The baseline

beCreatives: what you'd be switching from

beCreatives' pricing page, checked October 7, 2026, sells monthly plans. Scale is $1,199 a month, or $999 a month billed quarterly, with a 2–3 business-day turnaround; Pro is $2,299 a month, or $1,999 billed quarterly, with a 1-day turnaround; In House Team is $4,999 a month billed quarterly. Every plan includes unlimited revisions and a dedicated editing team, and an $89 trial edit is credited toward the first month. Its turnaround table says it works on business days with one request at a time.

What beCreatives does well

  • An $89 trial edit, credited toward the first month
  • Unlimited revisions on every plan
  • Short-form and long-form in one plan

Why buyers look elsewhere

  • No published monthly video count
  • Requests are worked one at a time, on business days
  • The lowest price needs quarterly billing
  • Wanting thumbnails and strategy from the same studio

Dedicated editor hours

EditCrew

Best for: Teams with steady weekly volume who want an editor's hours and project files

$1,000/month (editor 2 hrs each workday)

Plans include stock media, simple thumbnails, AI captions and 3 months of storage, and a $100 trial week converts into the monthly plan. It works from templates rather than custom motion graphics. A Trustpilot reviewer liked that “they have a substitute in place for sick and vacation days”.

Pros

  • One dedicated editor who learns your style
  • Simple thumbnails and captions included
  • A $100 trial week before the $1,000/month plan

Cons

  • Two editing hours a day on the entry plan limits output

How we chose these options.

Mark Studios is our pick, and we wrote this list. We also sell on Fiverr. No provider paid to be listed. Our row shows our published monthly plan prices; one-off projects are quoted.

Who's included
We started from the services that ranking lists and AI answers name alongside beCreatives, kept those with a public price or a clear buying model, and compared each with beCreatives's own published plans.
What we checked
Each provider's own pricing page, read on October 7, 2026: buying model, lowest published starting price and stated turnaround. Upwork's page blocks automated checks, so its fees are from September 2026. Where a provider's pages disagree, we say so. Prices change, so confirm before you buy.
How it's ordered
Grouped by how you buy, from least to most managed: marketplaces, per-video pricing, monthly subscriptions, then dedicated-editor hours. Alphabetical inside each group. Mark Studios is listed first as our pick; the other options are not ranked against each other, and there are no scores.
