How we rank

Every one of these video editing tools is scored on the same 7 weighted criteria (scorecard v1), from the vendor's published data. 85 of the 105 listed have enough verified data to be ranked; a tool with under 60% of the weight covered is listed but not ranked. Nobody gets custom weights, including our own products.

Every criterion and score Methodology

Heaviest criteria

Entry price · Core25%
Price per month of the cheapest paid plan, against the prices of other video editing tools on the same billing basis (monthly-billed prices against monthly, annual-billed against annual).
Free plan or trial · Core15%
Whether you can use the tool before paying: a free plan, or failing that a free trial, as shown on the vendor's pricing page.
Verified features · Core15%
How many of the 10 features we track for this category the vendor's own pages verifiably show (analytics, team access, templates, ai assistant, automatic captions, text-based editing, 4k export, no watermark on paid plans, stock media library, real-time collaboration). This counts verified features only: a tool that documents less scores lower here, and only here.
Cost per user (team of 3) · Category15%
Monthly price per user for a team of 3, on the cheapest paid plan that is priced per seat or states room for at least 3 users.
Pricing transparency · Core10%
How much of the pricing is public: the share of plans with a published price ("contact sales" counts against), and whether there are at least 3 published tiers.
