Tella vs Panopto

Tella gives individuals and teams what Panopto gives universities: secure hosting, analytics, and SSO. No six-figure enterprise contract or clunky LMS-era editor.

Panopto is an enterprise video platform built for universities and large organizations. It has strong hosting, analytics, SSO, custom domain, and playlists, but its editor is basic (no zoom, auto-layouts, or AI audio enhancement), and pricing requires a custom quote that often starts around $15 per user/mo.

Tella gives individuals and teams the same secure hosting, SSO, custom domain, and analytics at a published $13–19/mo per user — plus a modern editor with AI auto-cut, auto-zoom, and auto-layouts Panopto doesn't ship.
