The best video editing service for a YouTuber depends on how you want to buy. Tasty Edits sells per video ($278–$327 long-form). VidChops ($495/month for four videos) and Video Husky (from $849/month) sell monthly plans. Vidpros and EditCrew rent a dedicated editor's hours. Fiverr and Upwork are marketplaces. Mark Studios quotes each project and also films on site in South Florida.
We started from the providers that appear most often on ranking “best video editing services” lists and in AI answers about YouTube editing, then kept the ones with a public price or a clear buying model.
What we checked
Each provider's own pricing or service page, read on September 23, 2026: buying model, lowest published starting price and stated turnaround. Pros and cons come from those pages and from linked public reviews (Trustpilot, Reddit). 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, dedicated-editor hours, then agencies. Alphabetical inside each group. The order is not a ranking, and there are no scores.
Mark Studios is one of the options on this list, and we wrote it. We also sell on Fiverr. No provider paid to be listed, and we don't publish our own prices, so our row says quote-based.

Model: Marketplace · Starting price: Set by each seller, plus a 5.5% buyer fee ($3.50 more under $200) · Stated turnaround: Set per gig Best for: One-off edits when you have time to vet sellers
Fiverr is a marketplace: you compare editors' portfolios, prices and delivery times, then pay per project. Only buyers who completed a paid order can leave a review, and Top Rated and Pro badges come from Fiverr's own vetting. Disclosure: Mark Studios also sells on Fiverr.
Pros
Compare many editors' prices and delivery times side by side
No subscription: pay per project
Reviews come only from completed, paid orders
Cons
5.5% buyer service fee, plus $3.50 on orders under $200
Quality varies by seller, so vetting is on you. One creator called Fiverr “a hit and miss” before moving to an agency
Model: Marketplace · Starting price: Set by each freelancer, plus a 5% service fee (Basic plan) and a $0.99–$14.99 contract fee · Stated turnaround: Agreed per contract Best for: Hiring a long-term freelance editor you manage yourself
Upwork works like a job board: you post the job, freelancers send proposals, and you hire hourly or at a fixed price. On the Basic client plan the service fee is 5%, plus a one-time contract initiation fee of $0.99 to $14.99; Business Plus is 10%. It suits buyers who want a direct, long-term relationship with one editor and are ready to manage it.
Pros
Hourly or fixed-price contracts
Suits a long-term, direct relationship with one editor
ID-verified freelancers with reviews and work history

Tasty Edits publishes per-video prices: $327 for one long-form video, $305 each for four and $278 each for eight, with a 48-hour turnaround. Shorts run $94 down to $80 each with a 24-hour turnaround, thumbnails are a $43 add-on, and YouTube channel management starts at $1,266/month on annual billing. Trustpilot reviews are mixed: one reviewer called it “AMAZING with slower formats” but found quick-paced videos harder, and another wanted more custom graphics.
Pros
Public per-video prices, so you know the cost before a call
48-hour long-form and 24-hour short-form turnaround
Thumbnails and channel management available
Cons
Per-video costs add up at high volume
Some Trustpilot reviewers found fast-paced, graphics-heavy edits harder to get right
Model: Monthly subscription · Starting price: $1,199/month (Scale); $89 single-video trial · Stated turnaround: 2–3 business days (Scale); 1 day (Pro) Best for: Teams that want to trial one edit before subscribing
beCreatives sells monthly plans: Scale at $1,199/month with a 2–3 business-day turnaround, Pro at $2,299/month with a 1-day turnaround, and In House Team at $6,000/month.

Pros
$89 trial edit, credited toward the first month
Unlimited revisions on every plan
Short-form and long-form in one plan
Cons
No fixed monthly video count is published, so ask for expected output
A higher monthly entry price than per-video options if you post once a week

VidChops sells monthly credits: one credit is one long-form video (5–60 minutes) or four short-form videos. Weekly is $495/month for 4 credits with 3 revisions per video, and Pro is $995/month for 8 credits with unlimited revisions and an account manager. Both list a 1–2 day turnaround, a dedicated editor, no contract and a 14-day money-back guarantee. One creator who uses a lot of motion graphics felt it was “geared to talking head videos with minimal editing”.
Pros
Credits mix long-form and shorts (1 credit = 1 long video or 4 shorts)
1–2 day turnaround and a dedicated editor on both plans
No contract and a 14-day money-back guarantee
Cons
Weekly covers 4 long-form videos a month; more means Pro at $995
Subtitles cost $95/month extra, and its FAQ rules out voiceovers and 2D/3D animation
Model: Monthly subscription · Starting price: $849/month (Eskimo tier) · Stated turnaround: First draft in 1–3 business days Best for: Channels that want a managed monthly tier instead of per-video quotes
Video Husky sells three monthly tiers on its pricing page: Eskimo at $849, Siberian at $1,590 and St. Bernard at $2,749, plus separate prepaid credit bundles. It says first drafts arrive in 1–3 business days and that 97.5% of requests take two business days or less. The pricing page doesn't say how many videos each tier covers; a 90-second quiz helps you pick one.
Pros
Published tiers from $849/month and a stated first-draft window
Tiers scale up to a fully dedicated editing service
An action-based money-back guarantee
Cons
The number of videos per tier isn't published, so ask for expected output

Both include a project manager, unlimited revisions, access to the Adobe project files and a 14-day satisfaction guarantee.
Pros

Project manager and Adobe project-file access included
14-day satisfaction guarantee

A flat monthly fee only pays off at steady volume
You buy hours, not videos, so output depends on how long each edit takes

Vidpros assigns a dedicated editor by the hour: Part Time is $1,000/month for 2 hours each workday with overnight turnaround depending on complexity, and Full Time is $4,000/month for 8 hours a day.

FAQ
Best video editing services for YouTubers: frequently asked questions
It depends on how you want to buy. For a fixed per-video price, Tasty Edits publishes $278–$327 per long-form video. For a flat monthly plan, VidChops starts at $495/month for four long-form videos. For a dedicated editor's hours, Vidpros starts at $1,000/month. For one team that edits, designs thumbnails and films on site in South Florida, Mark Studios quotes per project.
Published prices checked in September 2026 run from an $89 beCreatives trial edit to $5,000/month for Increditors' YouTube editing. Per-video packages sit at $278–$327 per long-form video (Tasty Edits), monthly subscriptions at $495 to $6,000 (VidChops Weekly to beCreatives' In House Team), and dedicated-editor plans at $1,000–$4,000/month. Marketplaces add a buyer fee. Our YouTube editing cost guide has market ranges.
Usually not. VidChops' pricing FAQ says its legacy Unlimited Chops plan returned 8–12 videos a month, and its current plans sell fixed credits: 4 on Weekly, 8 on Pro. beCreatives and Video Husky don't publish a video count per plan. Before you subscribe to any plan, ask for the expected number of videos per month at your video length and format, and how the queue works when you send several at once.
Marketplaces fit one-off or trial projects where you can vet editors and manage revisions yourself. Fiverr adds a 5.5% buyer fee and Upwork a 5% service fee on its Basic plan. A subscription or agency fits steady weekly volume where you want the same editor, backup cover and one point of contact. Our guide to hiring a video editor on Fiverr covers the vetting.
