From my point of view, when choosing a video software, I mainly consider it from three perspectives. The first is user experience, the second is video resources, and the third is membership rights and other aspects.

Because I don’t usually watch TV dramas, I basically do two things when I become a member of a video website: one is to watch football and basketball games, and the second is to watch American TV series. The copyrights of the five major leagues are simply too scattered. I basically only watch La Liga and Premier League games. Basically, there is no need to choose the NBA copyrights, it is Tencent Sports. Therefore, I will not discuss the membership of these two here. I will only analyze the ordinary ones. Video rights.

Currently, video websites are divided into three tiers, the first tier for iQiyi and Tencent Video, the second tier for Youku, and then the other third tiers, regardless of installed capacity, paid membership, daily active users, and monthly active users. Generally speaking, iQiyi and Tencent Video both have relatively large advantages, especially iQiyi, which is currently firmly ranked first in the industry.

Let me first explain that I opened iQiyi for a quarter before, and now I am a quarterly member of Tencent Video. Because I am a super member of Alibaba 88VIP, I am also a member of Youku. Let me talk about it based on my experience.

In terms of membership prices, currently there is not much difference in membership prices among the three in terms of network terminals. However, although the price of the three video websites seems to be only slightly different, in fact, each has its own way of playing. Among them, iQiyi is the most practical and does not have so many tricks. Tencent has as always a variety of tricks and various members. Level, Youku is more stupid, why do you say that, I will explain one by one.

Currently, iQiyi is divided into two types of members (sports members are not discussed here), one is gold VIP members, and the other is diamond VIP members. Gold members can only be used on network terminals, that is Diamond members can use mobile phones, computers, tablets, etc. on TV terminals.

I only tried it on my mobile phone and computer web client. The mobile phone was an iPhone. I didn’t test the Android phone. I also tried it on the computer client to see if the membership price would be different. I didn’t have a mobile phone at hand, so I couldn’t test it. , you can try it yourself. The conclusion I came to is that for the subscription service on the iPhone, the gold VIP continuous monthly subscription is 19 yuan/month, while the diamond VIP price is 60 yuan/month, and there is no continuous monthly subscription option, while opening on the computer web page is 15 yuan respectively. /month and 49.8 yuan/month.

Tencent Video is also divided into two types of memberships, one is Tencent Video VIP and the other is Super Film and Television VIP, which correspond to iQiyi’s gold membership and diamond membership respectively in terms of functional differences. The price is basically the same as that of iQiyi, but the other thing is that Tencent Video has a continuous seasonal subscription. The price on the iPhone is a little lower than the continuous monthly subscription price. There is no difference on the PC side.

For Youku, if you are like me, it is a good deal if you purchase Tmall 88VIP. Because I am a Tmall super member, I can purchase 88VIP for 88 yuan. Of course, ordinary members can also purchase 888. Yuan to buy, it is a little more expensive, so it is more cost-effective to buy it this way. This membership includes the four major memberships of Xiami Music, Taopiaopiao, Youku, and Ele.me, and enjoys a 50% discount on Tmall Supermarket throughout the year, a 55% discount on international direct-operated stores, a 55% discount on selected brands, and a value of 300 Yuan’s 3C digital coupon is still a good deal.

Why is it said that Youku membership design is stupid? It is because of Youku's price setting that if you purchase a Youku membership separately for a continuous monthly subscription, the price of a continuous seasonal subscription is the same as that of Tencent and iQiyi. However, the annual membership fee of Youku is 198, which is more expensive than the continuous monthly subscription price. Obviously this is unreasonable. Tencent Video is very reasonable, it is 178 directly. Although iQiyi shows that the original price is 198, it is 178 after discount, which is no problem.

Why not subscribe on iPhone?

Everyone knows that to subscribe to these services on the iPhone, you can only pay for the subscription through iTunes and then transfer it to iQiyi. Therefore, Apple has to charge "road and bridge tolls", which is the virtual service provider. The fees charged were the reason why WeChat’s appreciation function struggled with Apple for a long time. Therefore, if you subscribe on the iPhone, the price will definitely be more expensive than purchasing it directly on the website. The difference is 4 yuan/month, which is already very high, so be sure not to subscribe on the iPhone.

Finally, iQiyi membership is actually very cost-effective. Of course, if you don’t use JD.com like me, it doesn’t matter. If you are a classmate who uses JD.com, then it is very cost-effective. iQiyi membership purchase will It is given to JD.com members, which is great, but compared to 88VIP service, it is still too little.

If you are a Tmall super member (with a naughty value of 1,000 or more, you can actually chop it out by yourself or your girlfriend), you can directly activate Alibaba 88VIP service and just need For 88 yuan, you can get membership services including Youku membership at the same time, which is not a good deal.

In terms of user experience, there is really a big gap. The user experience of iQiyi and Tencent Video is very good, but Youku is really not good. Whether it is PC or mobile, the experience is really very poor. , after the website was revised and the new mobile version was updated, I recently found that it was slightly better, but the experience was really bad.

In the past, it took a long time to load videos, which was really uncomfortable to use. Tencent Video and iQiyi have adopted H5 players for a long time, and Youku has stuck to flash for a long time. For me, Mac users simply can't stand it. Flash under Mac is simply hot to death. Youku used to be my favorite video website besides YouTube, but then I gradually stopped liking it because the experience was so bad. Even now, even though I am still a Youku member, I rarely open it because the experience is different from the one I love. There is a gap between Qiyi and Tencent Video.

As far as the documentaries and American TV series I watch the most, iQiyi and Tencent Video are both strong, but Tencent Video seems to have an advantage in high-quality American TV series and documentaries, such as "Game of Thrones", "Underworld" "Family" and so on are only available on Tencent Video. It can be said that Youku basically has no advantage. My summary is that there are too few classic American dramas on Youku, and there are many new American dramas on iQiyi, but there are also not many classics, while there are many classic American dramas on Tencent Video.

Furthermore, you can watch NBA content on Tencent Video. You can also watch live broadcasts of free NBA games on Tencent Video. You can also watch replays of some paid games on Tencent Video. This is a big deal. advantages for students who love basketball.

In terms of Hong Kong dramas, Youku is the only one, while Tencent Video and iQiyi have relatively few resources. However, iQiyi also has popular dramas such as "In Genesis", which can be considered a good performance. Mainland independent dramas each have their own merits, but I feel that Tencent Video and iQiyi also have the advantage in this regard, while Youku’s advantage is not obvious.

As for variety shows, I don’t watch much, but it gives me the feeling that all three companies have their own variety shows, but it seems that Tencent has also launched a girl group. I can only say that the three companies are similar.

Of course, this is just my experience. I don’t know what your usage is like. You are welcome to start a discussion below.

In our daily lives, Tencent, Youku, and iQiyi are our three major tools for watching dramas. We basically use these tools to watch TV dramas, online dramas, movies, variety shows and other programs. There are several video playback software. I remember that in the past, these video players were free. However, since the formalization of copyright, major video websites have begun to purchase copyrights, and then there are "members", such as Tencent members. , you can watch some popular TV series, real-time live broadcasts of NBA and other sports events, etc. So the question is, which of these three video software is better? I only love Youku. If I were to rank the three major video software, I think they would be like this: Tencent gt; Youku gt; iQiyi.

The interface of iQiyi is mainly black, while Tencent and Youku are mainly white (default). Their LOGO layouts are all in the upper center of the page. The version and copyright information at the bottom are the same, but the difference at the bottom of the Youku page is that there are several more pinyin for "YOUKU", which further enhances people's visual dwell time.

In comparison, Youku’s black and white minimalist style impressed me even more, as it does not cause sensory fatigue.

We can clearly see from a table the comparison of the market conditions of the three major video software. As of September 2018, it can be seen from the table that iQiyi has a relatively high market share, followed by Tencent and finally Youku.

This table data reflects the comparison of users over a period of time, and also illustrates some issues. When choosing video playback software, users like to use iQiyi the most, and then It’s Tencent Video, and Youku ranks last.

Member price:

In addition to price, there is another major factor that can determine the market distribution of the three major software. That's what users want.

1. Advertising

2. Traffic

3. Barrage

4. Star chasing situation

5 . TV drama playback categories (real-time hot dramas, Hong Kong dramas, American dramas, variety shows, documentaries, etc.)

In addition, the last factor is age. The data shows that users of these three software mainly Concentrated among those under 35 years old, with the highest proportion among those aged 25 to 30; about 10% of iQiyi and Tencent Video users are 36 years old and above, and about 20% are Youku users over 36 years old.

I personally prefer to watch Hong Kong dramas. In addition, because the price is cheap, I prefer to use Youku video software. Of these three video software, which one do you prefer? Please leave a message.

Currently, these three apps are in use. I bought them several times before because of a "buy one year, get one year membership free" activity. Currently, the membership expiration dates of these apps are all in 2020. about. Let’s talk about the experience of using these apps:

1. Tencent is commonly used, and youku and iQiyi are used for specific programs. Because the copyrights are now exclusive to the platform, you can only watch them on a certain platform. For example, "This Is XX" can only be watched on Youku, and "One Piece" can only be watched on iQiyi. But overall, Tencent's films are very rich, at least For people of my age group (between 10-30), there are many types of animation, variety shows, movies, and TV series.

2. Drama Comparison: Key dramas will be released every year, such as Youku Autumn and Winter dramas, iQiyi ijoy Enjoyment Club, Tencent Vision Conference, etc. Among them, the dramas released by Tencent are very suitable to my taste. The genres include fantasy, freshness, and suspense. But unfortunately, the IP is good, but the leading actors are not. They are all traffic stars, so it is impossible to watch. However, it should be rectified this year. I look forward to the next one. If it goes well, we will continue to recharge and support it.

3. Section comparison: Currently, each app has a video section and a fan section.

Take Tencent as an example. The video section is yoo video, the fan section is doki, and the others are personal center and VIP member section. Other videos are similar and are currently classified in this way. Therefore, the functions are basically the same. I am not a star-chasing person, so I don’t see much of the fan section. But overall, Tencent should do the best because it has the traffic.

4. Screencasting function. Currently, most homes have a large TV in the living room. Judging from several apps, they are all very good. Not too difficult to operate.

So which software is good can be looked at based on the dramas released by each platform this year. Which content is good, this app is the best.

Personally, I think it depends on the types of videos that different people like to watch!

I first started using Youku because I was shocked by its old anime resources. After all, I am an anime fan! iQiyi comes second. In addition, there are many dramas and barrages at Station B, which I like to watch very much. Tencent has a lot of stuff, and probably has the most users. In addition, there are a lot of barrages. Personally, I feel that it is better to buy iQiyi membership than Youku. Tencent and iQiyi are neck and neck.

Next, I will look at the total resources of the three of them. It can’t explain anything, because Youku only displays a maximum of 1,200, but iQiyi can pull it down. So simply comparing some specific search content, if iQiyi resources are really only those displayed, then Youku has the largest number. I also searched for Tencent’s animations, and I was speechless in the end. Tencent does have a lot of animation resources, but they are all children’s animations!

Let’s compare the following resources!

In this category of popular movies, iQiyi is ahead of the others. Some movies that have been released recently basically require VIP membership. There are few free resources. Some even require extra money for VIP.

Among domestic dramas, Tencent’s video resources are slightly ahead of others. If you are a fan of dramas, Tencent and iQiyi are both good choices.

The amount of American drama resources is relatively small among several video websites, with Tencent Video leading the way, so if you like to watch American dramas, it is better to choose Tencent Video. In terms of Japanese comics, Bilibili beats the others, and it is basically free. Bilibili is indeed a two-dimensional paradise.

Documentaries iQiyi leads the way.

Therefore, you can choose the corresponding platform for the type of video you like, or you can consider it comprehensively. Tencent has the most paid resources among all platforms, you know!

Youku is an old video website with a mature operating model and a relatively complete range of TV series or movies! Membership is also very cost-effective, especially since Youku has invested in repairing many classic old movies in recent years. Videos that used to look blurry have become clearer. Moreover, there are many videos uploaded by self-media individuals that cannot be compared with other video websites, which makes me like Youku even more.

The first time I downloaded Tencent Video was because I wanted to watch a League of Legends game. I didn’t uninstall it after watching it and kept it. Occasionally watch various game competitions or live broadcasts! But recently I feel that Tencent Video is really good, and there are several popular dramas recently! I also like to use Tencent Video

The fact that it is ranked last is not because it is not good, but because I can’t find the TV series I want to watch recently, including Kyushu and Chen Qingjin! My girlfriend used to be a member, and I watched a few movies. Even though I was a member, there were still dozens of seconds of various ad recommendations. Although I could turn them off, it was very annoying!

Youku is the best, iQiyi is second, and Tencent is third!

My personal favorite is Youku. Because I love watching classic Hong Kong dramas, I use Youku more. In terms of price comparison, Youku's price is relatively cheap. During the Chinese Valentine's Day event, I bought it for 54 yuan for half a year and 9 yuan for a month.

The most important resource for watching videos, whichever video appeals to your taste is the best.

Youku is a genre that combines old and new movies. Especially in recent years, classic old movies have been restored. Many classic Hong Kong dramas and old movies can be rewatched, which is very attractive. Moreover, their classic and old movies are all exclusively broadcast. If you like this, you don’t have to choose!

iQiyi and Tencent have many new films and the resolution is high enough. However, there is a lot of overlap in resources between the two companies. In this case, iQiyi is usually chosen. For non-members, Tencent Video has the most ads and the longest time. Usually other companies’ ads last for 75 minutes, but Tencent’s ads last for 90 minutes, and there are two more breaks in the middle. This is to be honest.

In addition, iQiyi advocates light luxury and has an obvious membership system. As for Youku, there are many TV platforms and activities that it cooperates with. Some programs and dramas have exclusive broadcast rights, so there are many I also watch dramas on Youku, and Youku’s interface is relatively bright and simple.

In fact, there is no standard answer to the comparison of these three companies. It varies from person to person. Of course, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Which one do you like best? Let’s get going in the comment section!

1. In terms of tariff, iQiyi is the most cost-effective.

2. In terms of user experience, the experience of Tencent and iQiyi is better, but the experience of Youku is not very good.

3. In terms of video resources, Youku has relatively richer resources, but each company has its own main resources, so so far, the three softwares have stayed firmly on my mobile phone, forming a The three pillars stand firm.

As far as my personal experience is concerned, Tencent is better.

First of all, let’s talk about resources. In terms of film and television, iQiyi has a lot more resources than Tencent Video, such as X-Men, Transformers, Alien and other series, but Tencent Video is not complete. Tencent Video has much fewer free resources than iQiyi. Tencent Video does not have some of the classic TV series. Of course, Tencent Video also has its advantages. It has a relatively complete range of American TV series and NBA games. Youku gives me the feeling that it is more sentimental, and it provides people with a relatively large space in the self-media field. In the early days, many grassroots online dramas, such as Mao Liang Can't Die, can be watched on Youku. Moreover, many of Youku’s self-produced dramas are well-produced, and last year’s White Night was also a hit.

In terms of user experience, Tencent Video is better, mainly because it has wider promotional channels and can rely on WeChat, so it is much more convenient for users. For example, if my friend sees a program on Tencent and shares it with me on WeChat, I can open the mini program and watch it. However, iQiyi or Youku do not have this media platform, so I have to open it with a browser. In this way, I usually share it with me. I thought it was too much trouble, so I went directly to the website to search.

In terms of price, I have never become a member of any of the three video websites. I usually download whatever dramas I want to watch from Baidu Netdisk. There are no ads or barrage, which feels pretty good.

Nowadays, there are many video software for us to choose from. If conditions permit, it is recommended to install them all. However, if you really want to compare, I personally still think Youku Video is easy to use. Previously, Tencent, iQiyi and Youku were installed. Later, iQiyi was eliminated first, and then only Tencent and Youku were used. Now Tencent is just a decoration and rarely used.

In terms of their Android client experience, I think the best one is Tencent Video, followed by iQiyi, and the last one is Youku Video. I have to say that the Youku Video client is really crappy. , can’t be any more scumbag. There is no user experience at all. The video response is slow and you can’t click on it. The video interface is very ugly. There are also recommended memberships such as credit cards and so on. There are a lot of messy things in there. I really don’t know what a video software is doing with so many things.

Secondly, in terms of content quality, I think iQiyi is the best. iQiyi’s various self-made dramas and online movies are very popular, and various variety shows almost dominate the domestic market. A relatively famous variety show.

Secondly, let’s talk about it. In terms of self-produced dramas, Tencent Video also performs well, ranking in the second echelon with Youku Video.

Then there are social media, such as iQiyi’s bubble circle, which has a relatively large number of users’ attention and is very active, with various celebrities discussing things. The discount planet in Youku Video also has this function, but I don’t think anyone uses it, and it also takes up a space. Tencent Video has done a good job in this regard, because it does not do these things, and it looks cleaner and more pure.

As for the client, iQiyi has made a universal player, which I think is very good. However, I don’t think its client is very good, but it is still good compared to Tencent. It can be said that I choose the tall one among the short ones.
