How to choose a video AI tool
Start from the job, not the feature list. Most video tools can technically do the same things. Where they differ is what they cost once the free tier runs out, how much setup they need before they're useful, and what they're quietly bad at.
Price is where people get caught. Every listing below shows what the tool costs a month for normal use, divided down if it bills annually. If the useful half sits behind a paid plan, we price it at the paid plan.
A free tier you can do real work on is worth more than it looks, because it lets you test on your own material before paying anything. Trials sit in their own bucket: handy, but you're on a clock.
Then check the date. Video tooling moves fast, and the verified date is when a person last opened the pricing page and confirmed it. Leave a tool unchecked for a week and it loses the badge until someone looks again.
Every listing also carries watch-outs. If a tool is bad at something people assume it handles, that's where it says so, rather than leaving you to find out after paying.
