Which one is for you
Pick VEED if
- Fits if you make short social videos and edit in a browser or on a phone
- Works for adding styled subtitles and translations to existing footage
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, because exports are 720p with a watermark that can't be removed
- Pricey if you have several editors, since web plans multiply the price by every seat
- Skip it if you dislike metered plans, as AI credits refresh on renewal and unused ones don't carry over
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $25 for Creator against $146.99 a year
- Watch out: the pricing page shows local currency, the dollar prices here are App Store ones, and there's no desktop app
Pick WeVideo if
- Fits if you want a low-cost browser editor on a few dollars a month
- Works for schools and teams who record screens and edit in the browser
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 5 minutes of publishing a month, 1 GB and 480p
- Watch out: the pricing page shows Creator and Teams by default, and Power to Business only under Compare Plans
- Not for you if you want a refund, as fees are non-refundable, including the current period after you cancel
- Watch out: education plans are priced on a separate tab we didn't read

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.
