Katto vs Gling

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.

Why choose Katto over Gling

Finds viral moments automatically

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.

Vertical shorts, ready to post

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.

99 languages vs 24

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.

Ready-to-post shorts vs cleaned-up footage

€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.
