## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. VN is a video editor for iPhone, Android and Mac with a multi-track timeline, keyframes and auto captions, and the vendor says it is free with no watermark. The VN Pro prices on the stores aren't labelled monthly or yearly, AI features use paid credit packs, and there is no web or Windows app.

- **Value for money: C.** VN Pro shows $7.99 on iPhone and $6.99 on Mac, each next to a $69.99 or $49.99 price with no billing period given. Without knowing which is monthly, we can't say it sits above or below the category.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** Free to download, with multi-track editing, keyframes and templates and no watermark, per the vendor. One person could live on it.
- **Features: B.** Multi-track timeline, keyframes, speed curves, auto captions, beat-synced templates and a teleprompter. AI features run on credits, $1 for 100 on the App Store.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace VN Video Editor 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 3.0 is higher than 120 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools we grade.

- You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A video editor.
- You could not: A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
- You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
