Do-It-Yourself Web Video Syndication

Multichannel news posted this interesting platform and technology comparison between upstart Maven networks and Brightcove. Note one of the key differences in the respective business models is starting price and therefore the customer target.

Maven’s pricing starts at $5,000 per month for a one-year commitment, which includes 500,000 video plays per month. Fees scale up depending on usage. Customers include Hearst, CBS’s CSTV and A&E Television Networks and their newest high-profile customer is Hearst Magazines who will launch with 1,000 pieces of video content in the next 90 days, on sites including TeenMag.com, Esquire.com, Seventeen.com and CosmoGirl.com.
