What Pro actually buys
Pro buys the editor without the walls: export at 1080p and 60fps, the full effects library, 1,200 AI credits a month for features that spend them. What it does not buy is time. You still cut by hand, caption by hand, place every piece of b-roll, and sit through the render on your phone. If the video takes an evening on free, it takes an evening on Pro.
What the same money buys on RealTake
RealTake Presence is $49 a month, or $29 a month billed yearly, for around 16 to 32 finished videos. Each one is edited for you: rambles and dead air cut with every cut labeled and reversible, captions animated word by word with 29 presets, a title on screen in the first second, b-roll from stock, AI generation and your own footage, 200+ motion graphics, camera moves that keep you in the frame, sound. The Studio is there if you want to change anything before it renders. Then post or schedule it to LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube from RealTake.
Every RealTake feature is on every plan, including the free one. You see the cost of a video before it renders, changes in the Studio before render cost nothing, and a failed render is never charged. A reminder email comes before any renewal, and you can cancel any time.
Upload one video and see it fully edited.
Free plan: 5 watermarked videos a month. No credit card.
