The short answer
Vidova is an AI video editor: you upload clips, describe the video, and an agent cuts it on a timeline, from $49 a month for 8,200 credits. No plan is the best deal for everyone, because editors sell different things. Kapwing Pro and Descript Hobbyist, which also take plain requests, cost $24 a month. Filmora has the lowest list price here, from US$49.99 a year, and you make the cuts. Clipchamp's free plan exports 1080p with no watermark. To pay once for a full editor, DaVinci Resolve Studio is listed at $236.
Key takeaways
- The headline price often assumes yearly billing. Descript Hobbyist costs $16 a month billed yearly and $24 billed monthly.
- Credits do not compare across vendors, because each vendor prices its actions in its own way. Read what a credit buys.
- Free plans differ most on the watermark and the export size. Clipchamp exports 1080p with no watermark, and Descript and Kapwing export 720p with one.
The short answer: the best deal for what you need
- A cut made for you from a brief: Vidova Creator at $49 a month, or $490 a year. Kapwing Pro with Kai and Descript Hobbyist with Underlord each cost $24 a month, or $16 a month billed yearly. Each one counts its credits in its own way.
- The lowest list price with AI credits: Filmora Advanced, US$59.99 a year with 1,000 AI credits a month.
- Free with no watermark: Clipchamp, up to 1080p.
- Pay once for a full editor: DaVinci Resolve Studio, listed at $236, or Final Cut Pro on a Mac at $299.99.
- Clips from long videos: OpusClip Starter at $15 a month, or Pro at $14.50 a month billed yearly.

What a credit buys
Most AI editors sell credits, and one vendor's credit does not equal another's. A bigger number does not mean more work. These are the vendors' own figures:
| Editor | Credits | What the vendor says they buy |
|---|---|---|
| Vidova | 8,200 a month on Creator | The agent's work, generated media and cloud exports use credits, at the rates in the [price list](/docs/plans). Editing by hand and share links use none |
| invideo | 400 a month on Starter | 160 Nano Banana Pro generations, or about 15 Seedance 2 fast videos |
| VEED | 6,000 on Creator | About 1,500 AI videos |
| Kapwing | 1,000 a month on Pro | Auto-subtitling up to 1,000 minutes a month, and dubbing up to 50 minutes a month |
| Descript | 400 a month on Hobbyist | AI tools such as Underlord and Studio Sound. The pricing page does not say what each action uses |
| Filmora | 1,000 a month on Advanced | 20 or more AI features |
| CapCut | 700 a month on Pro | AI features, and video made with Seedance 2.0 Mini, up to 240 seconds at 720p |
Unused credits differ too. On Vidova, unused monthly credits stay for one more month, and a yearly plan's credits stay until it renews. Captions lets a balance reach 3 times the monthly allowance. OpusClip Pro keeps unused credits for 2 months. VEED resets credits at renewal.
Vidova's plans in full

- Every paid plan: no watermark, no project length limit and exports up to 4K at 60 fps.
- More credits: a top-up adds 1,000 credits for $12, and they last 12 months.
- One project: a Project Pass costs $25 once. It gives that project a paid plan's export size and no watermark, and adds 2,500 credits for that project, which last 12 months.
If you want the first cut made for you and then want to change it by hand, Vidova fits that, and hand edits on its timeline use no credits.
How to read an AI editor price
- Check the billing. VEED and invideo opened on the yearly price when we read them. Compare the same billing on each tool.
- Check for seats. Descript, VEED and invideo price each person, so multiply by your team.
- Check the plan with the tool you want. CapCut's help page lists auto captions under Pro. Descript marks Studio Sound as limited on its free plan.
- Check the export. A low plan can limit the watermark, the size or the length of an export.
- Check your currency. Many of these pages show a local price, and the same plan can cost different amounts in two countries. CapCut Pro is one example.
How we compared them
We read each vendor's pricing and help pages on 9 November 2026. The tables come from those pages, linked under Sources. We have not tested these editors against each other, and these prices say nothing about the quality of the edit. Vidova is our own product, so check its row against the others. If a page did not state a price or a limit, we left it out or said so.
