Summary
Editor's update, July 2026: 19 Oct 2026 accuracy audit: replaced invented Amazon/MGM/Sony customers and crypto payments; pricing tiers corrected; removed unsourced $0.01 DRM fee; payment terms 3.5->3.0.
Muvi enables publishers to launch branded streaming apps across 16+ device ecosystems with built-in monetization models and robust DRM protection.
Muvi is a high-end, no-code OTT platform tailored for mid-market and enterprise publishers who need to launch comprehensive video or audio streaming services. By providing an all-in-one environment that supports web, mobile, and smart TV apps, it allows organizations to deploy professional, white-labeled media experiences without the need for extensive in-house technical development.
The platform's primary strengths are its diverse monetization options and its technical versatility. It supports SVOD, AVOD, and TVOD models, and notably does not take a share of ad revenue, which is a significant advantage for high-volume publishers. Additionally, features like automatic metadata translation and multiple payment gateways make it a strong choice for publishers targeting a global, fragmented audience.
However, Muvi's pricing structure and associated costs position it strictly in the premium tier, making it less suitable for small-scale creators or startups. While the feature set is extensive, bandwidth and storage overage fees can lead to a high total cost of ownership, particularly for services that experience rapid audience growth but have lower average revenue per user.

Vendors cannot pay for a score.
What size publisher is Muvi built for?
Muvi is built for mid-market publishers and enterprise publishers. That is the vendor's own stated target, and it is one of the inputs to our publisher-fit score — a platform that suits a national newsroom often carries more operational load than a small one can absorb.
What does Muvi cost?
From $339. (vendor pricing page, verified 2026-08-06) Our cost-of-ownership score is 2.0/5, which weighs pricing transparency, entry cost, implementation cost, hidden-fee risk and ongoing cost. Ask the vendor for a written first-year figure that includes implementation before you commit.
Who uses Muvi?
We have evidenced 5 publishers running Muvi. Adoptions are detected from site code, ads.txt records and published case studies rather than taken from the vendor's own customer list, and each one is listed on this page.
Can Muvi pay for a better score?
No. Scores come from our editorial review of the product's documentation, demos and public evidence. A vendor can claim this listing or request a re-review, but nothing they buy changes a score or a position.
