How Hiway compares
Six honest comparisons. Where another platform does something better, we say so. The point is to help you pick, not to win an argument.
Vimeo OTT
Vimeo OTT wrote the white-label OTT playbook over a decade. Hiway rebuilt it around the link rather than the app, with 90% of every sale retained from day one.
Read the comparisonVHX
VHX solved the early OTT problem, then became Vimeo OTT. Hiway is built for what came after: direct-to-fan selling, syndication on tap, and 90% of every sale retained.
Read the comparisonDacast
Dacast is focused on live streaming and OTT delivery. Hiway wraps live inside the whole selling stack: SmartLinks, Screener Rooms, open syndication and a CRM you own.
Read the comparisonEventive
Eventive solved the festival screening problem. Hiway solves it too, plus the eleven other months when the festival is dormant and your audience is still watching.
Read the comparisonKinema
Kinema nailed the community-cinema screening workflow. Hiway covers the direct sales, the syndication, the live events and the audience data that follow the screening.
Read the comparisonTraditional distributors
A traditional distributor typically keeps 50% to 70% of what your film earns. It holds the audience data and pays months after the sale. Hiway changes all three defaults.
