Why teams switch
Pay for video, not for a plan tier.
- The features marketers buy Wistia for (forms, CTAs, heatmaps, CRM sync) are on one affordable plan instead of spread across $79 and $329 tiers
- Storage in terabytes, so you never ration which videos to host
- Bandwidth is fair use: going over doesn’t stop your videos
- Built for WordPress, with a plugin that uploads from the editor and knows your members
Where Wistia is ahead
What Pellio doesn’t do yet.
- Webinars and live streaming
- AI dubbing with lip-sync (Pellio has caption translation and dubbing on the roadmap)
- Channels (Wistia’s branded video hubs)
- SSO for enterprise sign-in
- A long track record: Pellio is new
Switching
Bring your Wistia library in an afternoon.
Paste a Wistia API token and Pellio imports your videos with titles, descriptions, captions, thumbnails and projects as folders. The token is used for the import and never stored. On WordPress, the plugin finds your Wistia embeds and swaps them for Pellio in bulk, with an undo.
Questions, answered
Can I import from Wistia?+
Yes. In Pellio, choose Import → Wistia, paste an API token and pick the videos or projects to bring across.
Will my existing embeds break?+
Your Wistia embeds keep working as long as your Wistia account does. On WordPress, the Pellio plugin replaces them in bulk; elsewhere, swap in the Pellio embed code.
Is there a free plan?+
Yes: Pellio Free lets you try everything with a few videos. Paid plans start at $10 a month.
