Hippo Video
AI VideoVideo recording, editing and personalization for sales, marketing and support teams
Hippo Video is a broad video platform shared across sales, marketing and support, with personalization and avatars layered on a mature recorder.
Best for
Teams that want one video tool shared across sales, marketing and support rather than an outbound-only product.
Not great for
Outbound teams who want sending, lead data and booking in the same tool, since Hippo Video stops at creating, hosting and personalizing the video.

Hippo Video, in plain terms
Hippo Video is a broad video engagement platform used across sales, marketing, support and internal communication. The recording side is mature: screen and camera capture, a teleprompter, an AI editor, closed captions, annotation and branding controls. On top of that sit Video Flows, which chain videos and CTAs into a guided viewer journey, plus automated personalized videos where prospect variables are merged into a recorded template, interactive elements inside the player, and CRM integrations for cadence tools such as Salesforce and HubSpot. A separate text to video product generates videos from a script using stock or custom avatars, with a library the company markets as covering 30+ languages. Pricing is per seat and splits across those two product lines. Video messaging runs from a free plan through Pro and Teams to an Enterprise tier with a ten seat minimum, while text to video is metered by monthly video downloads. A custom avatar of your own face is sold as a $1,000 one time add-on, and a custom theme is priced the same way. The company has also moved into vertical AI agents for hotel revenue teams under the HippoRev brand, which is a different buyer to a classic outbound team. Hippo Video does not ship its own outbound sequencer or lead database, so sending stays in your cadence tool.
