Business video hosting with lead capture, engagement heatmaps, SEO, and custom players.
#5 of 7 in Video Hosting by Overall Score
SproutVideo hosts business video with customizable players, responsive embeds and automatically generated landing pages. Its marketing suite adds lead capture, in-player calls to action, post-play screens and video SEO, while viewer analytics show watch behavior through engagement heatmaps, device data and tracked viewers; native marketing connections and Zapier can pass leads into external systems.
SproutVideo's lead-capture gate can require an email address before embedded video playback and optionally request names. Subsequent engagement data identifies which sections the viewer watched, skipped or repeated; marketers may also tag known viewers using parameters in the embed URL. The platform can then connect playback behavior to an individual contact, adding detail beyond anonymous aggregate view counts.
Calculated from facts we verified on SproutVideo's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 49 that orders our lists.
