The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/video ## Keep it, 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. - 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.
