ChatGPT answers, unedited

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for selling recurring memberships that unlock a growing video library. The best choice depends on whether you want a “Netflix-style” video experience, a course/community model, or simply a paywall around videos.

Here are some strong options:

A few scenarios:

If you want a “Netflix for my niche”

Look at:

• Uscreen — designed around subscription video businesses with catalogs, apps, and memberships. Uscreen
• Vimeo OTT — more like a traditional streaming service.

If you’re a coach, educator, or expert

Look at:

• Kajabi
• Podia
• Membership.io — built around memberships, content delivery, payments, and analytics. Membership.io

If you already have a website

You can combine:

• WordPress/Webflow/Squarespace site
• Video hosting (Vimeo, Wistia, Bunny Stream, etc.)
• Membership/paywall layer (MemberSpace, MemberPress, etc.)
• Stripe subscriptions

Things to check before choosing

• Recurring billing: monthly/yearly subscriptions, failed payment handling, upgrades/downgrades
• Video protection: prevent easy sharing of paid videos
• Library organization: categories, search, playlists, “continue watching”
• Apps: iOS/Android/TV apps if you want a premium streaming feel
• Ownership: ability to export your member list
• Scalability: storage, bandwidth, and pricing as your library grows

If you tell me:

1. approximate number of videos (50? 500? 5,000?),
2. whether this is for courses, fitness, entertainment, coaching, etc., and
3. whether you want your own branded app,

I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 platforms.

Yes. There are several platforms designed specifically for selling memberships to a growing video library, with recurring subscriptions, gated access, and member management.

My shortlist by use case

Libree Membership.ioA few questions would narrow it down:

1. Roughly how many videos do you expect (50, 500, 5,000+)?
2. Are these educational courses, fitness/classes, entertainment, or another type of content?
3. Do you want your own branded app (Apple TV/Roku/iOS/Android), or is a website login enough?

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for selling recurring memberships that unlock a growing video library. The best choice depends on whether you want a Netflix-style video experience, a course/community model, or a branded app.

Here are the main categories:

Best all-in-one video membership platforms

Uscreen

Good for: creators, fitness instructors, educators, niche streaming services

• Netflix-style video library
• Monthly/annual subscriptions
• Member accounts and access control
• Apps for web, mobile, and TV (depending on plan)
• Built-in payments and analytics

This is one of the closest options to “build your own streaming service.”

Vimeo OTT

Good for: professional video businesses

• Subscription video-on-demand (SVOD)
• Video hosting + paywalls
• Recurring billing
• Branded viewing experience

Better suited for polished video delivery than community features.

Kajabi

Good for: courses, coaching, education businesses

• Membership areas
• Video hosting
• Recurring subscriptions
• Email marketing
• Landing pages and sales funnels

Less “Netflix,” more “premium learning platform.”

Podia

Good for: simpler creator memberships

• Video courses
• Membership tiers
• Recurring billing
• Community features
• Digital products

Mighty Networks

Good for: membership communities with video

• Paid memberships
• Video content
• Community discussions
• Events and groups

Best if the relationship/community matters as much as the videos.

More video-library focused options

• Switcher Studio — supports video catalogs, gated content, and monthly/yearly subscriptions. Switcher Studio
• Membership.io — designed around membership hubs with video, audio, text content, and recurring payments. Membership.io Membership.io Help Center

If you already have a website

You can also combine:

• WordPress + membership plugin + video hosting
• Stripe subscriptions + a gated video library
• A video host (like Vimeo, Wistia, or Mux) + a membership system

This gives you more control but requires more setup. Some WordPress solutions specifically combine recurring payments with protected video access. WP Video Subscriptions

My quick recommendation by use case

• “I want Netflix for my niche videos” → Uscreen, Vimeo OTT, Switcher Studio
• “I teach courses and add new lessons over time” → Kajabi, Podia, Membership.io
• “I want a community around the videos” → Mighty Networks
• “I want full ownership and customization” → WordPress + Stripe + video hosting

A few questions would narrow it down:

1. What kind of videos are these (fitness, education, entertainment, tutorials, professional training, etc.)?
2. Do you need a mobile/TV app, or is a website enough?
3. Are you expecting dozens of videos or thousands?

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for this model: customers pay a recurring membership fee, log in, and get ongoing access to a growing video library.

Best options

• Uscreen — probably the closest match to what you're describing. It is essentially a turnkey Netflix-style membership site: upload videos, organize them into collections, create subscription tiers, take recurring payments, and automatically control access based on membership status. It also supports live streaming, communities, and branded mobile/TV apps. Uscreen Uscreen Help

uscreen.tv

• Vimeo OTT — a simpler video-subscription option. You can charge monthly/yearly subscriptions and continually add new videos. Vimeo says its OTT subscription fee is $1 per subscriber/month plus payment-processing fees. Vimeo Help Center

vimeo.com

• Kajabi — better if the video library is part of a broader education/coaching business. It supports recurring memberships, gated content, communities, marketing automation, and payments. Kajabi Kajabi

kajabi.com

What I'd choose

If your core product is "Netflix for [your niche]", I'd start with Uscreen.

For example:

$19/month → unlimited access to the entire video library
New videos added every week → automatically available to active members
Cancel → access automatically ends
Optional $199/year plan → annual membership
Optional $39/month premium tier → additional content

Uscreen specifically supports assigning videos to subscription plans and bulk-adding new videos to plans, so the model works well as the library grows. Uscreen Help

If you tell me what kind of video library you're building (fitness, education, professional training, entertainment, religious content, cooking, etc.) and roughly how many videos/members you expect, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best platforms and compare their pricing, video hosting, payment processing, apps, and member-management features.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for selling recurring memberships to a growing on-demand video library—so you don't have to stitch together a video host, membership system, and Stripe billing yourself.

My top choices

1. Uscreen — probably the closest match

uscreen.tv is specifically designed around paid video memberships.

You can have:

• A growing Netflix-style video catalog
• Monthly/annual memberships
• Multiple subscription plans
• Free trials
• Members automatically gaining/losing access based on payment status
• Content collections and categories
• Live streaming
• Analytics and marketing automation
• Branded website, and higher-tier plans can include mobile/TV apps

Uscreen's subscription system explicitly supports recurring billing and assigning particular videos/collections to different plans. Uscreen Help Uscreen

Current listed pricing starts at $49/month for its Starter plan (limited to 100 subscribers), while Growth is listed at $149/month when billed annually + $1.99/subscriber. Uscreen

I'd look at Uscreen first if the video library itself is the product.

2. Vimeo OTT — great if you want a streaming-service feel

vimeo.com is another strong option.

It lets you sell monthly or annual subscriptions that unlock collections of videos, while Vimeo handles billing, access entitlements, and cancellations. Vimeo Help Center Vimeo

One interesting difference is the pricing model: Vimeo OTT currently lists $1 per subscriber/month + merchant fees for subscriptions rather than a large monthly platform fee. Vimeo Help Center

That can become attractive if you're starting small but expect a lot of subscribers.

3. Kajabi — better if the videos are part of a broader membership

kajabi.com is particularly good if your offering is something like:

Video library + courses + community + downloads + email marketing + coaching

Kajabi supports recurring weekly/monthly/annual memberships, multiple tiers, and automatically controlling access when subscriptions are canceled or payments fail. Kajabi

I'd choose it over Uscreen if the community/business/education experience is more important than creating a Netflix-like video service.

What I'd choose

If your concept is essentially:

"People pay $X/month and get access to an ever-growing library of videos."

I'd shortlist:

1. Uscreen → best all-around dedicated video membership platform
2. Vimeo OTT → best if you want a polished streaming/OTT product and favorable per-subscriber economics
3. Kajabi → best if videos are one component of a larger education/community business

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have now, expected members (e.g. 100 / 1,000 / 10,000), monthly price, and whether you need an app, I can compare the economics and recommend the best one for your particular model.

Yes. What you're describing is essentially a video membership / SVOD platform: customers pay monthly or annually, and their account automatically gives them access to an expanding video library.

A few strong options:

1. Uscreen — probably the closest fit

Uscreen is specifically built around paid video memberships. You can create subscription tiers, put videos/collections behind those tiers, and continually add new content. It also handles recurring billing, trials, member access, and subscription management. Uscreen Help Uscreen Help

It can also provide a branded catalog experience and, depending on the plan, mobile/TV apps. Uscreen

uscreen.tv

I'd look at this first if your business is primarily a video library.

2. Vimeo OTT — simple video subscription model

Vimeo OTT lets you upload videos, organize them into collections, and sell access through monthly or yearly subscriptions. You can keep adding videos to the collections available to subscribers. Vimeo Help Center Vimeo Help Center

Its published pricing model is $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees for subscriptions, which can make it attractive if you expect a large subscriber base. Vimeo Help Center

vimeo.com

3. Kajabi — if video is part of a bigger membership

Kajabi is better if you're envisioning something like:

Membership → video library + courses + community + email marketing + offers

It supports recurring subscriptions and automatically controls access based on subscription/payment status. Kajabi Kajabi Help Center

kajabi.com

What I'd choose

If your concept is basically:

"Pay $X/month and get unlimited access to our ever-growing library of videos."

I'd shortlist Uscreen and Vimeo OTT, with Uscreen probably the more natural choice for a membership-first business.

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling (fitness, education, professional training, entertainment, cooking, etc.) and roughly how many subscribers you expect, I can narrow this down and compare pricing, transaction fees, video hosting, apps, DRM, coupons, trials, and member management.

Yes. What you’re describing is essentially a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) / video membership platform: customers pay monthly or annually, get a login, and can watch an expanding library while their subscription remains active.

My top options

• uscreen.tv — probably the closest fit. It is built specifically around video memberships: Netflix-style video catalogs, recurring subscriptions, gated content, analytics, marketing automation, livestreaming, and even branded mobile/TV apps. Its subscription system supports monthly, quarterly, semiannual, and annual billing. Uscreen Help Uscreen

• kajabi.com — better if the videos are part of a broader membership/business. It supports recurring memberships, gated content, community, email marketing, courses, and subscription management. Kajabi Kajabi

Which I'd choose

For example, you could structure it as:

$19/month → full access to the video library → new videos added every week → automatic monthly renewal → access removed when membership ends.

Uscreen is particularly interesting for this model because its current Growth plan is designed around recurring revenue and includes unlimited subscribers, a Netflix-style catalog, and marketing/automation tools. Uscreen

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling, roughly how many videos you expect, your target monthly membership price, and whether you need a website/app, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their actual costs and features.

For example:

$19/month Membership

It also goes beyond simply hosting videos: branded mobile/TV apps, community, live streaming, analytics, and marketing/CRM features are available. Uscreen

Vimeo OTT is another very good fit

vimeo.com is particularly attractive if you're envisioning something like your own Netflix.

It supports monthly/yearly subscriptions where subscribers get access to collections of videos, and you can continue adding new videos to the library. Vimeo handles the subscription billing, access/entitlements, and cancellations. Vimeo Help Center Vimeo

How I'd choose

• Kajabi is worth considering if the videos are part of a broader course/coaching/community business, rather than primarily a Netflix-like video library. I would lean toward Uscreen/Vimeo OTT if video consumption is the core product.

What I'd choose

If your model is something like:

$19/month → member gets access to the entire video library → you add 5–10 new videos every month → members retain access as long as they keep paying

I'd start by looking at Uscreen.

Its current Growth plan is listed at $149/month when billed annually, plus $1.99 per subscriber, with unlimited subscribers, 100 hours of video storage, a Netflix-style catalog, marketing/automation tools, and subscription management. Uscreen

Vimeo OTT has a simpler pricing model for subscriptions: $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees, and supports monthly/yearly recurring subscriptions. Vimeo Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have now, how many you expect to add per month, your expected number of members, and your intended monthly membership price, I can compare Uscreen vs Vimeo OTT vs Kajabi vs building it yourself and tell you which would make the most financial sense.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for selling recurring memberships that unlock a growing video library. The best choice depends on whether you're primarily building a video streaming service or a broader course/community business.

My top picks

• uscreen.tv — best fit for a video-first membership

• Designed specifically around subscription video libraries.
• Members pay monthly/quarterly/annually for ongoing access.
• You can organize videos into collections and control which plans get access.
• Supports multiple membership tiers, free trials, live streaming, community, and even branded mobile/TV apps. Uscreen Help Uscreen
• Particularly attractive if your vision is essentially "Netflix, but for my niche/content."
• kajabi.com — best if video is part of a larger creator business

• Supports recurring memberships and gated content.
• You can add new content continuously as the library grows.
• Stronger than Uscreen for courses, email marketing, landing pages, sales funnels, and community/business automation. Kajabi Kajabi
• vimeo.com — worth considering if video hosting/streaming is the priority

• Vimeo has products for OTT/subscription video businesses, although I'd compare its current OTT offering against Uscreen if the primary goal is a consumer membership library.

What I'd choose

If you tell me:

"People pay $X/month and get access to an ever-growing library of videos. I want the platform to handle accounts, payments, recurring billing, cancellations, and access control."

I'd start with Uscreen. That's almost exactly its core use case. Uscreen Help

If instead you want:

"People pay for a membership that includes videos + courses + downloads + email/community + coaching."

The basic model would look like

You can also do things like:

• Free 7/14/30-day trial
• Multiple membership tiers
• Members-only videos
• Organize hundreds/thousands of videos into categories/collections
• Automatically revoke access when someone cancels
• Offer one-off purchases in addition to memberships
• Eventually add iOS/Android/Roku/Apple TV apps

If this is primarily a growing video library behind a paywall, I'd look at Uscreen first. If you want something that feels more like launching your own Netflix/streaming service, I'd seriously compare Uscreen with Vimeo OTT.

The model I'd recommend

I'd structure it as:

• Monthly: $19/month

• Member account: login + watch history
• Library: categories, playlists, search
• New content: automatically available to members
• Billing: automatic recurring credit-card payments

• Optional: free trial, coupons, higher-priced tiers

Quick recommendation by scenario

If you’re starting from scratch, I’d usually compare Uscreen vs Vimeo OTT vs a WordPress/Webflow site + membership layer. The deciding factors are usually:

2. whether you need TV apps,
3. whether you need community features,
4. whether you want to own the website/customer relationship.

Yes. What you’re describing is essentially a video membership / SVOD platform: customers pay a recurring monthly or annual fee, log in, and get access to an expanding on-demand video library.

A few good options:

• vimeo.com — Probably the closest fit if the core product is a Netflix-style video library. It supports monthly/yearly subscriptions, free trials, content collections, recurring billing, subscriber management, and branded websites/apps. Current Starter pricing is $1 per subscriber/month + merchant fees, with no upfront platform fee. Vimeo Vimeo Help Center
• uscreen.tv — Strong choice if you want a more creator/business-oriented membership platform. You can organize videos into a library, put content behind subscription plans, offer multiple tiers and free trials, and sell individual videos/courses as well. Plans currently start at $49/month. Uscreen Help Uscreen
• kajabi.com — Better if the video library is part of a broader education/coaching business with courses, email marketing, landing pages, and community. I'd choose it less for a pure Netflix-style experience.
• patreon.com — Good for a community around the videos, but less ideal if the primary experience you want is a polished, searchable video streaming library.

What I'd choose

If your business is basically:

“Pay $X/month → get access to our entire growing library of videos.”

I'd shortlist Vimeo OTT and Uscreen.

Vimeo OTT is particularly compelling if you want the experience to feel like a dedicated streaming service, while Uscreen is attractive if you want the membership to encompass videos + courses + community + marketing. Vimeo explicitly supports adding new videos to subscription collections as often as you want. Vimeo Help Center Vimeo

If you tell me roughly how many videos you expect, your target monthly membership price, and whether you need a website/app, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and estimate the fees at 100, 1,000, and 10,000 members.

Yes. What you’re describing is essentially a video membership platform: customers subscribe monthly/annually, their payment renews automatically, and their account gives them access to an expanding private video library.

Best options

• uscreen.tv — probably the closest fit. It is built specifically around paid video memberships, with recurring subscriptions, a searchable video catalog, multiple membership plans, analytics, community features, and optional branded mobile/TV apps. Uscreen Help Uscreen
• kajabi.com — best if the videos are part of a broader education/business offering. It supports recurring memberships, gated content, ongoing additions to a library, email marketing, community, courses, and automated access removal when someone cancels. Kajabi Kajabi
• vimeo.com — good if you mainly want a Netflix-style video subscription. You can charge monthly or yearly for streaming access and continuously add new videos. Vimeo currently describes its subscription fee as $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. Vimeo Help Center
• Thinkific — worth considering if your library is more of a structured course/learning program than an entertainment-style video library.

What I'd choose

If your concept is something like:

“Pay $19/month and get access to our entire library of 200+ videos, with new videos added every week.”

I'd look at Uscreen first.

If it's more:

“Pay $49/month for our training program, video lessons, resources, community, and coaching.”

I'd look at Kajabi.

And if you want primarily video streaming with minimal bells and whistles, Vimeo OTT is worth considering.

The important distinction is that you don't need to build Stripe + a membership database + video hosting + a gated website yourself. These platforms can tie the subscription status directly to content access, so when someone pays they get access, and when their subscription ends their access can be revoked automatically. Vimeo Help Center Kajabi

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling, expected number of members, and roughly what you want to charge per month, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their actual costs.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for paid video memberships with a growing library and recurring billing.

Best fits

• uscreen.tv — Probably the closest match to what you described. You can build a Netflix-style video library, create subscription tiers, gate videos/collections behind memberships, and charge monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. It also supports apps and TV devices as you scale. Uscreen Help Uscreen
• kajabi.com — Better if the video library is part of a broader creator/education business. It supports recurring memberships, courses, community, email marketing, landing pages, and payments in one system. Kajabi Kajabi
• vimeo.com — More focused on streaming. You can charge monthly/yearly subscriptions for streaming access and continue adding new videos to the library. Vimeo Help Center

What I'd choose

If your business is essentially:

"Pay $X/month and get access to our ever-growing library of videos."

I'd start with Uscreen. It's designed around exactly that model rather than treating video as an add-on to a course platform. You can assign new videos to an existing subscription plan, so someone who is already a member automatically gets access to the expanding library. Uscreen Help

If instead you're selling courses + videos + community + coaching/email marketing, I'd lean toward Kajabi.

One thing worth considering is how much you want to pay as you grow. Uscreen, for example, has both a platform fee and subscriber-based fees, while Vimeo OTT lists a per-subscriber fee plus payment processing. Uscreen Help Vimeo Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have now, expected members (e.g. 100 → 1,000 → 10,000), and your desired monthly membership price, I can compare Uscreen vs Kajabi vs Vimeo OTT and tell you which is likely to be the best fit financially and functionally.

Yes. What you’re describing is usually called a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) / video membership platform: members pay monthly or annually, and their subscription automatically controls access to your growing video library.

Platforms I’d look at

• uscreen.tv — probably the closest match. It is specifically built around paid video memberships. You can create subscription tiers, gate videos/collections by membership, offer trials, manage recurring billing, and continue adding videos to the library. It also supports branded websites and, on higher plans, mobile/TV apps. Uscreen Help Uscreen
• vimeo.com — excellent if the primary product is the video library. It supports monthly/yearly subscriptions, recurring billing, collections, branded streaming, and adding new videos to an existing subscription product. Vimeo currently describes its fee as $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. Vimeo Help Center Vimeo Help Center
• kajabi.com — worth considering if the videos are part of a broader education/coaching business. It's stronger on courses, email marketing, landing pages, and digital products than on creating a Netflix-like video service.
• patreon.com — good for a creator/community model, particularly if members are also getting posts, community interaction, and exclusive content. It's less ideal if your central product is a polished, searchable video library.

For your particular use case

If the idea is something like:

$19/month → member gets access to the entire library → you keep adding new videos → billing automatically renews → canceled members lose access

I'd start with Uscreen and Vimeo OTT.

Uscreen specifically lets you create multiple subscription plans and assign different videos/collections to each plan, while its member dashboard handles subscription/payment information. Uscreen Help Uscreen Help Vimeo OTT is particularly straightforward if you want essentially a branded streaming service with recurring subscriptions; you can keep adding content to the subscription. Vimeo Help Center

My first choice would be Uscreen if the membership itself is the business. Its current pricing page shows plans starting at $49/month, with higher tiers adding things such as apps, community, API access, integrations, and white-labeling. Uscreen Uscreen

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have now, expected members (e.g. 100 vs. 10,000), monthly price, and whether you need an app, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their actual costs.

Yes. What you’re describing is a video membership / subscription platform: members pay monthly or annually, get login-protected access to your video library, and you keep adding videos over time.

A few strong options:

My first choice: Uscreen

uscreen.tv is probably the closest match to what you're describing.

It is specifically designed around a growing video library + paid membership. You can:

• Upload and organize your videos into collections.
• Put videos/collections behind a subscription.
• Charge monthly or annually.
• Automatically manage renewals and member access.
• Add new videos to the library as you produce them.
• Create multiple membership tiers.
• Offer free trials.
• Track subscribers, MRR, and other membership analytics.
• Add community features.
• Eventually offer branded mobile/TV apps. Uscreen Help Uscreen Help Uscreen

One particularly useful feature is that you can assign an entire collection to a subscription, so you're not manually granting access video-by-video as the library grows. Uscreen Help

Uscreen currently advertises plans starting at $49/month, with pricing also involving subscriber/usage-related fees depending on the plan. Uscreen Uscreen Help

Kajabi

kajabi.com is another very good option if the video library is part of a broader education/coaching/business.

It supports recurring memberships, gated content, monthly/annual billing, subscription management, and community. Kajabi Kajabi

I'd choose Kajabi over Uscreen if you also need things like email marketing, sales funnels, courses, coaching, downloads, and community to be a major part of the business.

Vimeo OTT

vimeo.com is worth looking at if your concept is essentially "Netflix for my niche."

It supports recurring monthly/yearly subscriptions, streaming-only access, and adding new content whenever you want. Vimeo currently documents its OTT subscription fee as $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. Vimeo Help Center

It's more video/streaming-centric and less of an all-in-one marketing/community platform than Kajabi.

What I'd pick

If your business model is:

"People pay $X/month to access my ever-growing library of videos."

I'd shortlist Uscreen vs. Vimeo OTT, with Uscreen probably the better starting point if you want memberships, community, marketing, multiple tiers, and room to expand.

If it's:

"People pay to access my educational program, videos, courses, resources, and community."

I'd lean Kajabi.

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling (fitness, education, professional training, entertainment, religious content, cooking, etc.) and roughly how many members you expect, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their actual costs.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for selling access to a growing video library with membership tiers, recurring billing, gated content, and subscriber management. The best choice depends on whether you want a “Netflix-style” experience, a course platform, or a simpler membership site.

Here are some strong options:

A few common approaches:

1. “I want my own Netflix”

Use:

• Uscreen
• Vimeo OTT
• similar OTT video platforms

You upload videos, organize them into collections, create monthly/annual plans, and members log in to watch. This is usually the closest match for a growing library. www.uscreen.tv

2. “I’m selling education or courses”

Use:

• Kajabi
• Podia
• Thinkific
• Teachable

These are better if videos are organized into lessons, modules, quizzes, downloads, or coaching programs.

3. “I already have a website”

Use:

• Memberful
• WordPress membership plugins
• Stripe + a video host

This gives you more control but requires more setup.

4. “I want the simplest possible setup”

Platforms like SendOwl can handle memberships, recurring billing, gated access, and content delivery without building a full streaming platform. www.sendowl.com

For most creators building a large, growing video library, I’d shortlist:

1. Uscreen — best overall for a premium subscription video business
2. Kajabi — best if the library is really a course/community business
3. Vimeo OTT — best if video delivery and streaming infrastructure are the priority
4. Memberful + your own site — best if you want maximum ownership/control

A few questions would narrow it down:

• Is the library more like Netflix (browse/watch videos) or an online course (structured lessons)?
• Do you need mobile/TV apps?
• Are you expecting dozens of members or thousands+?
• Do you already have a website/domain?

Yes. What you’re describing is usually called a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) or video membership platform: customers pay monthly/annually, and their subscription unlocks your growing library.

My top choices

Uscreen is probably the closest match. It is specifically built around selling access to a video library. You can create subscription plans, assign videos/collections to them, automatically renew memberships, and track subscribers and MRR. help.uscreen.tv

Uscreen

Its current pricing starts at $49/month for the Starter plan, with a 100-subscriber limit; the Growth plan is listed at $199/month ($149/month when billed annually) plus $1.99 per subscriber. www.uscreen.tv

Vimeo OTT is another particularly good option if you want something that feels more like your own Netflix-style streaming service. It supports monthly/yearly subscriptions, collections, branded websites, and eventually branded TV/mobile apps. Its current Starter pricing is $1 per subscriber/month + merchant fees, with no upfront platform subscription fee. help.vimeo.com

Vimeo OTT

The basic setup you'd get

For example:

$19/month membership
→ Customer signs up
→ Recurring credit-card billing
→ Gets login/account
→ Can watch everything currently in the library
→ You add 5 new videos next month
→ Those automatically become available to existing members
→ If they cancel, access ends at the appropriate billing period

Both Uscreen and Vimeo OTT support this fundamental model. help.uscreen.tvhelp.vimeo.com

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling (fitness, education, professional training, entertainment, etc.), roughly how many videos you have, and your expected number of members, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their actual costs.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for selling access to a growing video library with memberships and recurring billing. The best choice depends on whether you want a “Netflix-style” experience, a course platform, a creator membership, or a simple paywall on your existing site.

Here are some strong options:

A few more video-focused options:

• Switcher Studio supports hosting video catalogs, gating videos, and selling monthly/yearly subscriptions through Stripe. www.switcherstudio.com
• ShowRev combines on-demand video, live streams, subscriptions, and other revenue streams. www.showrev.com
• Libree is geared toward creators building branded video libraries with recurring memberships. libree.io

A simple way to choose:

• You want “Netflix for my niche” → Uscreen or Vimeo OTT
• You teach/coaching/training → Kajabi or Thinkific
• You already have a website and just need a paywall → MemberSpace
• You want community + videos → Circle
• You’re testing the idea with a smaller audience → Podia or similar creator platforms

For a growing library, I’d prioritize:

1. Good video hosting/streaming (not just file storage)
2. Membership tiers (monthly/annual)
3. Automatic recurring billing and failed-payment handling
4. Searchable library/categories
5. Mobile-friendly viewing
6. Ability to export your customer list

If you’re building something like “members pay $10/month to access an expanding library of videos”, I’d usually narrow it to Uscreen, Vimeo OTT, Kajabi, or MemberSpace depending on your budget and whether you need apps.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for this model: pay a recurring membership fee → get access to a growing video library → automatically lose access if billing stops.

My top picks

1. Uscreen — probably the closest match

Uscreen is designed around exactly what you're describing.

You can:

• Upload and organize a continually growing video library
• Put videos/collections behind a membership paywall
• Charge monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually
• Offer free trials
• Create multiple membership tiers
• Automatically manage renewals and access
• Track subscribers, MRR, churn, etc.
• Build a branded website and, on higher-level plans, mobile/TV apps

Uscreen specifically allows you to assign videos and collections to subscription plans, so new videos can simply be added to the appropriate membership. help.uscreen.tv

Their current advertised plans start at $49/month. www.uscreen.tv

I'd choose Uscreen if the video library itself is the product.

2. Kajabi — better if it's more than just videos

Kajabi is excellent if your video library is part of a broader business involving courses, coaching, community, email marketing, etc.

It supports recurring memberships with ongoing access to content, and you can add new content to the membership as it grows. www.kajabi.com

I'd choose Kajabi if you're thinking:

"People are paying for my expertise/content/community, and videos are a major component."

3. Vimeo OTT — good for a Netflix-like video service

Vimeo OTT is another strong option if you want something that feels more like a streaming service.

Its subscription product supports monthly and yearly recurring payments, with subscribers getting streaming access to the collections you designate. You can continue adding new videos to those collections. help.vimeo.com

Vimeo currently documents its OTT subscription pricing as $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. help.vimeo.com

What I'd recommend

If your business concept is essentially:

"Join for $X/month and get unlimited access to my growing library of videos."

I'd start by looking at Uscreen.

It's much more purpose-built for that than trying to stitch together something like WordPress + Vimeo + Stripe + a membership plugin.

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have, expected number of members, your monthly membership price, and whether you want a website/app, I can compare the actual costs and features of Uscreen vs Kajabi vs Vimeo OTT for your particular business.

Yes. What you're describing is essentially a subscription video / OTT membership platform: members pay monthly or annually, log in, and get access to an expanding on-demand video library.

Best options

My first choice would be Uscreen if the primary product is a growing video library behind a membership paywall. It specifically supports recurring subscriptions, multiple plans, gated video content, subscription analytics, and branded experiences. help.uscreen.tv

Uscreen

Vimeo OTT is particularly interesting

Vimeo OTT is more purpose-built for creating your own Netflix-like streaming service. You can organize videos into collections and charge monthly or annual recurring subscriptions. Their current Starter pricing is $1 per subscriber/month + merchant fees, rather than a large fixed platform fee. help.vimeo.comvimeo.com

Vimeo OTT

The big advantage is that it can eventually support apps for iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Samsung TV, LG, Xbox, etc. on Enterprise. help.vimeo.comvimeo.com

If your model is something like:

$19/month → unlimited access to my video library → I keep adding new videos every week → automatic recurring billing → members can cancel anytime

Then yes, both Uscreen and Vimeo OTT can do this natively. Vimeo explicitly describes its subscriptions as recurring monthly/yearly payments for unlimited access to collections of video content, and Uscreen supports assigning videos/collections to subscription plans. help.uscreen.tvhelp.vimeo.com

One important distinction: if you're building a membership business rather than simply selling videos, I'd lean Uscreen. If you're envisioning a polished standalone streaming service—essentially "my own Netflix"—I'd investigate Vimeo OTT first.

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have, expected number of members, monthly price, and whether you need iPhone/Roku/TV apps, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their actual costs.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for this. If your model is “pay $X/month or year → get access to an ever-growing video library”, I’d look at these first:

My first choice: Uscreen

For what you're describing, Uscreen is probably the closest match. It's designed around the concept of a Netflix-style paid video library rather than treating video as an add-on to a course platform.

You can:

• Upload and organize a growing library of videos
• Put videos into collections/categories
• Require an active subscription for access
• Offer monthly and/or annual memberships
• Add new videos without changing existing subscribers' access
• Manage subscribers and recurring revenue
• Offer different membership tiers
• Add livestreaming and community features
• Eventually offer branded mobile/TV apps

Uscreen explicitly supports subscriptions where members receive ongoing access to your library in exchange for recurring payments. help.uscreen.tvwww.kajabi.com

See Uscreen

Kajabi

Kajabi is better if the videos are part of a broader education/business/coaching membership.

For example:

$29/month → access to 200 training videos + monthly new content + community + downloads

Kajabi supports recurring memberships, gated content, subscription management, and automatically removing access when a subscription ends. www.kajabi.com

See Kajabi Memberships

Vimeo OTT

If you want something more like “my own Netflix” and don't care as much about community/marketing features, Vimeo OTT is worth considering. It specifically supports recurring monthly/yearly subscriptions for streaming content, and you can continue adding new videos to the service. Its current subscription pricing is listed as $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. help.vimeo.com

See Vimeo OTT

What I'd choose

If your primary product is the video library itself, I'd rank them:

1. Uscreen → best overall
2. Vimeo OTT → best simple streaming/subscription model
3. Kajabi → best if you're building courses, coaching, email marketing, and community around the videos

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have now, how many you expect to have, your desired monthly membership price, and your expected number of subscribers, I can also compare the actual costs and transaction fees of these platforms and tell you which one makes the most financial sense.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for selling access to a growing video library with memberships, recurring billing, and gated content. The best choice depends on whether you want a Netflix-style streaming service, a course/membership site, or a simple paywall around your existing website.

Here are some strong options:

A few examples by use case:

If you want a “Netflix for your niche”

Look at:

• Uscreen
• Vimeo Streaming
• Switcher Studio

These are designed around a growing catalog where members log in, browse categories, and watch videos. www.lifewire.comwww.switcherstudio.com

If you already have a website and just need a paywall

Look at:

• MemberSpace
• Memberful

You keep your existing site and add member-only areas.

If the videos are educational/courses

Look at:

• Kajabi
• Thinkific
• Podia

If you want the simplest setup

A common stack is:

• Website: WordPress or Webflow
• Video hosting: Vimeo
• Membership/payments: MemberSpace or Stripe subscriptions

For a growing library where the main product is “pay $X/month and get unlimited access to hundreds of videos”, I would usually start by comparing Uscreen vs Vimeo Streaming vs Kajabi, because they are closest to a true subscription video business.

A few questions would narrow it down:

1. Is this more like Netflix (browse/watch) or online courses (lessons/modules)?
2. Do you need your own branded app (Roku/Apple TV/iOS/Android), or just a website?
3. Roughly how many videos are you starting with, and how often will you add new ones?

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for paid memberships where subscribers get ongoing access to a growing video library, with recurring billing handled for you.

My top choices

Uscreen is probably the closest match to what you're describing. It is designed around a subscription video library: you upload videos, organize them into collections, create membership plans, and subscribers pay monthly/annually for access. You can continue adding videos to the library without changing the subscription. help.uscreen.tv

It also supports multiple subscription tiers, free trials, live streaming, community features, and branded mobile/TV apps. Its current site says plans start at $49/month. www.uscreen.tv

Kajabi is worth considering if it's more than just video

Kajabi is particularly good if your membership is something like:

$29/month → access to 200+ training videos + new videos every month + community + PDFs + occasional live sessions

It supports recurring weekly/monthly/annual memberships, gated content, multiple tiers, subscription management, and automated access removal when someone cancels or payment fails. www.kajabi.com

Vimeo OTT is another strong option

If your priority is "I want my own Netflix-like video service", Vimeo OTT is worth a look. It supports monthly/yearly recurring subscriptions, collections, free trials, and adding new videos to an existing subscription library. Its listed subscription fee is $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. help.vimeo.com

What I'd choose

If you tell me your approximate number of videos, expected members, monthly price, and whether you want a website/app, I can compare Uscreen vs Kajabi vs Vimeo OTT on actual pricing, transaction fees, video hosting, member management, and what your customers would experience.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for “Netflix-style” paid video libraries—members pay monthly/annually and automatically retain access while their subscription is active.

My top choices

Uscreen is probably the closest match to what you're describing. It is specifically designed around video memberships: you upload and organize videos, create subscription plans, and members get ongoing access to the library while they pay. It supports multiple subscription tiers, free trials, and recurring billing. help.uscreen.tvwww.uscreen.tv

It also gives you the option of eventually having your own branded iOS/Android and TV apps, rather than sending people to YouTube or another platform. help.uscreen.tvwww.uscreen.tv

Vimeo OTT is another particularly good fit if the core product is simply “pay us $X/month and watch our entire video library.” It supports recurring monthly/yearly subscriptions, collections of videos, free trials, and branded streaming experiences. Vimeo currently describes its subscription fee as $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. help.vimeo.com

Kajabi makes more sense if the videos are part of a broader educational/coaching membership. It supports recurring subscriptions and can combine videos with courses, community, downloads, and other content. www.kajabi.com

What I'd choose

If your business model is:

“People pay $X/month to access an ever-growing library of videos.”

I'd shortlist Uscreen vs. Vimeo OTT.

If it's:

“People pay for a membership that includes videos, courses, community, PDFs, coaching, etc.”

I'd look harder at Kajabi.

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have, expected number of members, monthly price, and whether you need a mobile/TV app, I can compare the actual costs and recommend the best setup.

Yes. What you’re describing is a fairly well-established category: video membership / OTT platforms. They let you build a Netflix-style library, charge members monthly or annually, and automatically control access based on whether their subscription is active.

My top options

I'd look at Uscreen first if the core product is a growing video library that people pay to access. It is specifically designed around video memberships: you upload and organize videos, create subscription plans, gate content to paying members, and manage recurring revenue. It also supports livestreaming, community features, and branded mobile/TV apps. help.uscreen.tvhelp.vimeo.comwww.kajabi.com

Vimeo Streaming is another strong choice if you want something closer to a dedicated streaming service. Its subscription products support recurring monthly/yearly payments and streaming-only access to your video collections. help.vimeo.com

Kajabi makes more sense if the videos are part of a broader educational/coaching business. It supports recurring memberships, gated content, multiple tiers, and automated subscription access, but its architecture is more "online business/course platform" than "video streaming service." www.kajabi.com

One important distinction

If your model is:

"Pay $X/month → get access to our entire and continuously growing video library"

I'd favor Uscreen or Vimeo Streaming.

If it's:

"Pay $X/month → get our videos + courses + community + coaching/resources"

I'd favor Kajabi.

And if you're imagining something like "Netflix for [your niche]", Uscreen is probably the closest fit out of these.

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have, expected number of members, monthly price, and whether you need a mobile/TV app, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their actual 2026 pricing and transaction fees.

Yes. There are several platforms specifically built for selling memberships that unlock a growing video library and automatically handle recurring payments.

Best fits

\*Pricing/features can change by plan.

Uscreen is probably the closest match to what you're describing. You can create subscription plans, assign videos/collections to those plans, and members retain access as long as their recurring subscription is active. It also provides member management, analytics, marketing tools, and options for mobile/TV apps. help.uscreen.tv

Vimeo OTT is particularly attractive if the product is essentially “Netflix for my niche.” It lets you build a branded video subscription service, charge monthly or annually, organize videos into collections, offer free trials, and add new videos to the library over time. Its current Starter pricing is $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. vimeo.com

What I'd choose

If your concept is:

“People pay $X/month and get access to an expanding library of videos.”

I'd shortlist Uscreen vs. Vimeo OTT.

• Choose Uscreen if you want the membership/community/business-management side to be as important as the video.
• Choose Vimeo OTT if the core product is a polished streaming library and you want a more Netflix-like experience.
• If you want courses, coaching, downloads, email marketing, and community wrapped around the videos, I'd also consider Kajabi.

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have, expected number of members, monthly price, and whether you need an iPhone/Android/TV app, I can compare the platforms on actual monthly cost, payment processing, video hosting, member management, and what you'd take home per subscriber.

Yes. What you’re describing is essentially a video membership / SVOD platform: customers pay a recurring fee, get access to your video library, and automatically receive access to new videos as you add them.

A few good options:

1. Uscreen — probably the closest fit

Uscreen is specifically built around video memberships. You can:

• Create monthly/annual membership plans
• Give members access to an expanding video library
• Organize videos into collections/categories
• Handle recurring payments and subscriptions
• Offer free trials and multiple membership tiers
• Track members, MRR, churn, etc.
• Add community features
• Eventually offer branded mobile/TV apps

Their current plans start at $49/month, according to their site. www.uscreen.tv

2. Vimeo OTT — better if the video experience is the priority

Vimeo OTT is designed more like your own Netflix-style service. It supports recurring monthly/yearly subscriptions, video collections, branded websites, and—on higher tiers—apps for Roku, Apple TV, iOS, Android, etc. vimeo.com

Its Starter pricing is currently $1 per subscriber/month + merchant fees, rather than a traditional large monthly platform fee. vimeo.com

3. Kajabi

Worth considering if your videos are more of a course/coaching/education membership and you also need email marketing, landing pages, sales funnels, and digital products. It's less "Netflix-like" than Uscreen or Vimeo OTT.

What I'd choose

If your concept is:

"People pay $X/month and get access to our ever-growing library of videos."

I'd look at Uscreen first, then Vimeo OTT.

One important distinction: you don't necessarily need to build Stripe + a video host + a membership database + a paywall yourself. These platforms can combine those pieces into one system. Vimeo, for example, handles subscription payments, access control, video hosting, and the video CMS. help.vimeo.com

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have now, how many you expect to add per month, and your expected number of members (e.g. 100 → 1,000 → 10,000), I can compare the economics of Uscreen vs. Vimeo OTT vs. building it yourself.

Yes. What you’re describing is essentially a video membership / OTT platform: customers subscribe, get a login, and can watch an expanding library for as long as their subscription is active.

The strongest options

1. Uscreen — probably the closest fit

Uscreen is built specifically around paid video memberships. You can:

• Create a Netflix-style video library
• Add new videos continuously
• Charge monthly or annual subscriptions
• Create multiple membership tiers
• Automatically manage access when someone subscribes, cancels, or fails payment
• Add livestreaming and community features
• Eventually offer branded mobile/TV apps

Their subscription system explicitly supports recurring payments and assigning videos/collections to particular plans. help.uscreen.tv

2. Kajabi — better if it's education/content-business oriented

Kajabi can handle a growing membership library with recurring monthly/annual billing, gated content, community, email marketing, and sales funnels. www.kajabi.com

I'd lean toward Kajabi if your videos are more like courses, lessons, training, coaching, or educational content rather than a Netflix-like entertainment library.

3. Vimeo OTT — good for a straightforward streaming service

Vimeo OTT supports monthly/yearly recurring subscriptions and lets you continually add content to the subscription. Its current pricing documentation says subscriptions are $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. help.vimeo.com

It's worth considering if you mainly want "pay $X/month → watch our entire video catalog" without needing a big marketing/community platform.

What I'd choose

If your concept is:

"People pay $20/month and get access to our growing library of hundreds/thousands of videos."

I'd start by looking at Uscreen.

If it's:

"People pay $20/month for an educational/training membership, with videos + courses + community + email marketing."

I'd look at Kajabi.

If it's:

"We want to build a relatively pure streaming service with subscriptions and video delivery."

I'd investigate Vimeo OTT.

If you tell me what kind of video library you're building, your approximate monthly price, and whether you need a website/app, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their costs and capabilities.

Yes. There are several platforms built specifically for paid video memberships, where members pay recurring fees and automatically get access to an expanding video library.

My top picks

Uscreen is probably the closest match to what you're describing. It combines video hosting, a Netflix-like membership library, recurring billing, member accounts, analytics, and optional mobile/TV apps. You can create subscription plans and assign particular videos or collections to each plan. help.uscreen.tv

For example, you could have:

• $19/month — access to the entire library
• $39/month — entire library + new releases + live sessions
• Add 5–10 new videos every month
• Existing members automatically get access according to their plan
• Automatic recurring billing
• Free trials, subscription pauses, etc. help.uscreen.tv

Vimeo OTT is another particularly strong option if your goal is more like launching your own Netflix/streaming service. It supports monthly/yearly recurring subscriptions and lets you keep adding content to collections. Its current subscription pricing is listed as $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. help.vimeo.com

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling (fitness, education, professional training, entertainment, etc.) and roughly how many members you expect, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their actual costs.

Yes. What you’re describing is essentially a subscription video membership / SVOD platform: people pay monthly or annually, log in, and get ongoing access to a growing video library.

The two I'd look at first

Uscreen is probably the closest match if your goal is to build a membership business around an expanding library. You can create subscription tiers, assign videos/collections to plans, manage members and recurring revenue, and add new content over time. It also supports mobile and TV apps if you eventually want a more Netflix-like experience. help.uscreen.tv

Uscreen

Vimeo OTT is particularly attractive if you mainly want "pay $X/month → get access to my video library." It supports monthly or annual recurring subscriptions, collections, free trials, and adding new videos whenever you want. Its current subscription pricing is $1 per subscriber/month plus merchant fees. help.vimeo.com

Vimeo OTT

A typical setup would look like

Your website → Membership signup → Recurring payment → Member account → Video library

For example:

• $19/month — full library
• $190/year — full library + 2 months free
• New videos added every week/month
• Members automatically retain access while their subscription is active
• Failed/canceled payments automatically affect access
• You can offer free trials or promotional pricing
• You own the branding and customer relationship rather than sending people to YouTube

Uscreen specifically lets you assign individual videos and collections to subscription plans, which is useful if you want to have different membership levels later. help.uscreen.tv

My recommendation

If you're thinking "I want to build a Netflix-like paid library that will keep growing", I'd start by comparing Uscreen vs. Vimeo OTT rather than trying to assemble Stripe + a video host + a membership system yourself.

If you tell me roughly how many videos you have now, expected number of members, monthly price, and whether you need mobile/TV apps, I can narrow it down and give you a cost comparison at 100 / 1,000 / 10,000 members.

Yes. What you’re describing is essentially a video membership / OTT platform: customers pay a recurring fee, and the platform controls access to an expanding library of videos.

Two particularly relevant options are:

Uscreen

Probably the closest match if you want a membership business built around video.

• Recurring memberships/subscriptions
• Growing on-demand video library
• Member accounts and access control
• Video hosting and streaming
• Community features
• Marketing/member-management tools
• Mobile and TV apps
• Designed specifically around recurring revenue from content www.uscreen.tv

Uscreen currently advertises plans starting at $49/month, with a free trial. www.uscreen.tv

Vimeo OTT

A stronger choice if you're thinking of building something more like a Netflix-style streaming service.

It supports monthly/yearly subscriptions, lets you organize videos into collections, and lets you continually add new content to the subscription library. help.vimeo.com

Its current Starter pricing is $1 per subscriber/month, plus applicable transaction/upload fees, and it includes a website, checkout, video hosting and subscription/transactional monetization. vimeo.com Higher-tier plans can add branded iOS/Android/TV apps and other OTT functionality. vimeo.com

Which I'd look at first

The key distinction is whether you're building "a membership community that happens to have lots of videos" or "a streaming service where the video library is the product."

If you tell me roughly how many videos you expect, your desired monthly membership price, and whether you need a website only or TV/mobile apps, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their actual costs.
