Business video marketing platform with hosting, customizable players and lead capture.
#3 of 7 in Video Hosting by Overall Score
Wistia hosts marketing videos with a customizable player, privacy controls, channels, captions, analytics, and audience engagement tools. Wistia Forms collect email leads inside videos, Calls to Action guide viewers to next steps, built-in Recording captures webcam and screen video, and webinar hosting adds live events with registration and viewer analytics.
Wistia Forms can appear at a selected point inside a video and pass captured addresses into connected email or marketing systems. Its HubSpot integration can attach an individual viewing heatmap to a contact's activity timeline, linking engagement back to the CRM. Wistia's documentation notes that the video lead form cannot be applied to audio content, a meaningful limitation for podcast-only libraries.
Calculated from facts we verified on Wistia's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 58 that orders our lists.
