Legend: Yes = confirmed on an official source · No = not offered · ? = not yet confirmed (never a guessed check). “—” in Annual = no annual discount. “see site” = figure exists but the vendor page is JS-rendered.
Predictable cloud clipping that agents can use.
25 videos. No minute math. API and MCP included. Local clippers (Reelify, Ascynd) optimise for one person in front of one Mac; Katto optimises for the workflow that keeps running when the human leaves — cloud execution plus multi-platform publishing.
Methodology
Each price is read from the vendor's own current pricing page and dated. The annual column is the per-month rate under annual billing; "—" means no annual discount is offered; "see site" means the figure exists but the page renders it via JavaScript we could not read. Pricing models are normalised so credit / minute / hour / per-video systems can be compared. Feature cells (API / MCP / Auto-publish) show "?" unless confirmed on an official source. We never publish a guessed number.
