Benefit from reductions in development cost when you switch to Bitmovin
It’s easy to get started with Dash.js but as your team is responsible for all development and maintenance it quickly becomes a more costly solution. The Bitmovin player ensures your viewers have a consistent experience across devices all while lowering costs.
As a HTML5-based player, Dash.js is unable to support native playback on iOS, Android or Roku. With Bitmovin you get dedicated SDKs, backed by extensive documentation, tutorials and video experts for each of these platforms.
