By Vadim Soin, founder of DoneEdit · Updated November 9, 2026

Short answer

The best video editing service for a YouTuber depends on upload volume and budget. Per-video services like DoneEdit and Tasty Edits suit irregular schedules, subscriptions like VidChops, Vidpros and beCreatives suit weekly uploads, and marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr let you hire an individual editor. DoneEdit publishes this list and ranks itself #1 for short talking-head videos.

Disclosure: This list is published by DoneEdit; we ranked our own service #1. Everything else is ranked by our editorial judgement for the use case in the title. No company paid to be included, and we don't publish ratings or prices we couldn't read on the provider's own page.

"Video editing service" covers three different things: services that edit for you, platforms where you hire an editor, and job boards where editors find you. All three are here, ranked for a YouTuber who wants to stop editing, with the trade-offs of each.

How we ranked

  • Fit for the use case in the title. We asked: would this help a creator or small business with this specific job?
  • Clarity of what you get. Providers that publish their scope, turnaround or pricing ranked above those that don't.
  • Verified existence. We opened every website on November 9, 2026. Entries link to the provider's own site.
  • No invented data. We only list a price if we read it on the provider's own page that day, and we don't show star ratings or customer counts.
  • Our bias, stated plainly. DoneEdit is our service, so it's #1. Judge it against the others on the facts listed.

How to choose a service

  • 1–3 short videos a month: a per-video service avoids paying for unused subscription months.
  • A video every week: compare subscriptions that publish what each month includes, such as VidChops credits or Vidpros output ranges.
  • Several videos a week: higher-tier subscriptions with a dedicated editor, such as Black Bulb Media or Dava Studios.
  • You want one long-term editor: hire through Upwork, Fiverr Pro, YT Jobs or Contra and run a paid test first.

Questions to ask every provider

  1. What video types and lengths do you edit?
  2. How many revisions are included, and what counts as one?
  3. What's the turnaround, and is it business days or calendar days?
  4. Do I get the project files?
  5. What happens if I skip a month or cancel?

FAQ

What is the best video editing service for small YouTubers?

For short talking-head videos posted irregularly, a per-video service is usually the simplest; we rank our own, DoneEdit, first. For weekly long-form uploads, compare subscriptions like VidChops, Vidpros and editvideo.io, which publish their prices.

How much do YouTube editing services cost?

Published prices we found include Tasty Edits at $327 per video, VidChops at $495/month for 4 credits, editvideo.io from $295/month, Videomate from $799/month, beCreatives from $999/month billed quarterly, Vidpros from $1,000/month and Black Bulb Media at $1,699/month for its Growth plan.

Is it better to hire a freelancer or use a service?

A freelancer can be cheaper and more flexible but needs managing. A service gives you a process and backup editors. Your volume and how much you want to manage decide it.

Where can I find a YouTube editor for cheap?

Marketplaces like Fiverr and Upwork and communities like r/YouTubeEditorsForHire have the widest price range. Run a small paid test before committing.

DoneEdit is our own service. Competitor prices and features come from their public pages, checked November 9, 2026, and can change. We don't publish customer results we can't verify.
