    We have another cool option http://www.videolean.com i hope you like it!!

    • I checked out VideoLean – the download fees seem to be a state secret! 🙂 For a regular user (not an agency paying a monthly fee), what is the cost per download?

  2. Hey Lilach,

    many thanks for this comprehensive list. Some of them were completely out of my radar.

    Have you checked out Wistia for video hosting, for instance? They are sort of Vidyard. We use them a lot for features like the follow Twitter button and the turnstile. Also provide good analytics.

    Regarding video creation, obviously I use Videolean. It’s like the Animoto for businesses. There you can customise plenty of low cost template videos that have been designed by professionals. Everything is online and shouldn’t take more than few minutes.

    Hope this helps for your next article. More than happy to share with you more tools we use.

    Gotta try as many of them as I can to find the one that works best for my language teaching vids.
