By Mara Vance. Prices verified with the vendor, October 2026.

What drives your bill

There is nothing to buy. Wistia retired Soapbox on September 1, 2024, the product is inaccessible, and plans do not renew. Record, on the main Wistia account, is the replacement the sunset article names. Calls to action, forms, heatmaps and A/B tests on a hosted Wistia video are Business features of that account.

For a VSL on cold paid traffic, weigh the pricing model against what you get back. Wistia closed Soapbox, and the files went with it. Record is the screen and camera tool Wistia points people to now.

What works

  • Sales reps used the Chrome extension for outreach. It combined screen sharing, links on the video and view tracking, and they said it brought more email replies.
  • Record now captures the webcam, the screen, or both, and saves the file to the Wistia library so you can trim it, add captions, share a link or embed it.

What to watch

  • The product is no longer accessible, plans cannot be renewed, and Support cannot view, download or recover the recordings that were left on it.
  • The sunset chart marks HubSpot meetings and Calendly on Soapbox's paid tiers and leaves both off Record, so a booking step at the end of the video needs another home.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still subscribe to Soapbox?
No. Plans do not renew, and the product cannot be opened. Recording continues inside a Wistia account, under Record.
Is there a fee to get the old files back?
Recovery is not offered. The sunset article says Support cannot view, download or recover those recordings.
Which Wistia plan adds a button on the video?
Business. Recording itself only files the clip in the library. The button, the form, the heatmap and the test are Business features.
