20 Best Video Editing Companies in 2026, With Prices and Turnaround
The 20 best video editing companies in 2026, rechecked on their own sites in September: published prices, stated turnaround and the model each one sells, from monthly editing services to award-winning commercial post houses.
A video editing company takes the footage you shot and hands back finished videos, and the right one depends on how often you publish and how much the edit has to carry. For weekly YouTube and social edits, a monthly editing service is the usual answer: published prices start at $495 a month (Vidchops), and most promise one to three business days per video. For a broadcast commercial you want a post house such as Cut+Run or Work Editorial, which bids per project and puts a named editor on the cut. Between the two sit creative teams that package editing with design and motion. I work at Moonb, one of those teams and the first entry below, so read that entry as a company describing itself.
Search for a video editing company and the results mash three different purchases together. The editing services work through your raw footage on a weekly rhythm, while a creative partner folds editing into a bigger production or design engagement. Post houses sit apart from both, cutting commercials with editors whose names end up in the credits and on awards lists. These groups rarely compete for the same job and their prices barely overlap, so knowing which one you are shopping for matters more than any single name below.
I rechecked all twenty against their own sites in September 2026: whether each is still operating, how it charges (per video, per credit, per hour or per month), the turnaround it promises and the clients it names. Where a company does not say, I write “not publicly stated” instead of guessing. One entry changed since the last update. Demo Duck is a good studio, but it makes explainer videos and this list is about editing, so it made way for beCreatives, a monthly editing service. If you would rather do the editing yourself, my guide to the best video editing software covers the tools, and the video editing cost guide explains what drives a quote.
If you only want the numbers:
- Lowest published monthly prices: Vidchops from $495, Video Husky from $549, Veedyou from $899, VidPros from $1,000 and beCreatives from $1,199 on monthly billing.
- Pay as you go: Video Husky credits cost $45 each in bundles from $225, and beCreatives sells a single test video for $89. Tasty Edits charges $327 per horizontal video, less in packages.
- Fastest stated turnaround: same day on Vidchops’ full-time editor option, one day on beCreatives Pro and on Tasty Edits’ vertical videos, and one to two days on Vidchops’ credit plans, VidPros and Veedyou Growth (with overnight revisions at VidPros).
- The top end: Superside starts at $15,000 a month on an annual term, while none of the eight post houses publishes a rate or a turnaround, because each one bids per project.

Which kind of editing company fits your situation
The twenty sit on three shelves, and your situation chooses the shelf before you ever compare names.
- You have footage piling up and need it cut every week. Look at the editing services: Vidchops, Video Husky, Tasty Edits, VidPros, beCreatives and Veedyou. Compare their published prices with your monthly volume, and read the limits before you commit.
- You need editing plus the creative around it. That points to Moonb, Kimp, Vidico, Superside, Sandwich or Lemonlight, matched in that order to brand consistency, social volume, tech production, a large annual retainer, a premium product film or shoots in many cities. You are paying for a team, and the edit is one part of what it makes.
- You are cutting a commercial and the edit will make or break it. Go to the post houses: Cut+Run, Union, Whitehouse, Trim, Final Cut, Work, Arcade and MakeMake. Here the editor is what you are buying, so shortlist the person whose reel moves you first and the company around them second.
- Whichever shelf you land on, watch the caps and the clocks. Editing services publish limits, such as a 15-minute ceiling on finished videos or one video in progress at a time, and those limits decide more about your month than the headline price. Post houses publish nothing, so the bid rises and falls with how complex the cut is.
For a feel of what you pay for at the craft end, Crash Course’s episode on the editor is eleven minutes well spent. It walks through how an edit builds meaning shot by shot, and once you have seen it, the gap between trimming footage and real editorial work stops being abstract.
Four ways editing gets priced, and which one fits your schedule
Matching the pricing model to how often you publish saves more money than chasing the lowest number on a pricing page.
- Per minute of finished video. You will mostly meet this with freelancers and one-off post jobs, and it is fair for a piece of known length. None of the twenty prices strictly by the minute, though Video Husky’s credits come close, with a short of up to 60 seconds costing one credit and a basic edit of up to 20 minutes costing two. If Fiverr is where this search started, our rundown of where to hire a freelance video editor compares it with Upwork and the other marketplaces.
- Per video. Tasty Edits works this way, at $327 per horizontal video or $278 each in an 8-video package, and beCreatives sells a single test video for $89. Because an empty month costs nothing, paying per video suits an irregular schedule, and it is the safest way to judge a service before you commit to anything longer.
- Monthly. Vidchops, Video Husky, Veedyou, beCreatives and Kimp sell monthly capacity, counted in credits, videos or requests in progress, and VidPros sells the hourly version of the same idea. The maths only works if you use what you pay for: Vidchops’ $495 plan comes to about $124 per long-form video when all four credits get used, and every credit that expires pushes that figure up.
- Bid per project. Every post house here quotes the job in front of it. Have the script or board, the running length, the number of versions and the delivery date ready, because those four things decide the bid.
If you publish less than once a week, paying per video keeps the quiet months free. From weekly upward, a monthly plan usually lands at a lower cost per finished video, and for a commercial the only real benchmark is a second bid. If you are weighing a hire against any of these, our guide on how to hire a video editor walks through scoping the role and running a paid test.
Where I see buyers overpay or under-buy
- Sending commercial work to an editing service. A $495 monthly plan will technically cut your brand film, and the result will look like a $495 cut. These services are built for talking-head and social volume, and campaign craft is a different job.
- Hiring a post house for weekly content. This inverse mistake costs even more, because bid-per-project pricing on a steady content stream burns money on work an editing service or an embedded team would handle for a fraction of the cost.
- Ignoring the fine print on volume plans. A 15-minute cap on finished videos at Vidchops, or a one-video queue on Veedyou’s Starter plan, decides what a month of editing gets you. Both limits are published, just further down the page than the price.
- Committing before a test edit. VidPros sells a $100 trial week, Veedyou a $159 one and beCreatives an $89 single video. Send real footage with a real brief and judge the result before you sign up for a quarter.
- Buying editing when the problem is the footage. No editor rescues material that was never planned, so if every edit disappoints, the fix usually sits upstream in the brief and the shoot. That is an argument for a partner over a pure editing service.

Frequently asked questions
Mostly it depends on how the company charges. Monthly editing services with published prices start around $500 a month for a handful of long-form videos and climb into the low thousands for more volume or a dedicated editor. Credits and pay-per-video options suit irregular schedules, and some services sell a single test edit for under $100. Commercial post houses bid per project and publish no rates, so to price a broadcast edit you send your script and delivery date and ask for a bid.
A freelancer can cost less and works well for a one-off project, as long as you have the time to brief the editor and then review and chase the edit yourself. A video editing company gives you cover when your editor is away and usually a stated turnaround, both of which start to matter once you publish every week. What decides it is who manages the work: if nobody on your team has that time, a company earns its higher price.
Send two or three finished videos you like, with a line on what works in each, plus your logo files and the fonts and colors your brand uses. Put the raw footage for each video in its own folder and flag the best takes so your editor does not spend time hunting through clips. A short written brief saying where the video will run and how long it should be removes most of the first round of revisions.
