At a glance Starts at $0 Billing model Free plan Free plan or trial 3 GB embeddable, 1 TB bandwidth Sale attribution None Best for Public video that is not embedded Website [Vimeo Free official site](https://vimeo.com) ### What drives your bill Bandwidth for embeddable and non-public video is 1 TB a month. Public videos that are not embedded have no bandwidth limit and do not use that allowance. Embeddable storage, including public videos you place on your own site, shares one 3 GB pool. Beyond that limit, the newest videos are restricted first. Password protection, unlisted links and embed-only settings are unavailable on the Free plan, and hiding the logo requires a paid plan. For a VSL on cold paid traffic, weigh the pricing model against what you get back. Vimeo Free is the pick if the video stays public on Vimeo and you do not need a library embedded on your own site. ##### What works * The player runs with no ads before, after, or on the video. * Public video that is not embeddable is unlimited. * Embeddable and non-public video comes with 1 TB of bandwidth a month. * The plan itself has no monthly charge. ##### What to watch * Embeddable and non-public videos share a 3 GB cap, and a public video still counts once you embed it. * Password-protected, unlisted and embed-only videos become Private if the account drops to the Free plan. * Hiding the logo requires a paid plan, and so do background and chromeless embeds. * Finishes are not counted when the file plays outside the Vimeo player, and the Free plan does not tie a play to a sale. ### Frequently asked questions Is Vimeo Free actually $0? Yes. There is no monthly fee. The limit is how much embeddable video the plan will store. Which views use the monthly bandwidth? Embeddable and non-public video. A public video that stays on Vimeo and is not embedded does not draw on it. Does removing the logo cost money? Yes. The controls that hide the logo and the player chrome are paid embedding features.
