Why Snipri

Why choose Snipri over 2short.ai

More ways to bring your video

2short.ai is built around pasting a YouTube link. Snipri takes public YouTube video links too, plus file uploads, other video links, Dropbox and Google Drive.

Captions you can restyle later

Word-level captions in the style you pick, with your own fonts and colours. Changing them re-renders the clip without using minutes.

One allowance for the whole job

2short.ai meters analysis hours and, on Lite, fast exports separately. Snipri's minutes cover selection, reframing, captions and export.

Only moments that stand on their own

Every candidate is scored on hook, payoff, standalone sense, arc and quotability. Hook, payoff and standalone sense each have to reach 7/10 or the moment is dropped, and the five scores sit next to every clip so you can see why it was picked.

You pay for the recording, not the output

Plans meter minutes of source video. Cutting ten clips from an hour costs the same as cutting three, and changing captions or trimming afterwards uses no minutes.

Built and answered by one person

Snipri is made by a single developer. Email goes to the person who wrote the code, and the limits are written on the page instead of discovered in the support queue.

When 2short.ai is the better fit

  • You want more hours of analysis for the money (Lite lists 5 hours for $9.90)
  • You publish in languages other than English (26 are listed)
  • You want a recurring free allowance every month
