- Cloudflare Stream is paid whereas youtube is free
- Youtube videos appears in search results and monetizing via ads but in cloudflare videos it doesn't
- Cloudflare’s unbranded video player matches the look and feel of an app without including links to third-party sites.
Cloudflare Stream and YouTube are different services. If you’re looking to upload videos to build an audience and drive traffic to your site, YouTube would be a better option. If you’re looking for a simpler video-hosting service for your app, paid course, or quasi-public videos without YouTube’s community and discovery aspect, go with Cloudflare Stream.
