Can I pay month-to-month?
Yep! We have monthly plans as well as yearly!
Here are the answers to the rest of your burning questions.
In features, none! In savings, a TON (^^Poets and we didn’t even…OK…yeah, we totally did that on purpose.)
But seriously, when you pay upfront for the annual subscription, you get 2 months FREE.
(For the numbers-inclined, that’s over 15% OFF, regardless of which plan). And then you don’t have to worry about monthly charges).
Are we the artist, uh, player, formerly known as Vooplayer? Yep.
Does that mean we got bought out or don’t have a stable platform? Not in the least.
Here’s the story: when we first developed the product in 2013, we began as Vooplayer, but we moved ahead with a rebrand when we had a change of leadership in the summer of 2020.
So, while on some blogs, you may still see “Vooplayer,” it’s just what we were called before we reincarnated. (We think we might’ve been Alfred Hitchcock before that, but we can’t confirm it…yet).
In fact, if you spot Vooplayer mentioned in one of our older support docs, let us know here at support@spotlightr.com. We’ll gift you a $10 credit for transcripts!
We accept all major credit cards.
(Although accepting Dogecoin sounds cool, we’re not yet sold).
OK, so you can add both bandwidth or storage to any of our plans
Bandwidth: $.08/GB (additional $16/mo per 200 GB)
Storage: $.05/GB (additional $10/mo per 200 GB)
And whatever day of the month you signed up (whether monthly or yearly), that’s the day you’ll get billed for additional bandwidth or storage on a monthly basis.
This is one of the questions we receive the most. It’s very different by user or case, but the short answer is most customers overestimate what they need.
It's very difficult to give an answer without seeing any bandwidth data you might have from another platform. Get in touch with support and we'll do our best to help estimate.
You can see your usage at any time, and you can upgrade or downgrade whenever you want inside of your Spotlightr dashboard. (Sign up for a free, no-commitment 14-day trial right here if you want to see what your dashboard looks like!)
That’s a no-brainer for us. If you sign-up for a plan after your 14-day trial, you get 30 days to try out all of our features, totally risk-free.
That way, you get 44 days to see if we’re the right host for you.
If you’re unhappy for any reason, just let us know before the 30-day mark and we’ll cancel your subscription and issue a full refund. Even if you signed up for the yearly subscription.
(And we don’t put you through cancellation hoops. We’ll ask the reason, but that’s it! It helps us make the product better.)
Yep. If you’re paying month-to-month, your billing stops immediately when you cancel. If you’ve paid for an annual subscription, you’ll get a full refund within the 30-day period.
We have live chat right inside your dashboard. (You actually get answers from real humans.)
You can also reach us by email at support@spotlightr.com.
Our hours are officially Monday-Friday, 3 AM – 3 PM ET (but we often hang around outside those hours).
And we answer most tickets within the hour.
Yep. Would you consider us if we didn’t? 😃
It means that you can host your video somewhere else, like Youtube, AWS, or even Dropbox, and take advantage of the video player, email gating capabilities, and embedding.
Advantages? You save on storage and bandwidth.
Disadvantages? Performance and control.
If, say, you host on Youtube, we can’t help you if YouTube is having a problem.
Aaaand, only if you host with us can you get our HLS encryption to protect your video from unwanted downloads.
You can read up on more details here.
No duration limits! File sizes have an automatic cap to encourage users to compress their files for better performance, but you can ping our support team to request a file size limit increase.
Yep! Subscription tiers have changed a bit since then, but we’ll get you squared away.
Just shoot us an email at support@spotlightr.com.
