Logo and video widgets compared: views, load cost, and how you pay.
A logo carousel, logo ticker, logo slider or logo showcase, and a video gallery for YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and TikTok, are sold by several services. They differ most on three things a buyer rarely sees until later: whether views are capped, what the embed costs the page, and how you can pay. Here are the facts, checked on 23 October 2026 against each service's own pricing page.
| Service | Views | Cost to your page | Price | How you pay | API |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DreamWidget | Unlimited on every paid plan; 300 per widget a month on free | About 27KB for logos, 15KB for video, in its own frame from a CDN | $6, $15, $30 or $61 a month; yearly $59 to $599; free plan with watermark | Card, XRP, HBAR, SOL, USDC; x402 for agents | Yes: build, publish, count |
| Elfsight Logo Showcase | 200 a month free; 5,000, 50,000 or 150,000 on Basic, Pro and Premium, and 300,000, 600,000 or 1,200,000 on Enterprise; unlimited only on Enterprise T4, at $960 a year per app; the app is temporarily deactivated past the limit | Loads a script into the page | $6, $12 or $24 a month at regular price; Enterprise $42 to $112 | Card or PayPal | Limited |
| Tagembed | 300 a month free; 10,000, 50,000 or 1,000,000 on paid plans | Loads a script into the page | $19, $39 or $99 a month | Card, PayPal or wire transfer | Limited |
| Common Ninja Logo Showcase | Metered: a views allowance per plan | Loads a script into the page | From $24 a year per widget (about $2 a month), billed yearly only | Card or PayPal | Limited |
| POWR Image Slider | No view cap shown on its plans; slides are capped at 4 free, then 6, 10 or unlimited | Loads a script into the page | $5.94, $14.19 or $98.99 a month; billed yearly from $3.95 a month, top plan $79.19 | Card | Limited |
Competitor figures from their own pricing and product pages on 23 October 2026 (Elfsight Logo Showcase pricing, Tagembed pricing, Common Ninja pricing, POWR's Image Slider page). Prices are the monthly price when billed monthly, except Common Ninja, whose web plans are sold billed yearly only. POWR sells no logo product of its own; its Image Slider offers a logo slider template, so that is the row. "Loads a script into the page" describes an embed that runs inside the host page; a widget in its own frame cannot block the host page from rendering.

Views
Unlimited views, on every paid plan.
Most widget services meter impressions and switch the widget off when the month's allowance is used up, which is exactly the day the page is busy. DreamWidget never counts views on a paid plan: the widget and its images are served from a CDN with no per-view cost to us, so the Single plan and the Studio plan are served the same way. The fair use note is the only boundary. The free plan is the exception: each widget can be shown 300 times a month, then it pauses until the 1st of the next month and comes back by itself.
Speed
About 27KB, in its own frame, measured on every deploy.
A Logo Showcase is a 4KB page, a 20KB compressed engine and under 3KB of design; a Video Showcase is a 4KB page and a 9KB engine. Everything comes from a CDN with first bytes in tens of milliseconds, lazily, after your page, in an iframe that cannot delay your own rendering, with one short script beside it that sizes the frame, and no stylesheet or database table added to your site. A check runs those numbers against the live CDN before every deploy and fails the deploy if they grow. On WordPress this is the difference from a typical widget plugin; our own WordPress plugin only places the same frame.
Payment
Card, crypto, or x402 for an agent.
Pay by card through Lemon Squeezy, the merchant of record, so tax is handled. Or pay a month or a year in XRP, HBAR, SOL or USDC at the same price, from the account page. Or, if you are a program, ask the API for a plan and pay the 402 it answers with in USDC on Base, USDC on Solana, XRP, or HBAR and USDC on Hedera: the plan is on the account the same instant, and a new email gets an account and its API key in the answer. How x402 works here.
Video
YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and TikTok in one wall.
One Video Showcase gathers channels and playlists from all four, in tabs, and plays every video on your own page rather than sending visitors away. A scrolling playlist, a grid, a carousel: every layout, with each setting kept separately for desktop and phone, and a tablet following the desktop design.
Questions
Straight answers
Which logo carousel widget has no view limit?
DreamWidget, on any paid plan: views are never capped, so a paid widget is never switched off for being seen too often. The free plan shows each widget up to 300 times a month, then pauses it until the month turns. Elfsight's Logo Showcase allows 200 views a month free and 5,000 to 1,200,000 on paid plans, with unlimited views only on its top Enterprise plan at $960 a year per app; Tagembed allows 300 free and 10,000 to 1,000,000 paid; Common Ninja meters views too.
How much does a logo or video widget slow a website down?
A DreamWidget embed is about 4KB of page, a 20KB compressed engine for logos or 9KB for video, and under 3KB of design, served from a CDN in its own frame, so it cannot block the page from rendering. Beside the frame, the embed code carries one short script that keeps the frame the right height. These numbers are measured on every deploy.
Can I pay for a website widget in crypto?
Yes. DreamWidget takes cards through Lemon Squeezy, and XRP, HBAR, SOL and USDC as a prepaid month or year at the same price. AI agents can buy a plan by x402 in USDC on Base, USDC on Solana, XRP, or HBAR and USDC on Hedera, straight from the API, with no form.
Which video widget shows YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and TikTok together?
DreamWidget's Video Showcase gathers channels and playlists from YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and TikTok into one wall on your own page, in tabs, and plays each video in place rather than sending the visitor away.
Is there an API to build logo and video widgets?
Yes. The DreamWidget API makes a widget, sets its design, adds logos from URLs and video sources, publishes it and reads its counts, with an API key from the account page or from an x402 purchase. An OpenAPI document is at dreamwidget.com/openapi.json.
What does DreamWidget cost?
Single is $6 a month or $59 a year for one widget of any kind. Basic is $15 or $149 for one of each kind. Pro is $30 or $299 for five of each. Studio is $61 or $599 for sixteen of each, for client work. Every paid plan also holds one more widget on free terms: 300 views a month, with no Powered by line. A free plan with the DreamWidget watermark covers any 2 widgets, each shown up to 300 times a month, with no time limit.
