Different tools for different jobs.
Gling and Katto solve different problems. Gling is an AI editing tool, it removes silences, filler words, and bad takes from your raw footage. Katto is an AI clipping tool, it finds the best moments in your long video and turns them into vertical shorts. Here's a detailed comparison.
Gling and Katto complement each other more than they compete. Use Gling to clean up your raw footage, then use Katto to turn that polished video into viral shorts. But if you can only pick one and your goal is short-form, Katto delivers finished, ready-to-post clips, face-tracked, captioned and reframed, which Gling doesn't produce. Concretely, you paste a link and get ranked clips scored on Hook, Flow, Value, and Trend, reframed to 9:16 and captioned in 99 languages, on a flat €12 a month for 25 videos of up to 90 minutes.

Gling doesn't detect clips or score moments. Katto's AI identifies the hooks, takeaways, and shareable segments in your video and ranks them by virality.
Katto outputs 9:16 clips with face tracking, captions, and TikTok posting. Gling outputs edited horizontal footage, you still need to reframe and add captions yourself.
Gling supports 24 languages for speech and captions. Katto covers 99 with Whisper large-v3, so if you create in a language Gling doesn't reach, or want the widest coverage, Katto goes further.
€12/mo for 25 ready-to-post vertical shorts vs $10/mo for 10 hrs of edited horizontal footage. Both are fairly priced, they just produce different things. Katto includes face tracking, captions, 9:16 reframe and posting; Gling cleans up your long-form edit.
We believe in honest comparisons. Here's where Gling has an edge:

Yes. Katto has a free plan with 2 videos per month at 720p, no credit card needed. The Creator plan is €12/month billed annually (€15 monthly) and gives you 25 videos per month at 1080p, with no watermark, face tracking, and captions in 99 languages. Pricing is flat, with no credits to count.
Yes. Katto clips from both YouTube and Twitch, and it auto-detects webcam-in-corner gaming layouts to build stacked gameplay-and-webcam clips. If you make gaming content, that is one of the main reasons creators choose Katto.
Katto auto-captions in 99 languages using Whisper large-v3, with AI proper-noun correction, and word-timed captions in 41 of them — including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Japanese, and Arabic. The remaining languages get sentence-level captions.
No. There is nothing to migrate. Paste a YouTube or Twitch link, or upload a file up to 90 minutes, and Katto reclips it from scratch: it finds the best moments, scores them for virality, reframes to 9:16, and burns in captions. You keep your source video and simply get new clips.
Moving over takes a couple of minutes. There is no export or import step, because Katto works from your source video, not your old projects.
