Phanfare

Overall Review:Read Reviews and Compare Phanfare

Star Reviews was highly impressed by Phanfare.  Although the site is not an alternative to YouTube, it does provide a unique set of features geared more towards families.

 Creating a slideshow with music and sending close ones an email with the link to your page is a great feature offered on Phanfare.

  • Unlimited video and photo backup provided by Amazon Simple Storage Service
  • FREE 30-day trial

Our team really liked Phanfare for appealing to those wishing to revolutionize their personal photos and home videos. You can create slideshows to share with friends and family members, as well as have the peace of mind that your content is safely backed up. The basic service is $6.95 a month, but we think this is a small price to pay. The customer support is great, the site is easy to navigate, and the only real drawback is that inexperienced users may have a little trouble getting comfortable with the Phanfare software.  Otherwise, it might be a great time to take advantage of their free trial membership and forgo traditional video sharing services. They earned our Top Rated spot with 5.5 Stars!

How could we check out video sharing services and not take a look at YouTube? After all, they are one of the big dogs and we just had to see what they offered. 

After spending some time at the site and uploading some videos, we can see why.  The site has some great features which allow you to customize your viewing experience and to take your favorite clips wherever you go. 

  • YouTube Mobile – Watch YouTube videos on your mobile phone
  • Channel Subscriptions-Get new videos whenever your favorite producer or channel has a new offering.

If you can make the video, then you can get it on YouTube with no problem.  The best part is that all of the services are free.  Of course, the customer service by email isn't perfect but the Help Center does provide plenty of assistance for the most common issues you'll face. We especially loved the video ratings, viewer comment function and related video searches. This site makes video sharing a breeze and endless fun to utilize. YouTube constantly makes headlines and has a huge following, earning them our Most Popular spot with 5.5 Stars!

Metacafe

Overall Review:Read Reviews and Compare Metacafe

Star Reviews thinks Metacafe is one of the best video sharing services on the Internet.  Thanks to careful research, we learned that Metacafe has a number of useful features, including a family filter to keep young viewers away from questionable content, and a good selection of user-created clips. 

There are hoards of videos here, and some really unique ones at that.

  • Production School-Take part in this video sharing classroom and get free advice on editing and uploading.
  • Producer Rewards -Earn cash when your video clips hit the 20,000 mark!

Our team appreciates any video sharing service that pays you for your efforts, and Metacafe does just this. There are millions of video clips housed on this site and t he customer support via email was fast and useful, even though some of the advertising on the site was a bit annoying.  But, the service is free, so you should be able to handle it. We especially loved how the Producer Rewards program actually lets quality video clips and producers earn some money for sharing their best videos. What incentive to come back for more! They deserve 5.5 Stars!



   

Crackle

Overall Review:Read Reviews and Compare Crackle

Star Reviews thought the Crackle video sharing service was pretty interesting. This site offers aspiring musicians, comedians and anyone else in general the chance to showcase their talents or hidden passions.

The site's contests offer some unique possibilities for achieving fame, plus using the service is free and fairly straightforward. 

  • High Wire-Ultimate comedy showcase videos
  • People's Choice-featured clips chosen by Crackle members

Unfortunately, there are plenty of ads on Crackle and the automatic loading clips can be annoying if you're trying to briskly browse the website interface.  On the plus side, Crackle does offer fast and effective customer support by email, which is a step ahead of their competitors. Overall, when we compare video sharing services, Crackle's benefits outweighed its drawbacks and we do recommend their site. They earned their video sharing service 5.0 Stars!



   

Motionbox

Overall Review:Read Reviews and Compare Motionbox

Star Reviews liked some of the features offered on Motionbox, but while their site is pretty simple to use, it simply doesn't provide enough features to help them compete with their competition. 

However, they do provide some nice features if you're just trying to learn the ropes of uploading and editing videos.

  • Ask Eric-Get video tutorials on all things video sharing, you can even win a $300 Amazon gift certificate by asking him a question!
  • Motionbox Mixer-Edit and mix videos easily

Overall, Motionbox doesn't really stand out amongst its competition, although it does offer some cool features. For example, their customer support via form/email is lackluster and the Google ads on videos are annoying. Their video sharing service is simple enough to use, though, so novice videographers shouldn't be left in the dark. We assign them 4.0  Stars!

If you love sharing videos and being part of an online community, then VidiLife is a great choice.  They are reminiscent of YouTube, so if you're familiar with that video sharing service, you should have no worries.

We liked the social networking feel to this website and besides sharing video clips, you can also blog, join clubs, rate videos, play games, and more.

  • Create playlists of your favorite videos
  • Create and send VidiLife videomail to anyone with an email address

Our team liked that this service was free, but there was a plethora of advertisements, and some seemed questionable, which we didn't love. Their customer support is also lacking, which is pretty common with sites of their kind, but still, an online form that continuously errors is not a good sign. We think this warrants them 4.0 Stars! 



   

VMIX

Overall Review:Read Reviews and Compare VMIX

If you're looking to make it in the entertainment industry, VMIX does provide something unique in their video sharing service: get noticed!

If, however, you're looking for a plain ol' place to share your home videos or wacky talent, this probably isn't your best choice.

  • The Fizz-a 30-minute program created by video bloggers which airs on DirectTV.
  • Contests-VMIX encourages users to be creative by rewarding them for great efforts with plenty of contests. 

This website is different from the competition in that they're corporate-sponsored. Apple and Universal are some of the names behind this video sharing service, so don't be surprised if you see trailers and advertisements all over the site. The site is free, which is a plus, but customer support has room to improve. There is a Help database, but the 'Submit a Ticket' form didn't warrant us a response. For this, we give them 4.0 Stars!
