 "summary": "Custom player for YouTube-hosted videos: your own colours, watermark and thumbnails, with titles, logos and suggested videos hidden, plus viewer analytics and Domain Lock on higher plans.",

 "skip_if": "you need a real video host with encrypted streaming or DRM, want your files outside YouTube, or cannot accept an embed that depends on YouTube's terms",
 "honest_knock": "Your videos stay on YouTube, so KillerPlayer is a skin on top of someone else's platform: it does not host files, offers no DRM or encrypted streaming, and the page itself says it is not a host. Introductory prices apply to the first period only and renewals are two to four times higher, for example Starter at $24 then $48 a year. If a subscription lapses, embedded videos stop playing. The vendor says customers have not reported YouTube account penalties, but it also tells buyers to check YouTube's embedding policies themselves.",

  "notes": "(read 2026-11-08 on killerplayer.com/pricing, US dollars) KillerPlayer is a custom player for YouTube-hosted videos, and its plans differ by two numbers only: how many videos you embed and how many views they get a month. A free plan covers 5 videos and 500 views a month and is described as not a trial. Starter covers 50 videos and 100,000 views: $24 for the first year and $48 a year after that (shown as $2 a month), or $5 for the first month and then $12 a month, or $39 once against a standard $99. Plus has 100 videos and 500,000 views: $48 then $96 a year, $10 then $25 a month, or $69 once (standard $199). Premium has 500 videos and 2,000,000 views and adds Domain Lock and a custom domain: $72 then $180 a year, $15 then $35 a month, or $138 once (standard $499). Enterprise has unlimited videos and views: $96 then $360 a year, $25 then $55 a month, or $307 once (standard $999). The page says introductory prices apply to the first billing period only and renewals bill at the standard rate. The one-time prices are labelled a limited lifetime offer that ends 15 January 2027; the FAQ says a one-time plan lasts as long as KillerPlayer operates. Every purchase has a 30-day money-back guarantee. If a subscription expires, embedded videos stop playing until you renew.",
