Choose Wisely: Selecting an Online Video Platform
VidCompare lets you search for OVPs using categories such as Delivery and Payment Structure and provides basic information such as a feature list, a pricing structure, and the date the company was founded. Even though he was familiar with the OVP market, Colwin found VidCompare useful because the comprehensive service-provide listing covered companies he shouldn’t miss. He estimated that he spent about 6 hours total on the VidCompare site before making his decision.

Web Video Hosting Platforms Comparison Tool – VidCompare
I know that many of our readers are fans of using YouTube as a video hosting platform. While I completely agree that almost everyone should leverage YouTube itself for its massive audience, and while there are clearly some benefits to using YouTube, (mainly – it is free) there are reasons why a business may choose a custom video platform solution for their own website (player customization and content rights to name a few).

20 Questions with Dr. Dre(y) of VidCompare: Part 1
Kris happens to be one of the under-mentioned stalwarts of the online video space, IMHO. His perspectives on online video are very clear, grounded in reality, and create a good balance between innovating vs. catering to demand.

Comparing Video Platforms: Ooyala Gets Live, Extend Amps Up Paid
With video hosting platform companies adding more bells and whistles and claiming to do everything a content maker could ever want, lately it takes a little more work to see which rig is right for your needs. But that dilemma’s being somewhat eased by VidCompare, a new informational site about white-label video offerings. We’d resisted writing about VidCompare because it’s run by a guy who’s VP of marketing at white-label video competitor Fliqz, but in the last month found multiple occasions to use the site as a reference.

Marketers Tapping Personalized Videos to Generate, Engage Leads
“Video analytics are some of the most powerful on the Internet today, exposing metrics previously unavailable to marketers in the past,” says Kristopher Drey, Founder of online video platform comparison engine VidCompare. “Not only do markers know how many times a video has been viewed or how many times it’s been shared, but also by whom it’s been viewed and where it was shared,” he says. “We also know how long a video has been viewed by a particular viewer, where they stopped or paused, and which part of the video was viewed over and over again… telling marketers not only how long their videos should be or where they should place the most engaging content, but also when to expose the viewer to an ad.”

Now that it has officially launched, I’m happy to introduce VidCompare
, a new web service that has officially today is designed to be your business decision tool for searching and comparing online video platforms. It should be noted upfront that VidCompare is the brainchild of Kris Drey, who fully discloses that professionally he is actually VP of product marketing at Fliqz, an Emeryville, California-based online video platform (OVP), a fact that is bound to raise many eyebrows. So why would an OVP executive launch a company that compares other OVPs, isn’t that a conflict of interest? I asked Kris that very question in a featured interview about why he launched VidCompare, how will the site will work and what’s the overall goal of VidCompare.
