The options, and what each one costs you
- Better if
- A faceless channel or content farm that needs consistent output every day.
- You give up
- The template look is the product: every output carries the same stock-footage rhythm, and matching a brand's visual language means replacing most of what was generated.
- Better if
- A small team editing social video in the browser without installing anything.
- You give up
- Browser editing has a ceiling: long timelines get sluggish, and the AI features are sold as add-ons, so the subscription grows with every feature you use.
- Better if
- A short-form creator who already has footage and only needs captions and polish.
- You give up
- It does one thing, so the moment a video needs a second thing — trimming, colour, a longer edit — you are back in another tool with the captions to re-export.
