Which one is for you

Pick Katalist if

  • Works for editors who finish in Premiere Pro

Look elsewhere if

  • Watch out: two sets of prices appear and the page does not say which toggle is which
  • Tight if you want collaboration, which needs Unlimited at $99 with 2 seats
  • Watch out: image and video credits are counted separately, and monthly allowances reset
  • Not for you if you want Premiere Pro, as that starts on Pro
  • Skip it if you need a published Enterprise price, as there is none

Pick Mootion if

  • Fits if you make short videos from scripts and want voiceovers built in
  • Works for people who can use the cheaper EDU plan

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a free plan, as creating and downloading needs a paid one
  • Tight if you make long videos, as Standard allows 16 scenes a project
  • Watch out: extra credits start at $5 for 500 and are for paid users only
  • Pricey if you want speed, which needs Plus at $20 or Pro at $40 a month

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.
