Frequently asked questions

How many tools are in the Video & Audio Editing Tools directory?

We list 41 products in 7 groups: Desktop Video Editors, Mobile & Online Video Editors, Animation & Explainer Video, Screen Recording & Live Streaming, Audio Editors & DAWs, Video Utilities, YouTube Growth Tools. Each listing links to the vendor's own site, and we only call a product a pick in the guides where we show our reasoning and the date we checked prices.

Which Video & Audio Editing Tools listings have a free plan?

None of the listings in this category advertise a free plan. Many vendors still offer a trial, so check each pricing page for the current terms.

Are the prices on this page current?

Treat them as a starting point. Vendors change plans, introductory discounts and renewal prices often, and a listing that says paid plans, see vendor has no verified starting price recorded. Confirm the price, billing period and renewal rate on the vendor's pricing page before you pay.
