Vidzflow vs YouTube: What’s the better Fit?

Both Vidzflow and YouTube work with Webflow, but they serve different needs. YouTube is free and popular, but lacks customization and shows ads. Vidzflow, on the other hand, offers an ad-free, fully customizable player built specifically for Webflow—no coding needed.

When to choose Vidzflow:

  • You want video hosting optimized for Webflow
  • You need on-brand videos without ads
  • You want faster loading times without buffering

When to choose YouTube:

  • You need a simple and free video hosting option
  • You don’t need to customize your videos
  • You want to upload more videos for free
