Why vitelnk

What Makes vitelnk Different

Four things every competitor either can't do or puts behind a premium plan.

You need per-link access control

Every share link on vitelnk can have its own password, expiry date, and one-time access setting. No other platform does per-link controls at this granularity at this price.

You want individual viewer tracking

See exactly who watched, how far they got, and what they clicked — per viewer, not just aggregate totals. Add named recipients and send each person a personalised invite link.

You're tired of ads and public recommendations

YouTube and Vimeo push competitor content after your video ends. vitelnk is a clean, branded player with no ads, no recommendations, and no distractions.

Pricing that doesn't penalise growth

Most competitors charge per video, per seat, or gate features at $79+/month. vitelnk includes everything from $12/month — no video count limits, no per-user pricing.
