Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
CapCut
Free vertical video editor from the makers of TikTok
CapCut is free, runs on a phone or desktop, and every trending template lands here first. Auto captions are quick and accurate. Read the licence terms before using it for client work.
Our note
The best free video editor there is, with a caveat that has nothing to do with the software: it is owned by ByteDance, and the terms you agree to about your footage are worth ten minutes of reading before a client project goes through it.

Wisecut
Cuts the silences and scores what is left
Wisecut removes silences and filler from a long recording, adds subtitles and lays background music under the result, which is most of a rough edit done before anybody opens a timeline. Autopilot runs the whole sequence unattended. Plans are metered in credits split between editor time and automated time, so the two ways of using it are priced apart. A talking-head recording is what this is built for and a multi-camera shoot is not.
