Uscreen

Membership video platform with branded mobile and TV apps for independent creators

As of 31 August 2026, Uscreen starts at $49/month. Uscreen hosts subscription video businesses and ships them branded iOS, Android and TV apps, but it charges a per-subscriber fee on top of the plan price, so the monthly cost rises with the audience rather than staying flat. Softwr lists it under Video Production. Uscreen is made by Uscreen, Inc., available on Web, iOS, Android, Roku.

Overview

What Uscreen does

Uscreen is a hosted platform for running a subscription video business: video hosting and streaming, a paywalled catalogue, live streaming, a member community, marketing pages, email and analytics, plus branded apps for iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV and Android TV. It targets independent creators and small media businesses who want a direct subscription relationship rather than depending on advertising revenue from a platform they do not control. Onboarding includes app store submission on the creator's behalf, which is the part most creators cannot do themselves. The commercially decisive detail is the pricing shape. Plans are published, which is unusual in this market, but on top of the plan there is a per-subscriber charge: 1.99 US dollars per subscriber per month on the Growth plan and 0.99 on the app-enabled plans, plus a transaction fee on one-off sales of 10 per cent on Starter and 5 per cent above it. A creator with 2,000 members on the App Essentials plan pays the 449 dollar plan fee plus roughly 1,980 dollars in subscriber fees, so the platform bill is dominated by the audience count, not the tier. Video storage is also capped in hours, 20 on Starter and 100 on the plans above, and live streaming beyond the first hour is chargeable. Buyers are fitness instructors, yoga and dance studios, hobby educators, faith organisations and niche documentary and enthusiast channels with an audience that will pay a monthly fee. In 2025 the company took a 150 million dollar majority investment from PSG Equity, so it is now private-equity controlled, which for a platform whose pricing already scales with your success is worth factoring into a multi-year plan. The trade-off against a general video host is that Uscreen only makes sense if you are charging for access; if your video is free and monetised elsewhere, the subscriber fee has nothing to attach to.

What people use it for

A fitness or yoga instructor with a paying membership who needs an Apple TV and Roku app because members watch on a television, not a laptop.
A niche documentary or enthusiast channel moving off advertising revenue to a direct subscription because the platform algorithm stopped delivering.
A dance or martial arts studio selling on-demand classes plus scheduled live sessions to the same members under one login.
A faith organisation or membership body distributing recorded talks to a paying congregation with its own branded app rather than a public video channel.

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Uscreen.

The per-subscriber fee means the bill grows with the audience, so a creator with several thousand members pays far more in subscriber charges than in plan fees, and the published plan price badly understates the real monthly cost.
Video storage is capped in hours, 20 on Starter and 100 above it, which a creator with a large back catalogue exhausts quickly and then pays to extend.
Branded apps only appear on the 449 dollar plan and above, so the tier that makes the product distinct from a generic video host is out of reach for a small membership.
One-off sales carry a transaction fee of 10 per cent on Starter and 5 per cent on higher plans, on top of payment processing, which materially changes the maths for creators selling courses rather than subscriptions.
PSG Equity took a majority investment in 2025, so the platform whose revenue already scales with your subscriber count is now controlled by an investor with a return horizon, and pricing structure changes should be planned for rather than assumed away.
