Head to head
Bunny Stream vs Uscreen
One is the cheapest reliable way to host and embed a pre-recorded video, priced only on what you use; the other is a platform for running a subscription video business, with a Netflix-style catalog, branded apps and a community. The pick turns on whether you are hosting one video or building a membership.
You are down to two, and the first thing to see is that they solve different problems. Bunny Stream is video delivery infrastructure: it stores your video, transcodes it, hands you a customizable HLS player and serves it fast off a global network, and it charges only for what you use. Uscreen is a business in a box: it turns a video library into a subscription membership, with a Netflix-style catalog, native live streaming, a community space and, on its higher plans, branded mobile and TV apps its team builds for you. Both will host and play your video. They expect very different buyers.
This site judges video tools through one lens: does the player move viewers toward the sale, and can you prove what worked. On that test neither of these is a purpose-built VSL player, so the real question is which is the better home for a pre-recorded sales letter and its funnel. Here Bunny Stream is the closer, cheaper fit. It hosts and embeds the video for a few dollars a month and gets out of the way, leaving you to build the funnel with a funnel builder or a player like Presto Player on top. Uscreen expects you to build a membership site around the video, and a marketer running one sales letter to cold traffic does not want a subscription catalog, a community and an app store presence.
Where Uscreen earns its place is the job Bunny does not chase: recurring revenue. It is a genuine membership platform, not a bolt-on. Subscriptions, one-off sales and free trials are handled in the product, a community space keeps members talking, live streaming is native, and its standout feature is the branded apps, iOS, Android and TV, that it builds for you with no code so a membership feels like a real product rather than a login page. Uscreen says it has helped over 4,000 creators launch subscription businesses, and reviewers score it 4.7 on G2 and credit its onboarding and free migration. For a creator building a paid membership, that is a serious platform and Bunny is not the same thing.
There is a catch on each side. Bunny's is that it is infrastructure, not a player: no sound-first autoplay, no in-video CTAs, no sales-scored A/B test and no revenue attribution, so every piece of the funnel above the video is yours to build, and a widely-read thread alleged files disappearing from Bunny Storage, so keep masters backed up. Uscreen's is cost and commitment: Starter is $49 a month but caps at 100 subscribers, the branded apps come only with the $449-a-month App Essentials plan, a per-subscriber fee stacks on the base above Starter, and reviewers describe annual contracts they could not downgrade or cancel mid-term. And the catch they share matters most here: neither settles a split test on the sale or attributes revenue, so one more name belongs on this page, which we come to below.
Quick answer
Pick Bunny Stream if you want the cheapest reliable way to host and embed a pre-recorded video sales letter and you will build the funnel and tracking around it yourself, paying only for the storage and delivery you use; pick Uscreen if you are building a subscription video membership as a business, with a Netflix-style catalog, native live streaming, a community and your own branded mobile and TV apps, and you accept a per-subscriber fee on top of the monthly base and an annual contract.
One more option belongs on this page for a specific reader. Neither Bunny Stream nor Uscreen settles a split test on the cart-verified sale or posts that sale back to your ad platforms, because neither is a direct-response player. If your whole business is a paid-traffic sales letter and you want the test decided on the actual sale, TrackPlay is the newer specialist built for exactly that, and we line it up beside both below.
- Bunny Stream. The cheapest way to host and embed video here, and the closer fit for a pre-recorded VSL. Encoding, a customizable HLS player, watermarking and token security are free, and you pay only for storage from $0.01 per GB and delivery from $0.005 per GB, so a small library on modest traffic can run to a few dollars a month. The catch is that it is infrastructure, not a player: there are no sales-scored A/B tests, no watch-depth pixels and no revenue attribution, so the funnel around the video is yours to build.
- Uscreen. A mature membership platform for turning a video library into a subscription business: a Netflix-style catalog, native live streaming, a built-in community and, on its App Essentials plan and up, branded iOS, Android and TV apps its team builds for you, with subscriptions, one-off sales and free trials handled in one place. The trade is cost and commitment: a per-subscriber fee stacks on top of the monthly base above Starter, the branded apps come only with the $449-a-month App Essentials plan, and reviewers report rigid annual contracts. It is not a VSL player either: no split test scored on the sale, no revenue attribution.
- TrackPlay. Best when you want the split test decided on the actual cart-verified sale and posted back to your ad platforms server-side. It scores tests on the verified sale with real statistics and fires that sale to Meta, TikTok and GA4, from $29 a month with a no-card free tier. It is narrow by design: not a general host or a membership platform, and very new.

Strengths and trade-offs
Bunny Stream gives you the cheapest reliable delivery here and expects you to build the funnel yourself. Uscreen gives a creator a whole subscription-membership business with apps, community and billing built in, at a higher price and with a per-subscriber fee and annual contract to watch. Here is what each does well and where each will bite.
Bunny Stream: what works, what to watch
What works
- Usage-based pricing: encoding, the player and security are free, and you pay only for storage from $0.01/GB and delivery from $0.005/GB
- Fast global delivery on a 250 Tbps network with 119 points of presence
- Customizable HLS player, watermarking, hotlinking protection and token authentication are built in
- Resumable, API-first uploads that pair cleanly with players like Presto Player or Vidstack
What to watch
- No direct-response conversion tools: no sales-scored A/B tests, no watch-depth pixels, no revenue attribution, so a paid-traffic VSL has to add all of that on top
- Long-term users report uneven HLS start-up time and low cache hits on some accounts
- A widely-read thread alleged files disappearing from Bunny Storage, so keep original masters backed up elsewhere
- Usage-based bills scale with traffic, so a viral VSL costs more than the few-dollar examples suggest
Uscreen: what works, what to watch
What works
- Purpose-built for subscription memberships: a Netflix-style catalog, native live streaming and a community space in one platform, so members watch, chat and pay without you stitching three tools together
- Branded mobile and TV apps are the standout feature. Uscreen builds iOS, Android and TV apps for you with no code, and reviewers say the app makes a membership feel legitimate and lifts the share of viewing that happens in-app
- Real monetization built in: subscriptions, one-off sales and free trials, plus marketing automations and analytics, so you charge members directly instead of bolting on a separate cart
- Hands-on onboarding and free migration. A dedicated success manager walks you through setup, and reviewers repeatedly credit the team with making the launch of a site and app easy
- A 14-day free trial with no card, and a Starter plan at $49/mo, so you can test the membership model before committing real money
What to watch
- It is a membership platform, not a direct-response VSL player: there is no sound-first smart autoplay, no split test scored on the sale and no revenue attribution, so a paid-traffic sales letter still cannot prove which traffic actually bought from inside Uscreen
- The per-subscriber fee is the loudest complaint. Above Starter you pay $0.99 to $1.99 per subscriber on top of the monthly base, so a growing membership pays far more than the headline price, and reviewers describe the total take as high once fees stack up
- Annual contracts are rigid: Trustpilot reviewers report no mid-term downgrade or cancellation and being billed through the full term, so treat the annual commitment as firm and start on the monthly Starter plan to test
- Support and payouts can go quiet at the worst time. Reviewers report delayed payouts after cancelling and difficulty reaching a person to resolve a billing problem, so keep your own records and cancel in writing
- The entry price is not the price to run apps. Starter caps at 100 subscribers and mobile apps only begin on App Essentials at $449/mo, and the dashboard and marketing tools draw usability complaints, so budget and pilot for the plan you will actually need
TrackPlay: the paid-traffic VSL pick
Bunny Stream hands you cheap delivery and Uscreen hands you a whole membership business platform, and both stop short of the same thing: neither settles a test on the sale, and neither posts that sale back to the ad platforms server-side. Bunny scores no test at all, and Uscreen's analytics measure members, marketing and churn, not buyers. If your whole business is a paid-traffic sales letter and you want the test decided on the money, a third tool belongs on the table. TrackPlay is a VSL player and analytics platform built for paid-traffic funnels. On the front end it holds attention with sound-first autoplay, timed CTAs and watch gates. On the back end it draws per-second retention split into buyers and non-buyers, with hook rate, hold rate and revenue per play, so you can see the exact seconds to cut or protect.
Where it goes further than either of these is what it settles the test on and how it reports the sale. Neither Bunny nor Uscreen runs a split test scored on conversions; TrackPlay decides its split test on the cart-verified sale, with a real z-test, p-value and confidence interval, and runs every variant under one embed so your ad links and campaign learning never reset. The cart posts the verified sale back onto the play that earned it from seven direct-response processors, including ClickBank, ClickFunnels and Digistore24, server to server, and TrackPlay fires that conversion server-side to Meta, TikTok and GA4 so the ad platform learns from the actual purchase rather than a page-load pixel. It bills by plays rather than storage or subscribers, every feature ships on every paid plan, and there is a no-card free plan of 1,000 plays a month plus a 14-day trial, with paid plans from $29 a month.
What works
- Split tests are decided on the cart-verified sale, with a real z-test, p-value and confidence interval, and every variant runs under one embed so ad links and campaign learning never reset
- Server-side conversion tracking to Meta, TikTok and GA4 fires on the watch-time milestone you choose and dedupes browser and server events, so the ad platform optimizes on the actual sale rather than a page-load pixel
- Cart postbacks tie each sale to the play that earned it from seven direct-response carts, including ClickBank, ClickFunnels and Digistore24, server to server
- Per-second retention split into buyers and non-buyers, with hook rate, hold rate and revenue per play
- Every feature ships on every paid plan and billing is by plays, with a no-card free plan of 1,000 plays a month and a 14-day trial; paid plans start at $29 a month
What to watch
- Narrow by design: built for paid-traffic VSL conversion, it is not a general video host or a membership platform, so it has none of the cheap usage-based delivery of a Bunny Stream or the subscription billing, branded apps and community of an Uscreen, and is a poor fit if the video's job is general hosting or a subscription membership rather than a direct-response sale
- Very new, with thin outside proof: the testimonials are on its own site, there is little third-party review or Reddit footprint yet, and signup is currently invite-only, so you cannot lean on independent validation before you commit paid traffic. That is what you would expect of a platform this recent
Where TrackPlay is not the answer
It is narrow by design. TrackPlay is built for paid-traffic VSL conversion, not general hosting or a subscription business, so it is not a general video host or a B2B content library, and it has none of the cheap usage-based delivery of a Bunny Stream or the subscription billing, branded apps and community that make Uscreen a membership platform. If the video's job is content marketing, cheap general hosting, or the front door of a subscription membership rather than a direct-response sale, it is the wrong tool, and Bunny Stream or Uscreen is the better home for it. It is also very new, with thin outside proof: the testimonials are on its own site, there is little third-party review footprint yet, and signup is currently invite-only, which is what you would expect of a platform this recent. Pilot it on one funnel and reconcile the numbers against your own cart before you trust it with a proven offer.

Pricing, tier by tier
Bunny Stream does not sell plans. You pay for what you use, with a $1 monthly minimum, and the player, transcoding and security features are free. Storage is $0.01 per GB a month and delivery is from $0.005 per GB, so a small library on modest traffic can run to a few dollars a month. There is a 14-day trial and no card is required to start. The number to keep in view is that the bill scales with traffic: a video that goes viral serves far more gigabytes than the few-dollar examples suggest, so model your delivery at the traffic you actually expect.
Uscreen is priced as a business tool, and there is no free plan, only a 14-day trial with no card. Starter is $49 a month, paid monthly, and caps you at 100 subscribers with a 10 percent fee on one-off sales. Growth is $149 a month on the annual rate ($199 monthly) and adds unlimited subscribers, but with a $1.99 per-subscriber fee stacked on top of the base. App Essentials, the plan that carries the branded mobile apps most creators come for, is $449 a month on the annual rate ($499 monthly) with a $0.99 per-subscriber fee, and includes onboarding and free migration. TV apps, the community space and API access sit on a custom plan above that. Live streaming beyond the first free hour is $15 an hour, and storage overage runs $99 per 100 hours.
The two meter completely different things, so which is cheaper depends on what you are doing. For hosting and embedding a pre-recorded sales letter, Bunny is far the cheaper way in, because you pay only for the storage and delivery a single video uses and nothing for subscription billing, a community and an app build you would never touch. Uscreen's price buys the whole membership stack, which is worth real money if you are running a subscription business and dead weight if you only need to embed one video. Put a value on what you actually need before you compare the two numbers.
One cost note on each side. Bunny's bill has no built-in ceiling, so set your own usage alerts and keep original masters backed up after a thread alleged files disappearing from Bunny Storage. Uscreen's is the per-subscriber fee and the contract: above Starter you pay $0.99 to $1.99 for every active member on top of the monthly base, so a growing membership pays far more than the headline price, and reviewers on Trustpilot report annual terms they could not downgrade or cancel mid-term. Start on the monthly Starter plan to test the model before you commit to a year. Neither is a reason to rule the tool out; both are numbers to price before you commit.
TrackPlay prices differently again, and it is worth a line because it changes the model. It bills by plays rather than storage, seats or subscribers, so a high-traffic sales letter is metered on views watched, not gigabytes served, and every feature ships on every plan. Paid plans start at $29 a month, and there is a no-card free plan of 1,000 plays a month, watermarked, plus a 14-day trial of the paid features.
The verdict
Between these two, Bunny Stream wins for this site's core reader, the marketer hosting a pre-recorded video sales letter. It is the cheapest reliable way here to store and serve that video, the encoding, player and security are free, and it stays out of the way of whatever funnel you build on top. Uscreen is a real and well-built platform, but it is a subscription-membership business platform: its subscription billing, community, live streaming and branded apps are built for a creator running a recurring-revenue membership, and none of that machinery helps a single sales letter sent cold traffic. Two honest limits stay attached to the Bunny pick, and they are real. It is infrastructure, not a player, so there is no sound-first autoplay, no in-video CTA, no sales-scored A/B and no revenue attribution, and all of that is yours to build. And its bill has no ceiling and a thread alleged files vanishing from Bunny Storage, so watch usage and keep masters backed up elsewhere.
Uscreen wins the other reader, and it is a real one. If you are building a subscription video business, a membership where people pay every month to watch a growing catalog, join a community and use your own branded app, Uscreen is built for exactly that and Bunny is not. It handles subscriptions, one-off sales and free trials in one place, its team builds your iOS, Android and TV apps with no code, and reviewers credit its onboarding and free migration with making a launch easy. The trade is cost and commitment: the per-subscriber fee stacks on the base as you grow, the branded apps come only with the $449-a-month App Essentials plan, and the annual contract is firm, so start on the monthly Starter plan and price the fees at the membership size you actually expect.
The tie-breaker is simple. If you are hosting a pre-recorded sales letter as cheaply as possible and building the funnel yourself, buy Bunny Stream. If you are building a subscription membership as a business and you want the catalog, community and branded apps in one platform, buy Uscreen. And there is a third call for one specific reader: if your whole business is a paid-traffic sales letter and you want the split test settled on the actual cart-verified sale, not on viewing metrics and not on nothing, look at TrackPlay before you commit. Bunny scores no test and Uscreen scores none on the sale; TrackPlay decides its split test on the cart-verified sale with real statistics and posts that sale back to Meta, TikTok and GA4 server-side. It is the newer, narrower specialist and its outside proof is still thin, so pilot it on one funnel first.
Our pick
Bunny Stream
For hosting and embedding a pre-recorded video sales letter as cheaply as possible, Bunny Stream is the pick between these two. Encoding, the HLS player and the security features are free, and you pay only for storage from $0.01 per GB and delivery from $0.005 per GB, so a modest VSL runs to a few dollars a month. Just remember what you are buying: a fast, cheap pipe, not a player. There are no sales-scored A/B tests, no watch-depth pixels and no revenue attribution, so the funnel and the tracking around the video are yours to build. Choose Uscreen instead if you are building a subscription membership as a business, where the catalog, community, live streaming and branded apps earn their higher price.
