What is mave?
mave is from mave.io B.V. in Rotterdam. You upload videos, mave encodes them and you put them on your site with its own player or web component; you get analytics without tracking cookies or advertising profiles. According to the page on European hosting, the application and video delivery run at Scaleway in Paris and files are stored at Hetzner in Germany. The core of the platform is open source, and according to its own blog post mave is ISO 27001 certified.
Good: fixed prices in euros, with player, subtitles and analytics in every paid plan. According to mave, a temporary spike in traffic does not take your videos offline.
Less good: there is no permanent free plan, only a 30-day trial. We did not find a data processing agreement for customers on the site, and the terms are in English.
