Vidude vs ThreeNow: New Zealand Video That Resonates
In Aotearoa, video is more than entertainment — it’s how we tell stories, share culture, and connect communities. While ThreeNow delivers TV shows and on-demand streaming, Vidude is a homegrown video platform that gives everyday Kiwis — from creators to businesses — the tools to share, advertise, and resonate with local audiences.
How ThreeNow and Vidude Differ
ThreeNow is a broadcaster-led streaming app focused on delivering television content like dramas, reality shows, and live programming. It serves viewers but does not provide opportunities for local creators or small businesses to publish their own video content.
Vidude, by contrast, is built for Kiwi participation. Anyone in New Zealand can upload, share, and monetise videos, making it a true community-driven alternative where local stories get the spotlight.
Why Vidude Resonates With Kiwis
- Open to all creators: From vloggers to educators, musicians to tradies, anyone can upload and grow on Vidude.
- Affordable advertising: Unlike TV ads on ThreeNow, Vidude gives SMEs cost-effective campaigns targeting New Zealand audiences.
- Community-first approach: Highlighting Māori voices, Pacific perspectives, and regional stories.
- Monetisation for all: Creators can earn revenue from their first video, not just after reaching high thresholds.
Vidude for Kiwi Creators
ThreeNow focuses on broadcast-quality TV productions, but Vidude is where emerging Kiwi voices thrive. Whether you’re a musician in Wellington, a food vlogger in Auckland, or a teacher sharing tutorials in Christchurch, Vidude ensures your content is visible to audiences who care — New Zealanders.
With built-in monetisation, analytics, and community support, Vidude empowers creators to grow sustainably and stay authentic.
Vidude for New Zealand Businesses
Advertising on ThreeNow is tied to national campaigns and broadcaster pricing, which often excludes smaller companies. Vidude flips that model, making video advertising accessible for all businesses in New Zealand.
- 🎯 Target by region — Reach Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or rural communities directly.
- 💰 Budget-friendly — Perfect for SMEs, real estate agencies, tourism operators, and local retailers.
- 📊 Transparent results — See exactly how your videos and ads perform.
From tradies in Hamilton to tourism businesses in Rotorua, Vidude helps Kiwi companies connect with audiences without wasting budget on irrelevant global impressions.
EEAT: Building Trust in New Zealand’s Video Future
Vidude is designed around Google’s EEAT principles (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness):
- Experience: Built by Kiwi entrepreneurs and media specialists who understand local needs.
- Expertise: Focused on video hosting, creator growth, and affordable advertising.
- Authoritativeness: Already trusted by New Zealand creators, SMEs, and community groups.
- Trustworthiness: Transparent monetisation, NZ-based accountability, and safe moderation policies.
Unlike overseas platforms, Vidude is rooted in New Zealand and directly accountable to Kiwi users.
A True Alternative to ThreeNow
ThreeNow is great for watching shows, but it’s not designed for participation. Vidude is different — it gives creators, businesses, and communities the power to share and connect on their own terms.
👉 Creators: Upload and monetise your content.
👉 Businesses: Advertise affordably and reach real NZ audiences.
👉 Viewers: Discover authentic Kiwi stories that truly resonate.
