Panda Video vs TrackPlay
Move your VSL from Panda Video and you see what each play returns: the order your cart takes lands on the viewing that earned it, Meta, TikTok and GA4 hear about it from the server, and split tests run on sales, with the video still locked to your domains. Here is how the two compare on pricing, analytics, attribution and paid traffic, sourced from their public documentation.
| At a glance | Panda Video | TrackPlay |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Bronze $17.90 a month (R$97,90 in Brazil) | $29 a month |
| Free plan | None. A 14-day trial with 100 GB of bandwidth. | 3,000 plays a month, no card. |
| Billed on | Storage plus bandwidth, each with per-GB overage. | Plays. |
| Verdict | Pick Panda Video to guard a course from pirates. | Pick TrackPlay to grow what a VSL returns per play. |
The attribution gap TrackPlay was built to close
Panda Video keeps your video from being stolen. TrackPlay protects it too, then tells you which viewing produced the sale and teaches the ad platform with it.
Panda's analytics are solid on watching: plays, retention, drop-off, devices, locations and traffic sources, with a retention goal you set at the CTA. They stop before the sale. Their cart integrations deliver protected video after a purchase; no cart posts the sale back, and no server-side conversion API is documented. Their A/B test compares plays and retention, and you declare the winner yourself.
TrackPlay reads the order your cart posts back. ClickBank, ElasticFunnels, Kiwify, BuyGoods, Digistore24, WarriorPlus or JVZoo verifies the sale on the server, Meta, TikTok and GA4 get the event, and a split test with conversion rate as its goal is decided on that sale. The winner ships on its own once the statistics are decisive.

Against a determined ripper, the stronger kit. | YesPlays only on your domains, enforced at the stream. Expiring signed links, country and device rules, bot and VPN blocking, and a decoy video for scrapers and downloaders. On every plan. |

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, 100 GB of bandwidth
- Bronze$17.90 a month (R$97,90), 200 GB storage, 500 GB bandwidth
- Silver$37.90 a month (R$197,90), 512 GB, 1 TB
- Gold$97.90 a month (R$497,90), 1 TB, 4 TB
- Overage$0.06 per GB stored, $0.03 per GB streamed
TrackPlay
Metered on plays
- Free3,000 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Panda Video cost?
USD plans run $17.90 to $97.90 a month, and the Brazilian plans R$97,90 to R$497,90, metered on storage and bandwidth, both with per-GB overage. TrackPlay meters plays, and overage only happens if you turn it on.
Does Panda Video track sales?
Their cart integrations run the other way, from cart to protected video. No cart posts a sale back, and no server-side conversion API is documented. TrackPlay reads the order your cart posts back.

Can I move my videos from Panda Video to TrackPlay?
Yes. Upload the same file, swap the embed code, point your cart postback at TrackPlay. The free plan covers 3,000 plays a month while you test it.
