reshare vs Streamable
Both turn a video file into a link that plays in the browser. The difference that matters most: videos uploaded on Streamable’s free plan are automatically deleted after 90 days, while a reshare link stays live until you delete it. Streamable takes bigger files (250 MB vs 50 MB); reshare adds versioning, password protection, and server-side view counts, free.

How it works
- 01
Sending a clip that should keep working?
Use reshare. The link is permanent, and a new cut can replace the file behind the same URL.
- 02
File bigger than 50 MB?
Streamable’s free plan takes up to 250 MB and 10 minutes; that is the honest place reshare does not reach yet.
- 03
Sharing more than video?
reshare hosts the PDF, the deck, and the page next to the clip, all as the same kind of link.

The honest summary
Streamable is a good clip host with a real free tier, and its 250 MB ceiling beats reshare’s 50 MB. Choose it when the file is big and short-lived. Choose reshare when the link is going into an email, a doc, or a runbook that will still be read next quarter, because the 90-day deletion on Streamable’s free plan is exactly the kind of quiet breakage nobody notices until a customer does.
