Async vs Sonicker

Async is an online AI video editor where users create and edit videos through chat. It can remove filler, pauses, repetitions, bad takes, and awkward moments. Magic Dust reduces background noise and clarifies voices, while chat can generate B-roll, visuals, scenes, or music within an edit. Users can add subtitles and turn moments from longer videos into short-form clips. Async presents the workflow for ads, vlogs, explainers, podcasts, and other formats, and says it is built for creators and teams. Its browser-based remote interview feature supports up to 10 participants with separate tracks; local recording and automatic transcription are also listed. The Voice API supports text-to-speech and speech-to-text, including streaming over WebSockets. Async is available on the web and iOS, with no Android version listed. The Free plan is free and includes 10 lifetime AI credits, one hour of media upload to AI chat, exports up to 720p, and 2 GB storage. Paid pricing starts at $11.99/mo (annual).

Downloads are described as commercial-ready for editing, mockups, social content, and production workflows. Each sound-effects generation is shown as costing 40 credits. A free plan provides 55 credits monthly plus 10 at signup; paid plans start at $9.90 a month when billed annually. Unused subscription credits expire at the billing period. Video-to-sound is marked coming soon, with planned clip upload and scene-matched audio. Sonicker lists commercial use as restricted.
