Five revenue lines, all native. No 10% YouTube ad-share cut, no Vimeo per-subscriber fee. Counterintuitive insight from 1,200+ video website builds: hybrid SVOD + AVOD (subscription + ads) earns 2.1x more per visitor than pure SVOD on creator-scale audiences under 50K monthly viewers.
Per-video 24-72h rentals via Stripe. Email-bound license, signed-URL playback. The default revenue line for short films.
$3-12 avg rentalNetflix-style monthly subscriptions with metered free views, founding-member tier, profile switching per household.

$25-200 avg tip / moBrand sponsorships tagged “Sponsored” with disclosure schema. Sold direct, no ad-network markup.

Vimeo OTT was charging me $250/mo for the base plan plus $1 per subscriber. By the time I hit 230 paid subs, I was paying $480/mo just for hosting and a paywall. Appy Pie collapsed that into one branded site with no per-sub fees.
Naomi launched her indie OTT site on Vimeo OTT in 2024 to distribute 8 short films and one feature-length documentary. By early 2026 the site had 230 paid subscribers and $2,070 MRR at $9/mo subscription. Vimeo OTT was great for the launch but the math broke at scale: $250/mo base plan plus $1 per subscriber = $480/mo in fixed cost before content costs.
She switched to Appy Pie’s video website builder over a long weekend. The migration tool imported all 9 video files (re-encoded to HLS at 360p / 720p / 1080p / 4K automatically), her customer email list, past purchases and active SVOD subscriptions. Stripe Connect re-linked automatically and every active subscriber got a one-tap “your library is now at naomivale.com” email.
Naomi pocketed $480/mo in saved fees, kept her custom domain (which she’d been paying Vimeo extra for), and added two Vimeo-blocked features: a Patreon-style tip jar and a Substack-paid newsletter for early-access screenings. Annual revenue climbed 32% in the 90 days post-migration because tip-jar revenue and paid-newsletter conversions filled a gap Vimeo OTT couldn’t.
