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.
DaVinci Resolve
Edit, colour and audio post in one app
DaVinci Resolve is the free version of the software a great many films are finished on, carrying editing, colour correction, visual effects and audio post in one application. The free build is not a trial and does not watermark what it exports. Studio costs $295 once and adds the neural engine features, better noise reduction and higher frame rates. The learning curve is the real price of admission.
Our note
The free version is more capable than most paid editors, and the only real cost is the time it takes to learn. Buy Studio when a specific feature blocks you rather than up front.

- Covers motion graphics & animation
Flixier
Browser editing that renders in the cloud
Flixier edits in a browser tab and does the rendering on its own machines, so an export finishes at the same speed on a cheap laptop as on a workstation. Footage can be pulled in from Drive, Dropbox and a phone without a download step first. The free tier watermarks and caps exports at ten minutes a month, which is enough to judge it and not enough to work with. Seats are what get billed, and the AI credits included per seat are the other thing separating the plans.
