Uscreen Growth plan costs $149/mo base plus $1.99 per subscriber per month. At 1,000 subscribers, that is $149 + $1,990 = $2,139/mo before transaction fees. At 5,000 subscribers, it exceeds $10,000/mo. host.video Business is $100/mo regardless of how many people watch your videos. Pricing scales with storage and bandwidth, not audience size.
Uscreen hosts video on its own platform — Uscreen-branded pages and native apps. host.video provides a white-label player you can embed on any website, product, or platform. Your videos live where you need them, not on someone else's platform.
host.video automatically transcribes every upload and makes your library searchable. Uscreen focuses on community features and OTT apps but does not offer AI-powered search across video content.
Uscreen builds native apps for iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Samsung TV, and LG TV — no code required. If you need a Netflix-like experience with branded apps across multiple devices, Uscreen provides a turnkey solution that host.video does not offer.
Uscreen combines video, community features (channels, challenges, messaging), and monetization (subscriptions, pay-per-view) in one platform. For creators building a membership business with community engagement, Uscreen is purpose-built for that model.
Uscreen Starter is $49/mo with a 10% transaction fee and 20 hours of storage. Growth is $149/mo (annual) plus $1.99/subscriber/mo with a 5% transaction fee. App Essentials is $449/mo (annual) plus $0.99/subscriber/mo. For a creator with 100 members on Growth: $149 + $199 = $348/mo. At 1,000 members: $149 + $1,990 = $2,139/mo. host.video Starter is $20/mo ($200/yr) for 200 GB storage and 2 TB bandwidth. Business is $100/mo ($1,000/yr) for 500 GB and 5 TB. host.video pricing scales with storage and bandwidth, not subscriber count. The math diverges sharply as your audience grows.
Uscreen is the right choice for fitness instructors, yoga teachers, coaches, and content creators who want to build a membership business with branded mobile/TV apps, community features, and built-in payment processing. If you need a Netflix-like experience for your audience across every device and want it without writing code, Uscreen is purpose-built for that.
Choose host.video if you need video hosting that does not penalize you for growing your audience. If you want to embed videos on your own website or product rather than drive viewers to a third-party platform, or if per-subscriber fees that balloon with success concern you, host.video provides flat, predictable pricing with AI search and white-label embeds.
