Overview
What you provide
- Prepare an approved sales script, presenter or avatar assets, and the recipient-trigger rules for a permitted campaign.
What you get
- Vidyard produces hosted video messages and, with the required add-on and integrations, automated personalised deliveries.
Choosing this tool
Vidyard connects video messaging to sales workflows through sharing pages, analytics and higher-tier CRM integrations. Its AI allowance and ordinary recording allowance are different. Compare Synthesia for scripted presenter content or AKOOL for avatar-led media production; those alternatives do not automatically replace Vidyard’s delivery and sales-analytics workflow. Confirm the integration tier before buying seats for a campaign.
A decision worked through
One annual Starter seat plus its annual Video Agent add-on is USD 83/month equivalent, or USD 996 for twelve months before tax. Quoted team plans and usage-priced extras are outside that calculation.

- Price the seat, AI add-on and any usage extras as separate line items.
Requirements & installation
- Identify whether you need recording, AI generation, automated sending or all three before selecting a plan.
Limits & review
- Unlimited recording on Starter is not the same as unlimited AI generation. CRM/MAP integration is listed on Teams, and automated captions are excluded from Free in the comparison table.
Your part
- Review the video and recipient logic before enabling a live sales workflow.
