FlexClip
Template-led video editing in a browser
FlexClip is a template-first video editor for somebody making a promo or a social post rather than a film. The free plan exports at 720p and caps projects, stock use and length. Paying takes it to 1080p and opens the stock library properly. Credits meter the AI features on top of that.
Our note
Judge this on whether its templates suit what you make, because that is the entire product. Canva covers the same ground with a wider library if you also need static graphics.

Wave.video
Editing, hosting and streaming on one plan
Wave.video puts three things on one bill that are normally three subscriptions: an editor, a video host with embeds, and live streaming out to several destinations at once. The hosting side states its bandwidth and storage allowances rather than claiming they are unlimited, and charges per gigabyte beyond them. It suits somebody whose video mostly ends up on their own site.
Why people weigh these two
- Wave.video instead of FlexClip
- Wave.video combines template editing with video hosting and live streaming on one plan, with a free tier and a $16 starting price.
- FlexClip instead of Wave.video
- FlexClip is editing only, template-led, with a free tier and plans from $19.99, sharper if the editor is the one piece of Wave.video's bundle you actually use.
Which one should you pick
Pick FlexClip if editing from a template is the whole job and the video lives on social platforms rather than your own site. Plus is $19.99 a month, or $11.99 billed annually, for 1080p export and unlimited saved projects.
Choose Wave.video if the video also needs to be hosted on your own site or streamed live to several destinations at once, since that is normally three separate subscriptions. Compare its stated hosting allowance, 20 embeds and 150 GB of traffic on the entry paid tier, against your actual monthly views before assuming the bundle is the cheaper route.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper?
- FlexClip's price is clear: Plus is $19.99 a month, or $11.99 billed annually. Wave.video's cards show $16 for Streamer with no billing period stated, so the two are not directly comparable on price alone.
- Does either include video hosting?
- Wave.video does, with stated bandwidth and embed allowances rather than an unlimited claim, plus overage priced at 10 cents a gigabyte. FlexClip's listing describes only editing and export, with no hosting feature.
- Can either stream live?
- Wave.video can, out to several platforms including Facebook, YouTube and Twitch at once. FlexClip's listing does not mention live streaming.
- Do both free plans carry a watermark?
- Wave.video's free plan does, on top of a 15-minute cap and 10 GB a month. FlexClip's free plan caps resolution at 720p, projects at twelve and videos at ten minutes, with no watermark mentioned.
