The report card
Best for cheap browser video editing for school and work
WeVideo is a timeline video editor in the browser, with Power at $4.99 a month on yearly billing. The free plan caps you at 5 minutes of publishing and 480p, and the pricing page shows two different plan sets.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Power is $4.99 a month on yearly billing ($9.99 monthly), inside the category's cheapest quarter. Unlimited is $7.99. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan with 5 minutes of publishing a month, 1 GB of storage and 480p export. Trials of Creator and Instructor have no stated length. |
| Features | C | Timeline editor, screen and webcam recording, stock media, interactive video and AI Assist, but the page shows two plan sets and education plans sit on a separate tab. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A web app where you build each video yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iOS and Android. No desktop app or integrations are listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

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 WeVideo you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $59.88 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. WeVideo’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.
