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 13 September 2026 against each service's own pricing page.
| Service | Views | Cost to your page | Price | How you pay | API |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DreamWidget | Unlimited on every plan, free included | About 27KB for logos, 15KB for video, in its own frame from a CDN | $6, $11, $20 or $37 a month; yearly $59 to $289; 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 paid plans; the app is temporarily deactivated past the limit | Loads a script into the page | $6, $12 or $24 a month at regular price | Card | Limited |
| Tagembed | 500 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 | Limited |
| Common Ninja Logo Showcase | Metered: a views allowance per plan | Loads a script into the page | From about $3 a month | Card | Limited |
| POWR Logo Slider | Metered by pageviews; unlimited only on the top plan | Loads a script into the page | From about $5 a month; the unmetered plan is about $90 | Card | Limited |
Competitor figures from their public pricing pages on 13 September 2026 (Elfsight Logo Showcase pricing, Tagembed pricing, Common Ninja's pricing guide, POWR's pricing help). Prices are the regular monthly price before yearly discounts. "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 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 against you: the widget and its images are served from a CDN with no per-view cost to us, so the free plan and the Studio plan are served the same way. The fair use note is the only boundary.
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 and adds no script, stylesheet or database table 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 between a widget and a plugin.
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 or XRP: 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, tablet and phone.
Questions
Straight answers
Which logo carousel widget has no view limit?
DreamWidget serves every plan, the free one included, with no cap on views: a widget is never switched off for being seen too often. Elfsight's Logo Showcase allows 200 views a month free and 5,000 to 150,000 on paid plans; Tagembed allows 500 free and 10,000 to 1,000,000 paid; Common Ninja and POWR meter 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 and adds no scripts to the site. 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 or XRP, 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 one kind. Basic is $11 or $99 for one of each. Pro is $20 or $169 for five of each. Studio is $37 or $289 for client work. A free plan with the DreamWidget watermark has no time limit.
