We’re excited to introduce the
Benchmarks Report
— a powerful new analytics tool that shows how your videos perform compared to industry-wide data across the Vidalytics platform.
Benchmarks give you
objective clarity
by revealing whether your metrics are strong, average, or underperforming. With percentiles, industry segmentation, and smart context, this report helps you optimize faster and make truly data-backed decisions.
⚠️
Restrictions
Available starting from our
Premium Plan
and up.
🆕
What’s New
Performance in Context
See how your video performance stacks up against anonymized, aggregated industry benchmarks — including:
  • Play Rate
  • Unmute Rate
  • Bounce Rate
  • Retention (25% / 50% / 90%)
  • CTA Click Rate
  • Play Gate Opt-In Rate
  • Conversion Rate
Each card includes:
  • Your metric value
  • Median benchmark value
  • Percentile ranges (25th / 50th / 75th)
  • Top/Bottom X% tags
  • Clear explanations
    of how your result compares
Segmented Comparisons
Benchmarks adapt based on:
  • Industry
    (Sales & Marketing, Health & Wellness, etc.)
  • Video Type
    (VSL, Webinar, Demo, etc.)
You can confirm or update your industry anytime to improve accuracy.
Flexible Filtering
Customize your benchmarking view by selecting:
  • Date range
    — affects your video data,
    not
    the benchmarks
  • Which videos are included
    in your comparison
  • Industry + Video Type
    — affects the benchmark set,
    not
    your data
Benchmark Data Quality
Benchmarks are generated using:
  • Strict eligibility rules for included videos
  • Aggregated, anonymized platform-wide data
  • AI-powered industry and video-type classification
  • Additional logic for recency, settings, volume, and video duration
  • Statistical cleanup methods to reduce noise and outliers
If a metric can’t be calculated or doesn’t meet data thresholds, the UI will alert you or hide benchmark comparisons.
Important Context
Performance metrics can be influenced by:
  • Autoplay settings (especially
    SAP
    )
  • Thumbnails
  • Play Gates
  • CTAs
  • Conversion tracking scripts
  • Viewer demographics and traffic sources
Benchmarks should serve as
guidelines
, not hard rules — always consider your content goals and target audience.

    – Number of individual viewers who reached this step.
  • Interaction Reach

  • Step Completes

  • Drop-off Rate
    – Percentage of viewers who exited before completing the step.
