Vimeo secures application endpoints with encryption and requires authentication for session keys.

Public keys are authenticated before use and TLS 1.2 is the minimum standard for all external servers and applications.

And Vimeo has protocols in place to protect all Vimeo user data from creation to deletion:

• Data in Transit: User data, including videos, is encrypted during transmission using protocols equivalent to TLS 1.2 or AES 256 encryption.
• ‍Data at Rest: Vimeo ensures the encryption of non-video data and, whenever possible, video data at rest, while securely storing encryption keys with restricted access.

Claap uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) for cloud hosting and security, though Claap also has its own data encryption practices.

Vimeo offers four pricing plans:

• Free: One user, up to 3 videos, create and edit videos, screen recorder, and sharing and embedding.‍
• Starter: $12/user/month (billed monthly) or $20/user/month (billed annually), up to 60 videos, privacy settings, customized URLs, and automatic captioning‍
• Standard: $20/user/month (billed monthly) or $33/user/month (billed annually), up to 120 videos, online teleprompter, editing videos via text, and AI-powered script creation.‍
• Advanced: $108/user/month (billed monthly) or $65/user/month (billed annually), up to 500 videos, online events and webinars, multi-streaming, interactive live Q&A, polls, and chat features.

Claap’s pricing is structured as follows:

• Basic: Free for 10 videos per user, one team channel, and a 10-minute recording limit.
• Starter: $10/user/month or $8/user/month billed annually for unlimited videos and a 30-minute recording limit.
• Pro: $30/user/month or $24/user/month billed annually for unlimited recording and video conferencing integrations.‍
• Enterprise: Contact sales for pricing, billed annually; includes advanced integrations, API, and privacy settings.

Vimeo’s Google Chrome extension makes it easy to record videos right from your browser. They also have a blog, help center, guide, and a community forum to help users get started. 

On top of that, Vimeo also offers many keyboard shortcuts that make it easy to start and stop video and screen recordings without using your mouse. 

In summary, Vimeo supports high-quality, ad-free video hosting with customizable players and robust privacy settings. But the platform's advanced plans can be pricey, plus it lacks essential features like an automated meeting recorder and screenshotting functionality.

Claap is an intuitive platform for recording, sharing, and discussing videos. The channels and topics features create an organized space.

Additionally, the AI features can save you time and ensure no details get lost in the collaboration process, as can the automated meeting recording feature.

However, the lower pricing plans have a short recording limit (so you can’t manually screen record longer meetings) and don’t include meeting recording integrations. This makes Claap more suitable for short videos and less for use as a meeting note-taker.

Vimeo offers a seven-day free trial for each paid plan, or you can schedule a demo via their website.

Claap offers a free plan as well as a 14-day free trial of the Starter and Pro plans. You can also complete a form to contact the sales team for a tailored demo.
