Quick disclosure: Clipmasters is our company, so yes, we put ourselves first on our own list. We do not aspire to be humble. But we can aspire to explain exactly how our service works, and to be honest about who it is for and who it is not.
The basics first. You pay a monthly fee and get your own video editor. You send the videos you need edited, and your editor edits them. You can send as many requests as you want, and requests and revisions are unlimited.
That is the gist of it. Here is what we do differently from some of the other services on this list.
At most services, you sign up, send your first request, and your video goes to whoever has room to take you on. It is luck of the draw.
Over the years we have learned that creativity is subjective. Every editor on our team is highly skilled, and we make sure of that before we hire them. But skill is not the same as being the right creative fit for your content. A brilliant editor can still be the wrong match for your particular style.
That is why we built our editor matching process. In your first month, your creative project manager tests multiple editors on your content. Then you pick the one you like best. You do not pay extra for any of this. Once you have found your match, briefing gets easier. You repeat yourself less and less, and you go through fewer rounds of revisions.
Scale is $1,897 a month and gives you a part-time video editor for four hours a day. It is built for brands and teams that post every single week. Your editor spends those hours working through whatever is in your queue. They do not stop and wait for you to approve one video first. We do not run a “one active request at a time” model.
Most other subscriptions on this list do. They work one edit at a time, so your queue pauses the moment they are waiting on your feedback. Go quiet for two days, and your editing goes quiet with you.
Need more than a part-time editor? You move up to full-time, and from there you can stack plans. So your capacity grows as you grow.
Enterprise is the next step up, for bigger teams. We build a full crew around you, with custom workflows and editors who work inside your own tools, or ours.
We promise 24 hours on simple edits, and our 2026 average is closer to 14. But we will be honest about what that covers. It is for everyday work like short clips, reels, podcast cuts, and basic YouTube videos. A big brand film with motion graphics takes longer, and that is true at every service, not just ours. You can read our guide to real turnaround times for the full picture.
So how do we stay that fast? We use AI for the slow, boring parts, like rough cuts, captions, and matching colour across clips. Our editors handle the parts AI is bad at, like pacing, sound, and taste. That is the difference between us and tools like Descript or Opus Clip. Those tools make you do the editing yourself. We use AI to help a real editor do it for you.
Two last things. Every plan starts with a quick call, not a signup button, because we would rather check we are a good fit first. And if you are just starting out, we are probably not for you yet. If you only post now and then, a per-video service like Tasty Edits or a freelancer on Fiverr will cost you less. You will do more of the managing yourself, but that is fine until you grow. Once editing becomes your bottleneck, that is when a team like ours makes sense.
If transparent pricing is what you care about most, Vidpros is worth a close look. They publish the clearest per-hour subscription pricing here. The part-time plan is around $1,000/month for two hours of editing per workday, and the full-time plan is around $4,000/month for eight hours per workday. You always know exactly what you are buying.
The thing to plan around is the gap in the middle. There is not much between two hours a day and eight hours a day, so if your real need lands somewhere in the three-to-six-hour range, you will either pay for hours you do not use or push the part-time plan past what it is designed for. Their editors also work Philippine business hours, which is fine if your schedule lines up, but worth checking if you need work moving across your evenings.
Vidpros caps each editor at roughly four clients, which is a genuinely good sign for turnaround and continuity. If your need maps cleanly onto two or eight hours a day, this is a clean, honest option. If you land in between, our Scale plan covers that middle ground with a part-time editor, and you can scale up from there.
Vidchops runs on a credit-based model, and that is exactly why creators and agencies with a mix of long and short content like it. One credit equals one long-form video or four short-form videos, and you can split your credits however you want each month, so you are not locked into a single format.
The Weekly plan is $495/month for 4 credits with up to 3 revisions per video. The Pro plan is $995/month for 8 credits and steps up to unlimited revisions plus a dedicated account manager, which is the main reason to choose it over Weekly. Turnaround is a guaranteed 1 to 2 business days on both, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Two limits are worth knowing. First, finished videos top out at roughly 15 to 20 minutes, so this is not the service for long podcasts, webinars, or in-depth tutorials. Second, the offering does not include voiceovers or 2D and 3D animation, and captions on long-form cost extra. Independent reviews tend to describe the work as dependable and clean rather than creatively pushing, which is a fair trade at this price for talking-head and standard social content.
The Editor’s Connection is the most budget-friendly place to start, and it runs two different models side by side, so it helps to know which one you are buying.
The Limited plan is the hard-capped option. At $119/month, or $99/month on semi-annual billing, you get up to four reels per week, non-cumulative, with one round of revisions. That is the cheapest subscription entry here, and a sensible starting point for a business owner who needs a steady trickle of short-form.
The three Unlimited tiers (Basic at $699, Plus at $1,199, and Ultra at $2,099 per month, all lower on longer billing terms) work differently, and their own site is refreshingly honest about it. Unlimited means unlimited requests and revisions, but they work on one edit at a time, so the monthly output figures they publish, like 48 to 110 short-form on Ultra, are averages rather than guarantees. All three Unlimited tiers include a 15-day money-back guarantee and the same editor and post-production manager across your projects.
Two things to confirm before signing up. They operate Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm Central Time, which is narrower than always-on coverage. And independent testing has noted that while they are strong on standard editing, quality can wobble on complex or highly specific instructions. If your output is steady and budget is the deciding factor, this is a strong, honest pick.
Edit Crew is similar to Clipmasters in the sence that you buy a fixed bundle of editing hours per week. Essentials is $1,599/month for up to 15 hours a week, and Pro is $2,499/month for a full-time 40 hours a week. Longer billing terms bring those numbers down.
What you get for the money is more than an editor. Each retainer bundles a project manager alongside your editor, plus licensed music and footage and Adobe project files you can take over whenever you like. Turnaround depends on the tier: Essentials runs 1 to 2 business days, and Pro publishes 24-hour first drafts, so if speed matters and your work fits inside 40 hours a week, Pro is competitive with the unlimited services here.
The trade-off is the hour cap. If you know your editing load and you value predictability, a retainer is a clean way to buy. If your output is variable or climbing fast, those hour limits can start to pinch, and the jump from 15 to 40 hours a week is a large step with nothing in between.
Video Husky has built its reputation on done-for-you editing for solo creators, and after around six years in business it has the longevity that many services in this space never reach. Its three plans (Eskimo at $849/month, Siberian at $1,590/month, and St. Bernard at the top) give you a clear ladder as your needs grow, each with a dedicated editor and account manager.
Eskimo is the entry point, aimed at vloggers and small businesses, with the higher tiers stepping up resolution, runtime, and footage allowances.
A couple of things to weigh. The system is queue-based, so your editor completes one video before starting the next rather than running several in parallel, and the company does not publish its editor-to-client ratio, so how stretched your editor is behind the scenes is hard to know. The pricing page itself does not commit to a turnaround time either, though the homepage cites first drafts in 1 to 3 business days. If predictable, published turnaround matters to you, confirm that before you sign up.
beCreatives is a legit, well-established service, and it looks the part. The work quality is good, and they offer things most queue-based services do not, like 3D editing, multi-language editing, and white-label.
The Scale plan is $899 a month with a 2 to 3 day turnaround. The Pro plan is $1,999 a month and adds 1-day turnaround and real-time Slack. Like most services here, they work one edit at a time, so Scale realistically lands around 8 to 12 videos a month.
Here is where we would be careful. Independent testing points to these patterns It can take a long time to get your editor assigned, turnaround times get missed, and then you are nudged to upgrade to a higher plan. So if you do try them, pin down when your editor starts and what your plan really covers before you pay.
If you specifically need 3D or multi-language work, beCreatives is worth a look.
Before you compare prices, it helps to understand the model behind each service, because the model decides how the service handles your growth far more than the headline price does. Most buyers skip this step and regret it later.
There are four models you will run into.
The first is the dedicated-editor subscription (Clipmasters, Vidpros, and Edit Crew in spirit). You get a set amount of one editor’s time, and that same editor works your account. This builds continuity and is the easiest model to scale, because you add more editor time as you grow. The important detail to ask about here is whether the editor keeps working through your queue or stops to wait for you to approve each edit. We keep working; many do not.
The second is the credit-based subscription (Vidchops). You buy credits each month, and a credit converts into one long-form video or several short-form videos. This is the most flexible option if your output mixes formats and your edits are fairly standard.
The third is the hour-based retainer (Edit Crew, Clipmasters). You buy a fixed bundle of editing hours per week. This trades flexibility for predictability and suits buyers who already know their weekly load.
The fourth is the queue-based unlimited subscription (beCreatives, Video Husky, The Editor’s Connection). You send as many requests as you like, but the service works through them one at a time, so the published monthly output numbers are averages, not guaranteed ceilings. This is often the most affordable way into a subscription if you are happy to work through a queue.
Two adjacent options sit just outside these models. Superside is an enterprise creative subscription (roughly $5,000 to $40,000+ a month on an annual commitment) built for large teams that need high-volume, multi-discipline creative, not just video. And No Limit Creatives bundles graphic design and video together from around $499 to $949 a month, which is handy if you need both under one flat fee.
Once you understand the model, there are five things worth checking on each service. These usually separate the subscriptions that still feel great a year in from the ones that look fine on the pricing page and cause friction once you are paying.
Does the same editor stay on your account, or does whoever is free pick up the work? Services that match or assign you a dedicated editor (Clipmasters, Vidpros, Edit Crew) build real continuity. Watch for services that do not disclose their editor-to-client ratio, like Video Husky, because that number tells you how stretched your editor really is.
This is the question almost nobody asks. Most queue-based services pause work the moment they are waiting on your feedback. We keep your editor working through everything else in your queue, which is a meaningful difference when you are busy and slow to review.
Marketing claims and lived averages can differ. We guarantee 24 hours on basic edits, with same-day common on short-form. Edit Crew’s Pro tier publishes 24-hour first drafts. Vidpros publishes overnight on many requests. Video Husky cites 1 to 3 business days. Always check what is guaranteed versus what is typical, and remember that complex work takes longer everywhere.
Some services hand over editable files (we do once a video is approved, Edit Crew at handoff). Many do not commit to this. If you want to own your editable assets, confirm it before you pay.
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee with no contract. Vidchops, Vidpros, and beCreatives offer 14 days. The Editor’s Connection offers 15 days on its Unlimited tiers. Edit Crew has a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. The details vary, so read them.
It really comes down to a few honest questions about your own operation.
How many videos do you actually produce each month? If you are below roughly four videos a month, or you are still testing whether you will keep creating at all, a subscription is probably the wrong tool. You will get better value from a per-video service like Tasty Edits or from freelancers on Fiverr or Upwork, even though you will spend more of your own time managing them. Once you are consistently above that, a subscription becomes cheaper per video and gives you editor continuity on top.
Is your output stable or growing? If it is stable and fits neatly into a fixed tier, a queue-based unlimited plan or a fixed retainer works fine. If it is climbing month over month, look for a model that scales without forcing you to switch services, which is exactly why we built the move from part-time to full-time to stacked plans.
Do you need more than editing? If you also need motion design, graphic design, or content strategy, very few editing subscriptions cover all of it. Our Enterprise plan is built to assemble that wider creative team, No Limit Creatives bundles graphics and video, and Superside covers enterprise-scale creative. If you only need editing, almost any service here will do.
How fast and how predictable does turnaround need to be? If same-day on short-form is non-negotiable, weight that heavily and verify it against real averages, not just the marketing page. Be honest with yourself on all four, and the right pick usually becomes obvious.
