Vidgram vs Hippo Video
Hippo Video is built for email. Vidgram is built for LinkedIn. If your team sells through LinkedIn DMs, here's what that difference means.
Why teams choose Vidgram
Built for LinkedIn, not email
Hippo Video is an email-first video platform that also works with LinkedIn via links. Vidgram is built from the ground up for LinkedIn DMs — video plays inline, not behind a URL.
AI scripting from live profile data
Vidgram reads the LinkedIn profile you're viewing and generates a personalized script using your team's messaging framework. Hippo Video has no equivalent.
Messaging governance for teams
The Messaging Console lets managers configure value props, personas, and tone. Every script generated for any rep reflects that configuration. Hippo Video has no messaging governance layer.
Phone camera quality, no app install
Scan a QR code, record with your phone's rear camera, and the video syncs back to the extension. Hippo Video only supports webcam recording.
