When using a video production agency is the better call.
We put this first on purpose. If the left-hand card describes you, you will be happier elsewhere.
- You need concepts, scripts, casting or a shoot — not just someone to cut footage you already have.
- You want one accountable account manager coordinating a multi-week campaign across many deliverables.
- Consistent creative direction across dozens of assets matters more than unit price.
- You already have the footage — from creators, your team, or a shoot — and need it cut.
- You want to see exactly what each edit costs and who is doing it.
- Your volume is a handful of videos, not a retainer-sized campaign.
Row by row, with the winner named.
Our column is computed from 64 active editors' profiles, order records and the fee schedule. The other column carries no numbers: we have not measured anyone else, so we describe how it works instead of inventing a figure.
Platform figures: 2 days median first draft · 92% on time · 4.5% of orders disputed · 5% client fee.
