Pricing
Black stylized letter W inside a yellow circle.Module-Based Or Full Platform
Videowise is priced by module: Shoppable Video from $239/month, Live Shopping from $239/month, AI Clips from $159/month, and Content Creation from $99 for 80 AI videos.
Hour-Capped And Video-Capped Plans: Costs Scale As You Use More.
LiveMeUp's plans cap both streaming hours and the number of shoppable videos: Free (30 min streaming, 10 videos), Grow at $89/month (4 hours streaming, 50 videos), Scale at $249/month (12 hours streaming, 150 videos), Enterprise from $399/month. As your live strategy grows, you hit a ceiling fast, especially on the Grow plan where 4 hours of streaming per month is a meaningful constraint.
Live Shopping
Yes. From $239/Month. Full Multistreaming Suite.
Videowise Live Shopping delivers unlimited streaming with multistreaming across your site, social platforms, and Shop App; real-time product showcasing; in-stream checkout; gamification; AI-moderated comments; audience segmentation; real-time analytics; and RSVP email and SMS. Every live replay is automatically pushed to your on-site live show hub, and converted into short clips via AI Clips. Learn more about Live shopping.
Streaming Capped By Hours Per Month, And 720p Only On Enterprise.
LiveMeUp's live shopping is strong at entry-level but constrained by design: 4 hours/month on Grow ($89), 12 hours/month on Scale ($249). RTMP streaming for external encoders requires Scale. Klaviyo integration is Scale-only. Multi-host streaming is not natively supported. And 720p/1080p resolution requires the Enterprise plan at $399/month, meaning lower quality streams at every tier below it.

Why brands & retailers
choose videowise

True Classic Logo white
Videowise is the best video platform we've ever seen. Simple onboarding, great UI/UX, solid functionality, and an awesome partner to work with. We tested it on our site and it boosted our CVR.

We highly recommend trying it out in your store!
An average visitor watches 3.5 videos - that's 70 seconds of content.

Videowise added on average 26.5 seconds more time on site per visitor. We can attribute 60% of Videowise revenue to the story widget, it drives the best performance for us.
SNEAK Logo white
Videowise has given us the ability to feature product showcases and how-to videos on site to educate customers and build trust without compromising on page speed.

The platform is intuitive, and the team is incredibly supportive, constantly improving on their widgets and integrations.
Alpaka logo White
Since launch, we’ve observed clear lifts in both CVR and AOV on pages with Videowise content, alongside longer dwell time, lower bounce rates, and a healthy share of shoppers adding extra items directly from in‑video tags.
Videowise helps us to add shoppable videos to our site without slowing it down.

It’s helped us educate customers, build trust, and boost conversions, all without compromising page speed. A must-have for any modern ecommerce brand.
We deployed Videowise quite early on and then saw our competitors doing the same.
You don’t feel limited with the videos that you can put on your site, they are mobile optimized and there are a lot of video widgets that you can play around with.
To embed a video without a tool like Videowise, you have to build a container, figure out where you want to place it and that's just a simple video. [...] We operate 10 Shopify websites, so the ability for us to scale Videowise across as many of our sites as possible is a big deal.
They're always rolling out new features, some really cool features that could help bring your brand to life and really show the value of your products or your services.
