The free plan is generous for testing, Starter is $59 per seat billed annually, and unlimited AI video costs another $24.

Overview
Vidyard is a video platform for revenue teams covering video messages, hosting, AI avatars and an AI Video Agent.
Users record screen and camera videos from a Chrome extension and send them by email, LinkedIn or other channels, with notifications and analytics on who watched.
AI avatars read a script in a stock or custom presenter, and the Video Agent add-on creates and delivers personalized AI videos automatically based on contact actions.
Paid plans add branded sharing pages, calls to action, captions and team performance reporting, and Teams and Enterprise add CRM and marketing automation integrations, SSO and custom permissions.
Vidyard integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Salesloft, Marketo, Gong and Zapier, has an API on Enterprise and offers an official MCP server.
