What’s changing
The new Vimeo plans are:
- Free, now with unlimited public storage and bandwidth
- Creator, Core, and Professional for individuals
- Studio for businesses
Our old plans—Starter, Standard, Advanced, Plus, Pro, Business, and Premium—are being phased out and replaced by these new plans. You can still read about them in About Vimeo legacy plans.
Why we’re changing our plans
Our plans didn’t keep up with the different ways people use Vimeo. An independent filmmaker and a large company could end up on the same plan at the same price, with neither getting what they needed.
The new plans address this. You can read more about why we’re making these changes in our announcement.
The new plans
| Plan | Price (billed annually) | Price (billed monthly) | Public storage and bandwidth | Managed storage | Managed bandwidth |
| Free | $0 | $0 | Unlimited | 3 GB | 1 TB/mo |
| Creator | $9/mo | $16/mo | Unlimited | 50 GB | 1 TB/mo |
| Core | $24.50/mo | $40/mo | Unlimited | 500 GB* | 2 TB/mo |
| Professional | $71/mo | $120/mo | Unlimited | 7 TB | 2 TB/mo |
| Studio | $400/mo | Not available | Unlimited | 10 TB | 36 TB/yr |
*If you’re an existing user transitioning automatically to Core, your Managed storage is increased to 2 TB, so you keep all your previous storage. If you downgrade to Core or sign up as a new user, your Managed storage is 500 GB.
Public videos on Vimeo are now free and unlimited. Instead, plans differ by Managed storage, which is for non-public or embeddable videos only.
You can compare everything each plan includes in About Vimeo plans.
Which new plan will I get?
Unless you choose a different plan, your account renews under whichever new plan keeps your full storage and features at the lowest price:
- Starter or Plus: Core
- Standard, Advanced, Pro, Business, or Premium: Professional
- Accounts identified for business use: Studio
When will my plan change?
For most people, your plan changes at your next renewal. Since we’re rolling out the new plans gradually, some accounts will transition a few months later.
Either way, we’ll email you one month before your plan changes with your new plan, price, and date. The subject line is “Your Vimeo plan and price will change on [date].” You’ll also see notifications on your homepage and Billing page.
Before your plan changes, you can choose whichever new plan suits you best from our plans page, and your account will renew under that plan instead.
If you haven’t received the email yet, your plan change is more than a month away. You can check your renewal date on your Billing page.
What do I need to do?
Nothing, if you’re happy with your new plan. It renews automatically, and you keep all your storage and features.
If you’d like something different, you can:
- Choose a different plan: pick any new plan from our plans page, and your account renews under that one instead. If you choose Professional, your new benefits start right away.
- Cancel: cancel anytime from your Billing page. Your plan stays active until your renewal date, and you won’t be charged again.
What happens to my videos?
Nothing. Your new plan keeps all your existing storage, so every video stays where it is, with the same settings.
If you switch to a different plan, check that your embeddable and non-public videos fit within its Managed storage. If they don’t, some of them will be locked until you free up space or upgrade. Locked videos are never deleted. You can learn more in About Managed storage on Vimeo.
What if I use Vimeo as a business?
Accounts identified for business use aren’t allowed to use our new individual plans. Instead, they transition to Studio, which includes 10 TB of Managed storage, 36 TB of yearly Managed bandwidth, 10 seats, and priority support.
We identify business accounts using several objective, account-level factors. You can read more in our Plan Usage Policy.
If you use Vimeo on your own for personal, professional, or portfolio work and think your account has been identified for business use by mistake, contact Support and we’ll review your account.
Is there still a Free plan?
Yes, and it’s better than ever. Free now includes unlimited public storage and bandwidth, plus 3 GB of Managed storage for embeddable and non-public videos. You can read more about the new Free plan.
