Switching

Where these numbers come from

Every price on these pages was read directly from the vendor’s own pricing page and carries the date it was read. Where a vendor renders its prices with JavaScript, the page says so and either cites a verifiable third-party record or gives no figure at all. An estimated price is worse than a missing one: it reads as fact, and it is not.

Three products in this category returned four, ten and thirteen words of body text before scripts ran when they were checked on 23 August 2026. That is why some comparisons here have gaps in them rather than guesses, and why a plan whose two columns could not be told apart in a single reading carries no figure either.

Read the billing period, not the number

Most pricing pages in this category display the annual rate by default and charge the monthly one unless you switch. The tables here name which rate each figure is, on every row, because the difference between the two is routinely more than a third.

The number worth comparing

Monthly price is the wrong axis. What matters is the cost of one finished video you would actually publish, which means dividing the bill by the output the plan really allows rather than by the credits it advertises. A cheaper subscription that produces fewer usable videos is more expensive per video, and that is the figure these pages work out wherever the vendor publishes enough to make it possible.

The second thing worth checking before moving is what you would be giving up. Every page here names the case where staying put is the better call, because for some of these products there genuinely is one: a tool built to caption footage you already have is not competing with a tool that sources footage for you, and swapping between them on price alone means buying the wrong thing more cheaply.
