Our verdict: CapCut
The essential video tool for starting without budget. If you had to install only one AI video tool on your computer or phone, it would be CapCut. Downside: owned by ByteDance (TikTok), businesses sensitive to data will prefer a European alternative. For pure AI video generation (without editing), Runway or Kling remain superior.
Our verdict: Kapwing
Best for small marketing or HR teams wanting to edit videos together directly in the browser, especially for social media content. Avoid if you need pro color grading or complex animations - desktop editing software still wins there.
