Current pricing — Mux vs Wistia
Which is cheaper for you?
Decision matrix based on verified June 2026 pricing. Assumes per-seat/monthly billing unless noted.
Wistia Free with 3 videos costs nothing. Mux PAYG charges from the first minute of storage and delivery -- even small usage adds up. Wistia is the zero-cost option for a solo with a handful of videos.
Wistia Plus at $19/mo is predictable for up to 10 videos. Mux at early scale is hard to predict and requires developer work to set up. For a marketing team embedding product demos, Wistia is simpler.
At high video volume, Mux's per-minute pricing beats Wistia Pro at $79/mo significantly. Mux scales linearly -- Wistia's plan caps force upgrades. Usage-based pricing with no per-seat overhead wins for scale.

Mux is API-first and built for programmatic video pipelines -- upload, transcode, stream, and analyze via API. Wistia is UI-first and developer-unfriendly for custom integrations or building video features into products.
Wistia wins for marketing teams embedding videos on landing pages. Mux wins for developers building video features into products.
