutVideo is a business video hosting platform for uploading, embedding, managing, and analyzing on-demand and live video. It is aimed at businesses, educators, marketers, and organizations that need secure, ad-free delivery rather than a public social-video platform. The service combines customizable video playback, access controls, analytics, landing pages, video websites, lead capture, and marketing tools, with web and API access.
The published annual-billing plans scale from Seed at $12 per month to Sprout at $35, Tree at $72, and Forest at $195. Seed includes 150 GB of storage, 1,800 GB of annual bandwidth, two team member seats, analytics and engagement, and video marketing tools. Sprout adds 400 GB of storage, 4,800 GB of annual bandwidth, viewer login protection, a customizable video website, and five seats. Tree includes 1 TB of storage, 12 TB of annual bandwidth, dynamic watermarks, signed embeds, advanced website customization, and 10 seats. Forest raises capacity to 2 TB of storage and 24 TB of annual bandwidth, adding viewer SSO, geo- and IP-based playback restrictions, and exportable reports. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
SproutVideo fits teams that want control over how videos look, where they play, and how viewers engage with them. Playback supports adaptive bitrate delivery up to 8K and 60 FPS, while the white-label player supports custom colors, thumbnails, subtitles, autoplay, and playlists. Integrations include Box, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Zapier, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, and Disqus; REST and JavaScript Player APIs extend the platform further. It is a strong choice for marketing-led video programs and private delivery. Teams seeking native checkout should look elsewhere or plan around external membership, payment, and paywall integrations.
