InVideo is a well-known AI video platform, and many creators wonder whether it can also handle their Shorts workflow. This post compares InVideo with ViralSplice on price, using only prices listed on each tool's own site today. The short version: ViralSplice Pro at $9 a month undercuts InVideo's Plus plan by $21 a month, and ViralSplice's $120 lifetime option ends the monthly bill entirely, something InVideo does not list. The two tools are built for different jobs, though, so price alone does not settle the choice.
The monthly prices side by side
Prices as listed on InVideo pricing page, November 2026. ViralSplice prices confirmed on the ViralSplice blog pricing section, November 2026. All prices are in US dollars, before tax, on annual billing unless noted:
- ViralSplice Free: $0, 5 jobs a day, watermarked clips
- ViralSplice Pro: $9 per month, or $90 per year, or $120 once for lifetime
- InVideo Starter: $10 per seat per month, billed annually, 400 credits a month
- InVideo Plus: $30 per seat per month, billed annually, 2,000 credits a month
- InVideo Max: $250 per seat per month, billed annually, 8,000 credits a month
The gap is straightforward. ViralSplice Pro at $9 a month costs $1 a month less than InVideo Starter at $10, and $21 a month less than InVideo Plus at $30. Over a year on annual billing, ViralSplice Pro at $90 costs $30 less than a year of InVideo Starter at $120, and $270 less than a year of InVideo Plus at $360. The $120 lifetime payment ends the monthly bill entirely, while InVideo's plans keep billing every year.
What each plan includes
The price gap makes more sense once you see what each tool is built for. InVideo is a broad AI video creation platform: its pricing page is built around credits that are spent on AI video and image generation, with a timeline editor, multiplayer editing, and stock footage on every plan. Higher plans buy more credits, more seats, and access to more AI models. That credit model suits creators who generate a lot of AI video and images from scratch.
ViralSplice is narrower by design: it does one job, turning a long video into vertical 9:16 Shorts. It finds the strongest moments, reframes them with blurred background borders, and burns in animated captions automatically. ViralSplice Pro includes 50 jobs a day, 1GB uploads, videos up to 60 minutes, no watermark, and a priority queue. There are no credits to count, because the plan is flat: one price, one set of limits.
How to choose between them
Price is only one part of the decision, and the honest answer depends on your workflow. If you generate AI videos and images from scratch every week, or you need a full timeline editor with multiplayer seats and stock footage, InVideo's credit plans may justify their price, and its Starter plan at $10 a month is close to ViralSplice Pro on price alone. If your main job is repurposing long videos into Shorts every day, the features that matter most are clip selection, captions, upload limits, and the monthly bill, and that is where ViralSplice Pro at $9 a month, $90 a year, or $120 once is hard to beat. Many creators use both: ViralSplice to cut the clips fast, and a broader editor only when a clip needs extra polish. Either way, check the current pricing page of both tools before you buy, because prices and plans can change. A quick side-by-side test is also worth your time: run the same long video through both free plans and compare the clips before committing to either monthly bill.
