Fractional editor hours rather than output. You buy a slice of a dedicated editor's day, and they cap each editor at four clients so the hours are real.
2 hours per workday, dedicated editor, overnight turnaround, AI captions, 3-month storage
Full-time editor, 8 hours/day, everything in Part Time
Where each of us wins.

- —You have high, steady volume and want raw hours. At true full-time load, $4,000 for eight hours a day is hard to beat and we will not undercut it.
- —You need an editor embedded in your process — daily standups, live feedback, work that isn't cleanly packaged as 'a video'.
- —You already have a producer or creative director and just need hands on a timeline.
- —You want a predictable cost per delivered video rather than a bill for hours consumed.
- —Your volume is uneven — hours-based pricing punishes quiet weeks, slots do not.
- —You want creative direction included, not just execution.
This is the cleanest philosophical split in the category: VidPros sells time, we sell delivered output. Their four-clients-per-editor cap is a genuinely good policy and their full-time tier is cheaper than our Studio plan. If your volume is steady and heavy, price it out honestly — they may win.
