Included, not free. The shop and every tool above come with every paid plan, from $9/month, at no extra charge. It is not on the free Starter plan. Included for members who switch it on before 31 December 2026, and kept for them for as long as the plan stays paid; after that window, new activations add $39/month or $429/year.
02 / YOUR OWN APPSINCLUDED WITH EVERY PAID PLAN
Your name
on the TV.
From 10 films in your library, your streaming service gets its own apps under your name, with your app name, accent colour and icon. Web, custom branded apps for iOS (iPhone & iPad), Android, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Samsung and LG TVs. Your films, collections and branding update in the apps on their own, without a new version.
- 01
Switch a store on
In your dashboard, under TV apps, turn on a store and follow its numbered steps, each with a Done tick.
- 02
Open your developer account
The account is yours and stays yours. You pay only the store: Apple $99/year, Google $25 once; Amazon, Roku, Samsung and LG are free. Uncompressed charges nothing for the apps.
- 03
Invite us, hand over
Add us to your store account (we never see your password), then press Hand over. We build the app, take the screenshots, write the listing and submit it.
- 04
Store review
Each store reviews the app before it goes live, so there is no fixed launch date. You follow its status in the dashboard and get an email at each stage.
Selling stays on the web
Nothing is sold inside any app. On Apple TV, iPhone and iPad the apps show what a viewer can watch and never show prices; on the other TVs, a locked film says where to buy or subscribe on your web shop, then sign in with the same email.
Limits, stated plainly. Apps need at least 10 films in your library and a paid plan. On Samsung, new sellers can publish in the United States only. LG has no team invitations, so we prepare everything and walk you through the upload.
03 / LEAK SHIELD$99 A MONTH FLAT, ANY PAID PLAN
Find who
leaked it.
Every buyer gets their own invisibly marked copy of your film. If a copy turns up, the mark says whose it was.
- 01
A copy per buyer
Each buyer gets a copy of the film carrying their own unique, invisible forensic watermark.
- 02
The web is searched
The open web and torrent indexes are searched weekly for the first month after release, then monthly.
- 03
You confirm
You review each sighting yourself. Nothing happens to a buyer until you confirm it.
- 04
Named, blocked, taken down
The buyer is named and blocked, the takedown notice is sent, and a PDF case file is kept.
$99/month or $1,188/year, the same on every paid plan. These controls reduce risk; they cannot guarantee that a film never leaks or that every leak can be traced.

Vimeo figures from vimeo.com/ott/pricing and the Vimeo Help Center pricing breakdown, read 12 October 2026; Vimeo's Streaming page also lists DRM, geo-blocking and apps on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Apple TV. uncompressed.io figures from the live price list. Card processing fees on your own payment account are not included in the uncompressed.io column. Branded apps: the creator pays the stores' own developer account fees.

Platform
fees.
A library of 20 hours of film exported at 20 Mbps (about 180 GB). On uncompressed.io the smallest plan that holds it is picked, with extra viewing blocks only when the plan's hours run out. Vimeo Streaming Starter would also need a $149 upload block for 25 hours, bought as needed and not counted below.

Vimeo: $1 per subscriber/month plus the 2.5% + 30 cents merchant fee on a $10 membership, as listed in its help center. uncompressed.io: plan price plus any $29 block of 20,000 viewing hours; your own payment provider's card fee comes on top. "You keep" is the difference in platform fees; Vimeo's membership figure includes its merchant fee, so your own card processor's fee reduces the saving on memberships. Vimeo's yearly figure is twelve times its month; ours is the yearly plan price (one month free) plus any viewing blocks for twelve months.

Vimeo: 10% + 50 cents per buy or rent, retained by Vimeo, as listed in its help center. uncompressed.io: plan price plus any viewing blocks; nothing per sale; your own payment provider's card fee comes on top. Vimeo's yearly figure is twelve times its month. Our yearly figure is the yearly plan price (one month free) plus any viewing blocks for twelve months. These are worked examples with stated assumptions, not quotes.
06 / MOVE FROM VIMEO STREAMINGSELF-SERVE, TODAY
Four
steps.
Open the shop today. A large library imports in a few hours.
- 01
Pick a paid plan
Start free, then choose Lite, Pro, Max or Studio and switch On Demand on in one click. Switch it on before 31 December 2026 and it stays included.
- 02
Connect your payment account
Connect your own payment account so every sale lands in your balance. Accounts that sell are asked to turn on two-factor sign-in.
- 03
Bring your films
If your films sit in your Vimeo account, sign in to Vimeo once and import them server to server; a large library takes a few hours. Or upload your masters.
- 04
Open the doors
Set prices and membership tiers, or put every film on sale with your defaults in one click. Point your own domain, re-grant past buyers from their emails, and invite your subscribers.
What does not move. Subscriptions cannot be moved from one payment account to another, so your members join again on your new membership; a free trial or a coupon code makes that easy. Vimeo links, comments and analytics do not transfer. Original files come over only where Vimeo kept them and exposes them.
Who should stay on Vimeo Streaming. If you run live events or a 24/7 live channel, sell advertising against your videos, need DRM, or need apps on Xbox or Vizio, Vimeo Streaming Enterprise does those and we do not. If you sell films, rentals and memberships and want to keep the whole sale, open your shop here.
BEFORE YOU SWITCH
A few answers.
Is it really zero commission?
Yes. Every charge is made on your own payment account, so the money settles in your balance and pays out to your bank. uncompressed.io never holds the money and takes no percentage of any sale, at any volume. Your payment provider's card processing fees still apply, as they would anywhere.
Is the streaming platform free?
It is included at no extra charge with every paid plan (Lite $9, Pro $39, Max $99, Studio $219/month), not on the free Starter plan. Included for members who switch it on before 31 December 2026, and kept for them for as long as the plan stays paid; after that window, new activations add $39/month or $429/year.
How much does Vimeo Streaming cost?
Vimeo's OTT pricing page, read 12 October 2026, lists Starter at $1 per subscriber per month and 10% of one-time purchases, web only. Its help center adds merchant fees of 2.5% + 30 cents on subscriptions, 10% + 50 cents per buy or rent, and upload blocks of $99, $149 and $199 for 10, 25 and 50 hours. Enterprise, with apps, live events and DRM, has no public price.
What does Leak Shield do?
One flat price for your whole account, however many buyers you have. Every buyer gets their own copy with a unique, invisible forensic watermark. The open web and torrent indexes are searched weekly for the first month after release and monthly after. You review each sighting; on confirmation the buyer is named and blocked, the takedown notice is sent and a PDF case file is kept. $99/month or $1,188/year, any paid plan. These controls reduce risk; they cannot guarantee that a film never leaks or that every leak can be traced.
Do my viewers get TV and phone apps?
Yes. Every paid plan includes your own branded apps, from 10 films in your library: Web, custom branded apps for iOS (iPhone & iPad), Android, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Samsung and LG TVs. Uncompressed charges nothing for them; you pay only the stores for your own developer accounts (Apple $99/year, Google $25 once; Amazon, Roku, Samsung and LG are free). The apps are published under your accounts and go through each store's review, so there is no fixed launch date. On Vimeo Streaming, native apps are an Enterprise feature with no public price.
How many people can watch?
Viewers are not billed per head. Each plan includes viewing hours a month: Lite 1,000, Pro 5,000, Max 15,000, Studio 25,000. Above that, $29 buys another 20,000 hours, added automatically, and playback never pauses.
Can I move my subscribers from Vimeo Streaming?
Their billing cannot be moved: a subscription lives with the payment account that created it. You open your memberships here and invite your audience to join, with a free trial or a coupon code if you want to make the switch easy. People who bought a film can be given access again from an email list with the Prior buyers tool.
What does Vimeo Streaming do that you do not?
Live events and a 24/7 live channel, advertising-supported video, DRM, and apps on Xbox, Vizio and the other devices listed on its Enterprise plan. If your business needs those, stay with Vimeo Streaming Enterprise.
