Price before the call
Galxy lets a buyer understand the base commercial model immediately instead of starting with a custom pricing consultation.
GALXY VS UPLYNK
Galxy is the simpler self-service VOD choice. Uplynk is the broader broadcast platform.
Uplynk publicly supports a much wider professional streaming scope — live events, linear channels, VOD, APIs, monetization and advanced encoding profiles. Galxy should compete where breadth is not the requirement: straightforward on-demand video management with public pricing.

SIDE BY SIDE
A focused VOD platform versus an enterprise broadcast toolkit.
| Area | Galxy CMS | Uplynk | Where Galxy looks stronger |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public entry price | Start with $25 in credits | Usage-based; exact pricing through consultation | Buyers can see Galxy's rates before talking to sales. |
| Delivery / storage / encoding rates | Published individually in video-hour units | FAQ says ingestion, processing, storage and delivery contribute to cost; exact quote via sales | Faster self-service budgeting and procurement. |
| Primary scope | On-demand CMS + delivery | VOD, live events, linear channels, SSAI and professional broadcast workflows | Less platform surface area when the requirement is VOD only. |
| Ingest / encoding | Web-focused Galxy workflow; $2.50 per encoded hour | CMS uploader plus Slicer/Slicebot workflows; encoding profiles from 720p through UHD depending account/profile | Galxy's commercial model is easier to explain; Uplynk is deeper when advanced broadcast encoding is required. |
| API | Pro at $75/month | v2 and v4 APIs with signed authentication | Galxy keeps API optional for customers that only need the visual CMS. |
| Advertising workflow | Visual VOD Ad Cue Creator in Pro | Broader SSAI/monetization capabilities and ad integrations | For a buyer that only needs to place cue points, Galxy is a narrower, easier proposition. |

THE SALES POSITION
Do not try to out-Uplynk Uplynk.
Uplynk's breadth is useful to broadcasters that genuinely need live channels, live events, SSAI, advanced encoding profiles and a large integration surface. Galxy looks better when the buyer does not want to pay the organizational cost of evaluating a broad broadcast platform for a simpler VOD requirement.
VOD-first story
The product and website stay centered on manage, encode, store and deliver — not live-channel orchestration.
Optional complexity
Teams can add API and cue-point tooling with Pro without turning the base purchase into an enterprise deployment.
Best Galxy fit
Streaming services, media teams and creators that want professional on-demand infrastructure but do not need the additional live, linear and SSAI capabilities that make Uplynk attractive to large broadcasters.
DELIVERY$0.03per delivered hour
STORAGE$0.25per stored hour
