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.
Design Wizard
Thumbnails and video from one cheap plan
Design Wizard edits both images and short videos from templates, which is unusual at ten dollars a month and useful for anybody whose thumbnail and channel trailer want the same treatment. Text, shapes and logos can be laid over video rather than only over stills. The free tier resizes and edits without uploads of your own. Stock media allowances are what separate the paid plans, so somebody bringing their own footage gets less from the upgrade than somebody who is not.
Our note
The free tier is worth taking seriously for stills, and the $9.99 step is really the price of the video features rather than a general upgrade. If your thumbnails are the whole job, test whether Basic covers them before subscribing at all.
PixTeller
Static graphics and short animations together
PixTeller makes the small visual assets a channel gets through in a week: cover art, quote cards, banners, and short animations built from the same design rather than in a separate tool. Templates and a large photo library carry most of the work, and anything static can be given motion without leaving the editor. It is aimed squarely at people producing volume rather than at anybody chasing a particular look.
