Nova vs Splicora

Nova turns video links and uploads into short vertical clips, and can also make narrated shorts from scripts or pasted text. For video, it transcribes the source, scores transcript segments for standalone shareability, selects moments, reframes them while tracking the speaker, and adds word-by-word captions. It accepts YouTube links and uploaded files, including podcasts, stream VODs, and webinars. For text-based shorts, it adds AI narration and captions over looping background footage. The free plan is $0 forever and allows up to 12 clips and 30 source-minutes per month, with 1080p vertical exports and Classic captions. Paid plans start at $15/mo: Starter allows up to 60 clips and 150 source-minutes monthly, Pro adds Premiere and DaVinci Resolve exports, and Premium includes API access and team workspaces. The REST API uses Bearer-key authentication; Nova also describes an MCP server. Transcripts and related text go to OpenAI, while source files, clips, and thumbnails are stored in AWS.

Splicora turns video and other source material into short clips, captions, written content, and visuals organized around a project. Sources include uploads, video links, cloud storage, podcast RSS feeds, topics, scripts, and articles. Its browser-based multi-track editor includes waveforms, royalty-free music, AI captions, and B-roll, with exports up to 4K. It can publish natively to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Threads, and Bluesky. From a topic, script, or article, its Faceless tool creates a narrated vertical video with an AI voice, stock footage, and timed captions. The subtitle generator offers 100 styles, 20 free, and translation to more than 20 languages. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 25 monthly credits, 1 GB storage, one brand voice, and seven-day history. Starter costs $19 a month. The site says every feature is currently unlocked on every plan, while paid upgrades are not open yet. Splicora runs on the web, Android, and iOS.
