| The verdict | Editing by reading. Fast, and quietly opinionated about your voice. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Talk shows and small teams that want to cut by reading, pull clips, and stay in one window. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone who wants to sculpt sound by hand, keep every pause and breath, or send a guest who will only join from a phone. |
| The gotcha | Filler-word removal can flatten the performance, and media hours are a meter. |
| Public plans | Read public plan notes

| Pricing notes | Prices are per person. Current plan cards list 400 monthly AI credits on Hobbyist and 800 on Creator, separate from media-hour allowances. Creator adds 4K export and access to credit/media top-ups. Review the current charge for each AI operation. |
