Which one is for you
Pick FlexClip if
- Fits if you make short social or promo videos from templates in a browser
- Works for one person who needs subtitles added fast
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need 1080p free, as free stops at 720p
- Tight if you use AI a lot, since credits are yearly: 3,600 on Plus
- Watch out: each price sits beside a higher crossed-out figure
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, since it's web only
- Watch out: team plans for 1 to 10 seats are priced separately
Pick Wave.video if
- Fits if you want editing, live streaming and video hosting under one login
- Works for people who'll test the editor on the free plan first
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: watermarked exports and the FAQ says MP4 downloads need a paid plan
- Skip it if you need separate team logins, as the FAQ describes shared credentials
- Watch out: extra hosted embeds on Business cost 20 cents each a month past 200
- Watch out: captioning past 200 minutes costs 5 cents a minute, and the pages disagree on Business storage (500 GB or 200 GB)
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, as it's web only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
