Shorts Agency Costs In 2026
Short-form video services publish prices, turnaround times and revision terms on their own pages, but they count a video, a credit and a month in different ways. This post sets out what seven public pages say and what to compare before you pay anyone.
Updated 25 October 2026. Every rule or figure links to the page it came from.
Key Takeaways
- The pages we read price in different ways: per video, per credit, or a monthly fee for a set number of videos or for unlimited editing.1 3 4 6
- A low headline price tells you little until you know what counts as one video and how long a video may run.
- Some services return videos ready for you to publish, and some list posting as part of the service.2 5 7
- Ask each service the same questions about turnaround, revisions, posting and file ownership, then compare the answers side by side.
How Do Short-Form Video Services Charge?
The seven pages we read use three models: a price per video, a monthly fee for a set number of videos or credits, and a flat monthly fee for open-ended editing. The table shows one figure from each page, taken as printed on the day we captured it.
| Service | How it charges | A figure from its own page |
|---|---|---|
| Tasty Edits | Packages show a discount and a price per video.1 | The horizontal video packages cost $327 per video for one video and $278 per video for eight videos.1 |
| Feedbird | Short-form videos are sold as a monthly plan with a set number of videos.2 | Short-form videos start from $149 a month for 5 videos.2 |
| Editvideo | Each plan includes an agreed number of videos a month, held as credits.3 | The long-form Grow plan lists 4 videos a month at $345 on the monthly price.3 |
| Vidchops | Each month you purchase credits, and one credit equals 4 short form videos.4 | The weekly plan costs $495 for 4 credits a month, or 16 short form videos.4 |
| Splasheo | It prices short form edits per video, with credits in the free trial.5 | The page says from $9.90 per video.5 |
| Capture Video And Marketing | It sells unlimited editing for a flat monthly rate.6 | Unlimited editing starts at $2,250 per month.6 |
| ShortVids | It sells monthly subscription plans.7 | The page says starting at $999 a month.7 |
Editvideo shows a monthly price and a lower quarterly price for the same plan.3
Treat these as a snapshot. Prices and plans change, so check the live page before you rely on a figure.
What Counts As One Video Or One Credit?
Editvideo says videos with heavy motion graphics or multiple revision rounds may use more than one credit.3
Editvideo also says monthly video credits do not roll over to the next billing month.3
Vidchops counts credits by length, so one credit covers one long-form video or 4 short form videos.4
ShortVids lists its entry plan as 2 long-form edits and 1 active request.7
So a price per video, a price per credit and a price per month are not the same thing. Ask each service for a written definition of one video: the longest it may run, how much raw footage it may come from, and what extra work uses a second credit.
What Do These Services Say Is Included?
Inclusions differ more than prices do. These are the lines each page prints, not a promise that they suit your channel.
- Tasty Edits lists motion graphics, unlimited stock footage, and royalty-free music and sound effects in all packages.1
- Editvideo lists captions, premium stock footage, premium music and all project files.3
- Vidchops lists royalty free stock audio and video, lower third titles and transitions, and a dedicated video editor.4
- Capture Video And Marketing lists a client portal, motion graphics and captions, and a working files download.6
- Feedbird says its videos are edited, captioned and ready to post, with hooks written to stop the scroll.2
Match the list to your own workflow. If you already have a script and footage, you need an editor. If you have neither, check whether the service writes scripts or supplies stock, and whether that costs extra.
How Fast Is Turnaround And How Many Revisions Are Offered?
Turnaround and revision terms sit next to the price on most of these pages. The wording matters: some quote hours, some quote days, and some tie the time to the plan.
| Service | Turnaround it states | Revisions it states |
|---|---|---|
| Tasty Edits | All packages list a 48 hour turnaround.1 | All packages list unlimited revisions.1 |
| Feedbird | It says you receive full deliverables in about a week.2 | The guarantee lists 2+ revision rounds.2 |
| Editvideo | It lists a 24 to 48hr turnaround.3 | It lists unlimited revisions.3 |
| Vidchops | It lists a turnaround of 1 to 2 days.4 | The weekly plan lists 3 revisions per video, and the Pro plan lists unlimited revisions per video.4 |
| Splasheo | It lists a 1-6 hour turn around, and says repurposed videos come back within 2-3 business days.5 | It offers unlimited revision requests.5 |
| Capture Video And Marketing | The Essentials plan lists a 5 days turnaround for multiple videos and the Pro plan lists 2 days.6 | Both plans list unlimited editing and revisions.6 |
| ShortVids | The StartUp plan lists a 24h turnaround.7 | The StartUp plan lists unlimited revisions.7 |
Read the small print on both. Ask when the turnaround clock starts (at the brief, at the upload or at your approval), and whether unlimited revisions have a queue or a limit on active requests.
Do These Services Make The Footage Or Only Edit It?
Capture Video And Marketing puts it as: You Film. We Edit.6
Splasheo asks you to upload your videos and returns them ready to publish as Shorts, Reels or TikToks.5
Feedbird says you can send your own clips, or it can work with stock and motion graphics.2
ShortVids lists faceless and stock video among its services.7
For a faceless channel the question is where the footage comes from. Some services edit footage you supply, and others add stock. If you have no footage, ask what the service can supply, whether that costs extra, and for a sample made without your face or voice.
Who Posts The Videos, And Who Owns The Files?
Feedbird says its short-form videos are posted to your channels for you.2
ShortVids lists posting support on its Growth plan.7
Editvideo lists all project files as included.3
Capture Video And Marketing lists a working files download.6
Where a service posts for you, it needs access to your channel, so give the narrowest role that works and remove it when the work ends. The guide linked below covers channel access.
On the pages we read, none sets out who owns the finished video or its music. Ask for that in writing, and keep the licence for any music or stock before you publish.
What Commitment And Refund Terms Do They State?
- Feedbird lists no contracts and a 14-day money-back guarantee.2
- Vidchops lists no contract, with cancel anytime.4
- Editvideo lists a 14 day money back guarantee and cancel anytime.3
- Splasheo lists a 7 day free trial and says a credit card is required.5
- Capture Video And Marketing says its service is for marketing teams only.6
A restriction like that last one matters if you run a channel as an individual. Check who the service says it is for before you book a call.
How Should You Compare An Agency With Any Other Way To Make Shorts?
Use the same questions for every option, whether it is an agency, a freelancer or a software tool, and write the answers down next to each other.
- What exactly counts as one finished video, and how long can it run?
- How many revision rounds are included, and what happens after them?
- Who supplies the footage, script and voice, and who posts the result?
- Who owns the finished video and the working files, and who holds the music licence?
- What is the cost per finished video once you divide the monthly fee by the videos you will really use?
This post does not say which option costs less. That depends on your volume, your footage and how much of the work you want to do yourself.
