What VidChops is
VidChops is a video editing company that works on monthly credits. Its pricing page says one credit covers one long-form video or four Shorts, with a 1–2 day turnaround and three revisions. At $495 for 4 credits, that works out to about $124 per long-form video if you use them all.
What Tasty Edits is
Tasty Edits is a managed YouTube editing agency that sells edits per video instead of a subscription. Its pricing page lists $327 for a single video and $305 per video in a 4-pack. You pay for what you use, which is easier to budget if you don't publish every week.
Choose VidChops if
- You publish every week and will use every credit.
- You also want Shorts, since one credit can cover four Shorts.
- Lowest per-video cost at steady volume matters most.
Choose Tasty Edits if
- Your schedule is irregular and a subscription would go unused.
- You want per-video pricing with no monthly commitment.
- You prefer to buy in small batches like a 4-pack.
What DoneEdit is (and isn't)
DoneEdit is a done-for-you editing service run by Vadim Soin. You send one raw talking-head video and get back a finished edit with captions, punch-in zooms, b-roll and music within 48 hours. AI does the repetitive work and a person checks the result. Two revisions are included, and if the second revision still misses, you get a refund. Files are deleted after 30 days.
It's deliberately narrow: one English speaker, up to 10 minutes of raw footage and up to 5 finished minutes. It doesn't edit multi-speaker podcasts or long-form videos. The founding price is $27 per video for the first 20 customers, then $67, with thumbnails for +$10. DoneEdit is new, so we don't publish customer results yet.
Worked example
A creator posting one long-form video a week uses 4 credits a month on VidChops, about $124 per video. A creator posting twice a month would pay $495 for 4 credits and waste 2, about $248 per video used, compared with $327 for a single Tasty Edits video or $305 each in a 4-pack. Do the maths on your real schedule before choosing.
Working out your real per-video cost
The headline prices aren't comparable until you plug in your schedule. VidChops' pricing page says one credit covers one long-form video or four Shorts, at $495 for 4 credits a month. Tasty Edits' pricing page lists $327 a video, or $305 each in a 4-pack.
- 4 long-form videos a month: VidChops about $124 each; Tasty Edits $305–$327 each.
- 2 long-form videos a month: VidChops still $495, so about $248 per video used, unless you spend the spare credits on Shorts (up to 8).
- 1 video every couple of months: Tasty Edits' single-video price avoids paying for unused months.
Questions that separate them
- Do you make Shorts? VidChops' credit can cover four Shorts, which uses up spare credits.
- How many revisions do you need? VidChops lists three revisions; ask Tasty Edits about theirs.
- How fast? VidChops lists a 1–2 day turnaround. Ask Tasty Edits for its current turnaround.
- Can you commit monthly? VidChops is a subscription; Tasty Edits sells per video and in packs.
Watch out for unused credits
Monthly credits only pay off when they're used. Before choosing VidChops, check how unused credits are handled at the end of the month and plan which videos you'll send. If your schedule varies a lot, Tasty Edits' per-video model means a quiet month costs you nothing.
Decision checklist
- Weekly uploads, plus Shorts? VidChops.
- Irregular uploads? Tasty Edits.
- Short solo talking-head videos, not long-form? DoneEdit.
- Always confirm current prices on each pricing page.
Bottom line
VidChops is usually cheaper per video for creators who publish every week and use all their credits, especially if they also want Shorts. Tasty Edits is usually the better fit for irregular schedules where a subscription would go unused. If your videos are short single-speaker talking-heads rather than long-form, DoneEdit at $27 (first 20 customers) or $67 is a third option to price in.
