Which one should you choose?

Pricing

CapCut does not publish one price. Its help center says the price depends on your region and device and is shown in the app. Vidova shows its prices in your local currency on its plans page, and charges that amount.

How editing differs

CapCut is a manual editor first. You place clips, apply templates and effects, and set keyframes yourself. Its AI tools help with single tasks: captions, background removal, eye contact, clipping long videos and generating media. Video Studio can build a new video from a chat.

Vidova is agent first. You upload footage and write what you want, for example "cut my podcast into three vertical clips with captions". The agent edits the timeline, previews frames to check the result, and reports what it did. You can then change any clip by hand.

Exports and handoff

Vidova exports MP4 up to 4K at 60 fps on paid plans. It also exports an editable timeline: FCPXML for Premiere Pro and OTIO for DaVinci Resolve, packaged with the source media and an option to include captions. We found no export like this on CapCut's site.
