FastPix Vs Dailymotion Pro

Dailymotion Pro and FastPix

FastPix and Dailymotion Pro both help you bring videos to your audience but they’re built with different goals in mind. Dailymotion Pro is great for hosting and distribution, while FastPix is built for developers who want to create, stream, analyze, and scale all from one place.

How is FastPix different?

1.  FastPix is an all-in-one video platform

FastPix gives developers everything they need to build, run, and scale video-centric products all from one platform. Unlike Dailymotion Pro, which focuses mainly on video hosting and playback, FastPix was designed for teams that want full control over the video pipeline from upload to analytics, and everything in between.

‍

Here’s what that looks like:

• Video-on-Demand fast uploads, instant encoding, and adaptive delivery across the globe

• Livestreaming RTMP, SRT, and HLS support with built-in simulcasting, instant live clipping and live-to-VOD

• In-Video AI subtitles, chapters, key moments, content summaries, and moderation

• Video Data real-time playback analytics, error tracking, and quality metrics

• Video Player fully customizable and available across web, mobile, and TV

• Cloud Playout for live broadcasting linear channels instantly and globally  

In short, FastPix replaces a patchwork of hosting tools and analytics dashboards with a single, developer-ready API.

‍

2. We build for developer

FastPix is designed for developers who want to ship fast without wrestling with infrastructure. You get production-ready APIs, SDKs for every major language, detailed documentation, and real-time webhooks everything you need to build video into your product without video expertise.

Teams using FastPix typically complete video integrations 70% faster than traditional hosting setups, freeing up engineering time for the features that actually move your business forward.

‍

3. We promise transparent and affordable pricing

FastPix pricing is simple and predictable. It’s usage-based built around minutes, not bandwidth or complex add-ons so you always know what you’re paying for.

We keep costs low and transparent, ensuring you get full access to every feature without having to upgrade or bundle extra services. You only pay for what you use, making it easy to plan and scale

Comparing FastPix and Dailymotion Pro

Dailymotion Pro isn’t just a different platform, it’s a different category altogether. While FastPix was designed to help developers build video-centric products from scratch, Dailymotion Pro was built for publishers who need a place to host and embed video. That difference shows up everywhere: in the APIs, in the developer surface area, in the product thinking, and in what you can actually build.

‍

‍

What that actually means

‍

If you’re building a video product a short video app, an online classroom, or a creator platform you need fast uploads, real-time encoding, adaptive playback, viewer insights, and full control over access. With FastPix, you can do all of that in one place and get your first video live in minutes using our SDKs and APIs. Dailymotion Pro supports live streaming and hosting but is built mainly for publishing and embeds. Customizing playback, adding watermarking or overlays, or tracking real-time playback data requires external tools or custom development. Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s look at how FastPix and Dailymotion Pro differ across key parts of the video workflow.
We’ll explore seven core areas from uploads and formatting to playback, analytics, and pricing.

‍

1. Uploads

Uploading is the first thing a creator does and it sets the tone for everything that follows. If it’s slow or unreliable, the whole experience feels broken. FastPix is built for speed, reliability, and scale. Here’s how it stands out:

• Accelerated uploads: our global edge network routes files to the nearest node for faster ingest, even on weak connections.

• Real-time encoding videos start processing as they upload, so playback is ready almost instantly..

• Context-aware encoding, every video is optimized for its content, device, and network, saving bandwidth and storage.

• Resumable uploads built-in recovery so uploads pick up where they left off — no do-overs, no wasted time.

‍

‍

All these features are built-in and available to all users of FastPix Video-on Demand, whereas you need additional AWS products (on top of baseline 10 products shown earlier) like AWS EventBridge Pipes for Webhooks. Oh, and you need to write all the connecting logic spread over a few sprints. Consequently, it takes a large team and 400% more time to build high-quality video products and experience using AWS in place of FastPix.

‍

‍

2. Video transformation and formatting

Once a video is uploaded, it needs to be prepared for playback things like creating thumbnails, adding watermarks, or stitching clips together. FastPix takes care of all this within the platform. Dailymotion Pro focuses mainly on hosting, so these steps often need to be handled before upload or outside the system. It’s a small difference, but one that really affects how quickly you can move from upload to playback.

3. In-Video AI

FastPix brings built-in intelligence to your video workflow. It automatically generates subtitles, summaries, chapters, moderation flags, and searchable metadata making your content easier to find, understand, and engage with. Dailymotion Pro doesn’t offer these tools. You can host and stream videos, but you won’t get transcripts or moderation.

4.Playback and Security

Playback is where users feel your product and where problems show up fast. Buffering, low quality, or videos that won’t load can ruin the experience. FastPix handles playback the right way. Adaptive bitrate streaming, signed URLs, DRM, and a customizable player are all built in and work across web, iOS, Android, and Flutter.  You can control how playback behaves, enforce access rules, and monitor quality in real time all from one place.

Dailymotion Pro offers a good branded player for embeds, but customization is limited. Features like geo-restrictions, concurrent stream limits, or low-bandwidth optimization aren’t natively supported, making it harder to create consistent experiences across devices.

5. Video Data & Analytics

Good video experiences run on good data. FastPix makes that data accessible from the start capturing real playback behavior, not just counts or views. You can see how videos perform, where issues happen, and what keeps viewers engaged. Dailymotion Pro provides top-level stats, but lacks the depth developers need to monitor real playback quality or diagnose issues in detail.

6. Developer Friendly

With FastPix you get APIs and SDKs across multiple languages, and client-side SDKs that cover uploads, playback, analytics, and telemetry. Dailymotion Pro also offers.Platform SDKs (for uploading, managing, and retrieving videos) and Player SDKs (for web, Android, and iOS).

7. Pricing Transparency and Simplicity
