Vidude vs TVNZ + : Aotearoa’s Choice for Local Video
New Zealanders love video, but when it comes to choosing between global streaming platforms, traditional broadcasters like TVNZ+, and new homegrown solutions like Vidude, the needs of Kiwi creators and businesses are often overlooked. Vidude changes that — offering a community-first video platform built in Aotearoa, for Aotearoa.
Why Compare Vidude and TVNZ+?
TVNZ+ is a household name for on-demand TV shows, live news, and sports. It’s a broadcast-driven service built around mainstream entertainment. Vidude, on the other hand, is a video-sharing platform designed to empower local creators, small businesses, and communities.
The difference is simple: TVNZ+ streams content produced by big studios and networks, while Vidude gives everyday New Zealanders the tools to create, share, advertise, and connect.
How Vidude Puts Kiwis First
- Creator-focused: Anyone in New Zealand can upload, monetise, and share content, from vloggers and educators to musicians and small businesses.
- Affordable for SMEs: Vidude offers cost-effective advertising solutions, helping Kiwi companies compete without TV-level budgets.
- Local visibility: Unlike global platforms or broadcaster-driven apps, Vidude surfaces authentic Kiwi voices, Māori perspectives, and Pacific stories.
- Community connection: More than entertainment — Vidude is a space where creators, audiences, and businesses engage directly.
Vidude for Kiwi Creators
While TVNZ+ focuses on established shows and licensed productions, Vidude gives local creators a spotlight. Whether you’re a filmmaker in Wellington, a podcaster in Dunedin, or a student vlogger in Auckland, you can publish and be discovered by a real New Zealand audience.
Creators also enjoy monetisation from day one, fair policies, and collaboration opportunities with NZ businesses and fellow creators.
Vidude for New Zealand Businesses
TVNZ+ advertising remains dominated by large brands with national broadcast budgets. For smaller companies, costs can be prohibitive and reach too broad.
Vidude levels the playing field by offering:
- Targeted video ads by region, interest, or niche audience.
- Affordable campaigns tailored to SMEs, from tradies to retailers.
- Transparent analytics to measure reach and engagement.
- Trust-building by supporting a NZ-owned and operated platform.
This means a tourism operator in Rotorua or a real estate agency in Christchurch can reach the right people, without competing against international ad giants.
EEAT: Why Vidude is a Trusted Alternative
Vidude is built on Google’s EEAT principles (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness):
- Experience: Created by New Zealand entrepreneurs who understand digital media and local business needs.
- Expertise: Purpose-built for video hosting, advertising, and creator growth in New Zealand.
- Authoritativeness: Backed by early adoption from Kiwi creators, SMEs, and community groups.
