Common questions
How is Outvid different from Vidyard?+
Vidyard is a recording tool — you record each video yourself. Outvid is an outreach platform — your AI clone auto-generates a unique video per prospect from a list, with scripts written from prospect research. Different category, different mechanic.
Do I need to record every video with Outvid like I do with Vidyard?+
No. You record once when you train your AI clone — a single 2-minute video. After that, every per-prospect video is auto-generated. You don't appear on camera again unless you want to.
Can Outvid replace Vidyard for outbound, or do I need both?+
For pure outbound prospecting at scale, Outvid replaces Vidyard. If you also use Vidyard for screen-recorded product walkthroughs or internal comms, those use cases can stay with Vidyard — they're complementary jobs.
Does Outvid integrate with my email sequencer the way Vidyard does?+
Outvid has native email sending built in, and exports personalised video links via CSV that drop into Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo, Instantly, Lemlist, and any tool that imports a list. Vidyard relies on third-party integrations for sending.
How does the per-prospect personalisation actually work end-to-end?+
You upload a prospect list or sync your CRM. Outvid researches each prospect — current role, tenure, recent news, public signals — and auto-writes a unique script per person. Your AI clone delivers each script as a video, ready to send.
How much does Vidyard cost, and how does Outvid compare?+
Vidyard is per-seat — third-party benchmarks put it around $59/user/mo (Starter) and ~$99/user/mo (Teams), with Enterprise custom; unlimited AI videos require the Video Agent add-on. Outvid is credit-based from $129/mo, so cost scales with sending volume rather than headcount. Check Vidyard's pricing page for current rates.
Is Outvid a good Vidyard alternative for outbound?+
For cold outbound at scale, yes. Outvid researches each prospect, writes a unique script, and generates a personalized video automatically — then sends it omnichannel with multi-step sequences. Teams that mainly need video hosting, internal recordings, or analytics may still prefer Vidyard; the two solve different jobs.
