Haivision vs Tella: at a glance
What is Haivision?
Haivision unveils Makito ONE and Falkon X4 at NAB, sharpening its mission-critical lane.
Two product strands run side by side: a contribution-encoder hardware reveal at NAB 2026 (Makito ONE, Falkon X4 with new ultra-low-latency workflows) and a steady cadence of mission-critical / public-safety content (drone-as-first-responder, ISR encoding, command-center video walls). Broadcast and defense-adjacent verticals are clearly where the product roadmap is being pointed.
What is Tella?
Tella adds a Free plan, redesigns the editor, and broadens distribution into Intercom and beyond.
Tella is in a sustained editor-polish-plus-distribution cycle. The big change: a Free plan now sits alongside Pro, paired with an in-product AI support assistant. The editor was redesigned with a left-side toolbar, lighter UI, and a new transcript sidebar. New layouts (50/50 split) and finer camera-bubble positioning (3×3 grid plus three sizes across orientations) give creators more compositional control. Distribution widens with an Intercom Help Center integration and a refreshed tella.com.

Haivision unveils Makito ONE and Falkon X4 at NAB, sharpening its mission-critical lane.
◆ Current state
Two product strands run side by side: a contribution-encoder hardware reveal at NAB 2026 (Makito ONE, Falkon X4 with new ultra-low-latency workflows) and a steady cadence of mission-critical / public-safety content (drone-as-first-responder, ISR encoding, command-center video walls). Broadcast and defense-adjacent verticals are clearly where the product roadmap is being pointed.
◆ Where it's heading
Haivision is leaning harder into the two verticals where it can defend price-and-margin: live broadcast contribution and government/public-safety video. The NAB product reveals are evidence that hardware encoders are still a core franchise, not a legacy line. ISR and command-center content is being seeded to support the defense sales motion. Expect a parallel hardware refresh on the government/ISR side and continued explainer cadence around video walls.
◆ Prediction
Next concrete signal is most likely a defense-vertical hardware or workflow announcement timed to a public-safety or defense trade show, mirroring the NAB reveal.
Tella
6.3COLLABMEETINGS
Tella adds a Free plan, redesigns the editor, and broadens distribution into Intercom and beyond.
◆ Current state
Tella is in a sustained editor-polish-plus-distribution cycle. The big change: a Free plan now sits alongside Pro, paired with an in-product AI support assistant. The editor was redesigned with a left-side toolbar, lighter UI, and a new transcript sidebar. New layouts (50/50 split) and finer camera-bubble positioning (3×3 grid plus three sizes across orientations) give creators more compositional control. Distribution widens with an Intercom Help Center integration and a refreshed tella.com.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is leaning into accessible-funnel-plus-creative-control: lower the barrier to start (Free plan), make the editor look modern and inviting, and embed videos where customers already are (Intercom). View notification controls and webhook events for viewer activity hint at an upcoming push toward integration-ready video analytics.
◆ Prediction
Expect more distribution surfaces (Slack, Notion-style embeds beyond Intercom) and AI features beyond the support assistant — likely auto-chapters, B-roll generation, or transcript-driven editing. The Free plan likely drives an experimentation phase before the next pricing/packaging tightening.
