Bunny Stream alternative: a free player with your brand
Updated: November 3, 2026
Bunny Stream is a pay-as-you-go video platform for developers and businesses: storage, encoding and CDN delivery. It’s a great technical option, but if you’re a creator who wants to host videos with a good player without a bill that grows with every visit, Dembed is free and also pays you for views.
Why look for a Bunny Stream alternative?
On a pay-as-you-go service, every video that takes off raises your bandwidth bill. For a creator or a blog that can be a problem right when things are going well.
On Dembed hosting and playback are free: the player’s ads cover the service and part of that revenue goes to you. If you’d rather your viewers didn’t see ads, they can go Premium.
What Dembed gives you with no setup
- A player with your color, your logo or watermark with a link, subtitles and “Skip intro”.
- A lazy-loaded responsive iframe, and a direct link with a preview for social media.
- Delivery over Cloudflare’s network and adaptive quality (HLS) when enabled.
- Files up to 20 GB with multipart uploads, folders and daily stats.
- No API or billing: everything from the dashboard.
Bunny Stream or Dembed: what to compare before choosing
Before moving your library, compare these points on Bunny Stream and any other option. They’re the ones that most affect your audience and your earnings:
- How much they pay and how it’s calculated: Dembed shares the real ad revenue of each month with you based on your audience’s country, with a per-country breakdown in your dashboard.
- When you start earning: on Dembed every video earns from day one, with no subscriber or watch-hour minimums.
- Payout methods and minimum: Dembed pays via PayPal, USDT (TRC20), Payoneer or bank transfer from 25 USD.
- Viewer experience: ads in the player, no recommendations from other channels; viewers who don’t want ads can go Premium (part of that subscription also goes to creators).
- Max size and uploading: files up to 20 GB uploaded straight to storage, resumable, several at a time.
- Your brand: player color, logo or watermark with a link, subtitles and a “Skip intro” button.
- Clear rules: Dembed doesn’t allow copyright-infringing content and has a report button on every video, which protects honest creators and advertisers.
How to move your videos from Bunny Stream to Dembed
Tip: if your files are MKV, upload them as MP4 (H.264 + AAC) so they have sound in every browser. Our guide to converting MKV to MP4 explains how.
