Overcast - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Overcast’s Video Content-as-a-Service (VCaaS) platform is the simplest, fastest and most cost-effective way to view, review, approve, share, transcode, distribute, archive and control your content.

It’s cloud native and easily integrates with your existing technologies — therefore it’s future-proofed. It uses AI to automate processes, saving you money.

We work from a “single source of truth” and manage it with a “single pane of glass.”

It sits on top of a DAM — you just plug in micro-services orchestrated for your specific needs. You can simulate the cost before signing up. Ideal for remote working.

Overcast MAX is a suite of managed SaaS solutions to improve your workflows and tech stack:

1. Max Live Streaming — a simple, secure way to livestream broadcast events, town-hall meetings, product launches, training and everything else you can think of. Get up and running in seconds!

2. Max Storage — flexible cloud storage/archive solutions for large, complex video files. Manage your workflows in the cloud or with a hybrid solution that conforms to your workflows — not the other way around.

3. Max Transcribe — Overcast uses the latest AI and Machine Learning to transcribe the audio content in your videos. These time-based transcriptions are available for search and/or generating subtitles on the fly.

4. Max Recognition — we use the latest AI and Machine Learning to identify people, places, things and events in videos and images. Unique algorithms for video content significantly reduce the amount of time and effort it takes to manage content.

5. Max UI (User Interface) — service-designed to allow you and your business to use the terms that are relevant to your industry. So, while the media industry would refer to “assets” and “projects”, the security industry has “evidence” and “cases”. It’s all about ease-of-use.

6. Max Orchestrate — this is ideal for advanced organisations that have complex tech stacks needing workflow simplification. It’s not just about adding new services, but decommissioning legacy technology as well.

7. Max Identity — improve security and protect your identity through Single Sign On (SSO) and a number of Identity Security Techniques (including two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication and auto log off) — best practice choices for improving Identity Protection.

8. Max Editor — optimise editing workflows in the cloud. Max Editor ensures your audio-visual and graphics editors can use their preferred platforms, like Adobe or Avid, and still benefit from the collaboration and management of cloud workflows.

9. Max Simulator — this is the ultimate solution for understanding the Cloud Service Provider costs associated with storing and managing your content in the cloud. With 20+ inputs, we can run an accurate simulation to help you fully understand your hosting and storage costs.

Video Content-as-a-Service (VCaaS) makes video accessible to all. It reduces cost, reduces the time it takes to get content to market and increases revenue opportunities.
