| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | $29.99 once on the US App Store, less than three months of a typical $14 video subscription. The add-on packs at $19.99 each are extra. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free version or trial on record. The editor is a paid download. |
| Features | B | Magnetic and track-based timeline, keyframes, color tools, LUTs, audio EQ and ducking, titles. Multicam, speed ramping and FCPXML export are paid add-ons, and the Android version has fewer tracks. |

Who LumaFusion is for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace LumaFusion you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 104 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools we grade. It costs $29.99, paid once.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- Apps for macOS, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. LumaFusion’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
