Along with details, here's how to check out Vessel for **one year completely free.** But **you need to act fast.**

[![Vessel](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201bb080e1066970d-250wi "Vessel")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201bb080e1066970d-popup?ref=hypebot.com)

Vessel, the new online video destination founded by former Hulu CEO Jason Kilar, has left beta after a three month trial.

Vessel offers users willing to pay $2.99 a month exclusive access for 30 days to content from some of YouTube's top creators. Universal, Warner and Sony have also signed on to feed Vessel with exclusive windowed music content; and Vevo will offer curated content to Vessel's free tier.

In return, Vessel promises to share a large portion of that $2.99 with creators. The result, it promises, is more money than YouTube; with the potential of Google's broad reach after the one month exclusive window.

**One Year Free**

It's an important experiment that, along with services like Patreon, could net much needed revenue streams for musicians and other creators. That alone makes Vessel worth watching; and thanks to a free 72 hour launch offer, you can try [Vessel free for one year ](https://www.vessel.com/?ref=hypebot.com)– no credit card or other string attached.
