The one thing Panda Video does not do

Panda guards the file. TrackPlay grows the return.

Nothing in Panda measures selling. Their cart integrations deliver protected video after a purchase; no cart posts the sale back, and no server-side conversion API is documented. Their split test ends with "clique em Declarar vencedor": you declare the winner yourself, by hand, on retention.

TrackPlay reads the order your cart posts back. ClickBank, ClickFunnels, Kiwify, BuyGoods, Digistore24, WarriorPlus or JVZoo verifies the sale on the server, Meta, TikTok and GA4 get the event, and the split test is decided on that sale. Declaring the winner still takes a click, but the test refuses the click until the statistics are decisive. No coin flips.

How we source this. Every Panda Video cell is taken from their own public site or documentation, last checked on 24 July 2026 at pandavideo.com.

Panda Video pricing vs TrackPlay pricing

Panda runs two meters at once, storage and bandwidth, each with its own overage. TrackPlay runs one: plays.

Panda Video

Metered on storage and bandwidth

Trial14 days, capped at 100 GB
Bronze$17.90 a month, 200 GB storage, 500 GB bandwidth
Silver$37.90 a month
Gold$97.90 a month
Overage$0.06 per GB stored, $0.03 per GB streamed

TrackPlay

Metered on plays

Free1,000 plays a month
Basic$29 a month, 5,000 plays
PRO$79 a month, 15,000 plays
SCALE$199 a month, 50,000 plays

A play is one real viewing session. Muted autoplay does not count, bots do not count, and the definition is published. Overage only happens if you turn it on. More than half of all web traffic is bots, per Imperva's annual Bad Bot Report. On a double meter with per-GB overage on both dials, every bot that loads your video runs up the bill and buys nothing. A play meter filters them out before they cost you a cent.

Which one is for you

Two different jobs. Take the tool that is built for yours.

Pick Panda Video if

Piracy is your biggest risk. If people are ripping and reselling your course, their watermarking and anti-download are built for exactly that fight, and it is protection we do not sell.

Pick TrackPlay if

You buy traffic, and you need the ad platform to learn from what actually happened. Server-side Meta Conversions API, TikTok Events API and GA4, fired on watch time, then the verified sale posted back from your cart. Start on the free plan and see it on your own video.
