Keep Wideo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Wideo you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 92 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools grade higher. It costs $228 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
What this rests on. Wideo’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.
