Which host takes the logo off?

The logo in the corner, the screen after the pitch, and the address of the watch page.

Five hosts, judged on branding

By Marcus Vale, lead reviewer. Reviewed by the VSLBench editorial desk.

Your sales video is wearing another company's logo. When the clip ends, the viewer gets suggested videos or an ad.

For a white label video player, SproutVideo includes that treatment on every plan. Gumlet removes its branding on the Creator plan. Bunny Stream is the one you skin yourself, or replace with a player you already run. Adilo puts your logo on the player and can host a channel on a domain you own.

A player in your colors still cannot tell you which visit produced a purchase.

What unbranded video hosting includes

Unbranded video hosting has three layers. Changing the colors only touches the first.

The player is the frame around the picture. SproutVideo's hosting page says you set colors, thumbnails and controls, and the video carries no SproutVideo logo.

The second layer is the moment the video ends. That page says viewers stay on your content, with no related-video feed, and that the company never runs pre-roll, mid-roll or banner ads on customer videos or live streams.

Video hosting without branding also includes the page behind a shared link. If that address shows the host's name, the host is still on screen. Adilo, Spotlightr and Bunny Stream each let the watch page sit on a domain you own.

The delivery bill is a separate choice. The cost per 1,000 plays compares Bunny Stream, Gumlet and Cloudflare Stream on the same video. We read each vendor's pricing and feature pages, and long-term reports from people who switched hosts. Live campaigns are outside this research.

Why teams leave YouTube and Vimeo over branding

The complaint is a logo on the frame, then a recommendation row or an ad once the pitch is over.

A Vimeo alternatives thread describes the goal as video with no platform logo. The same thread praises Gumlet for embeds that leave the host's brand off the frame, and for private links.

SproutVideo's help article answers from the host's side. Other companies' branding stays off the area around the player, and out of the player, unless you add it.

Wistia is the host many of those teams already know. Its pricing page keeps Wistia branding on Free. Removing it starts on Business, at $79 a month on an annual bill.

If you are leaving Vimeo Pro, start with the alternatives page. That is the list of hosts people look at next.

SproutVideo: your logo from the first plan

SproutVideo homepage promising live and on-demand video hosting for businesses, with Get Started Free and See Features buttons

Seed is $12 a month if you pay yearly, with a 30-day trial and no card. The plan list includes white-label on-demand hosting and live streaming on that entry plan, and on the tiers above it.

Choose it when you want live streaming in the same account, and no platform logo on the entry plan. Webinars and event dashboards sit in the live streaming guide.

The analytics measure engagement. A purchase sits outside that report. When the winner has to be the cut that sold, use the video split testing guide. The SproutVideo review goes through privacy controls and overage rates.

Gumlet: Creator removes the branding

Gumlet video-hosting page headed "Video hosting that's fast, ad-free, and secure" above a screenshot of its video library dashboard with Upload Video, Create Folder and Analytics controls

Creator's yearly rate is $6 a month. The pricing table lists Remove Gumlet branding on that plan. Free Forever lists an ad-free player. Removing the branding requires Creator.

Setup on the hosting page is where you add your logo and colors. Domain restriction starts on Creator, so you choose which sites may embed the file.

Choose it when the embed should drop Gumlet's branding and Creator is the plan you will pay for. The Gumlet review covers the rest of the product. The per-1,000-plays guide works out the bandwidth bill.

Bunny Stream: skin the player or bring your own

Bunny Stream homepage headed "A better way to deliver online video" with a 14-day free trial button

The player, transcoding and the security features are free. You pay for storage and the traffic you serve, which the Stream page states outright.

You can set the player's colors, or write CSS so it matches the site. The same page says you can skip that player and use the HLS files in one you already run. Presto Player is one player this site covers for that job.

The CDN player page says customization reaches the CDN hostname, so the delivery address can carry your name too. Take this route when someone on the team will build the marketing layer. The cost calculator turns length and plays into a monthly figure. The Bunny Stream review collects the long-term notes on delivery.

Adilo: a logo on a marketing host

Adilo homepage headlined 'A Better, Faster Video Hosting For Businesses & Creators', with a Sign up free button and a 'Trusted by over 10,000 users' line

The homepage says you can set the player skin to your colors and show your logo on the video. Channels can run on your domain, with your photos and logos. It also markets unlimited plays and views, including before you pay.

The pricing page shows a free Lite plan and an Unlimited tier. Unlimited has no dollar figure on that page.

The limit is billing trust. Lifetime deals sold through AppSumo were later restricted, and those accounts were moved onto paid subscriptions. There are also reports of charges after a cancellation. Start without paying, or pay month to month, before a whole library moves. The Adilo review has the billing history. If the choice is SproutVideo or Adilo, read the comparison.

Spotlightr: a watch page on your domain

Spotlightr homepage headed "Secure, affordable video hosting for courses on WordPress, Kajabi, Thinkific and more" with a Try 14 Days Risk-Free email sign-up form and a 4.8 / 5 on Capterra, 8,000+ membership sites, HLS encrypted trust bar

Light lists a brandable, fully customizable player. The pricing page puts Light at $13 a month on a yearly term, and the plan comparison includes a custom domain for watch pages.

Course lessons are a different job from a sales page. The Spotlightr review covers encryption and gating for that library. Agencies that need a workspace per client should use the agency library guide.

Five checks before you commit

  • Which plan removes the host's branding. Seed, Creator, Business and Light are the tiers named above. Adilo offers the logo on the skin. Bunny Stream is a stylesheet, or a player you supply.
  • What plays after the video. SproutVideo is the host in this guide that says there is no related-video feed and no ads.
  • Whose name is on the share link. Adilo channels, Spotlightr watch pages, and the Bunny Stream CDN hostname are the three that document an address you control.
  • Which sites may embed the file. Gumlet adds domain restriction on Creator.
  • Whether you need to know which visit bought. A clean player does not answer that. The VSL player picker is where that choice starts.

My take: I would put a branded sales page on SproutVideo, because the entry plan already removes the logo and rules out a related-video feed. I would move to Gumlet on the Creator plan. Bunny Stream makes sense only with a developer who will skin the player or point the stream at a player already in the funnel. I would keep Adilo on Lite until Unlimited shows a price. I would open Spotlightr when the watch page has to live on the client's domain.
